Heat pump not heating ? Can we fix it ?

[@jdcalvin1]

Very helpful. I really like that you identified the problem but still walked through it. Everyones situation is different so knowing what its expected to look like is very helpful.

Christmas Eve and our heat pump decided to stop working. Gotta laugh or lose it ya know 😂. I will say this though-you have such a great teaching voice! So glad your page came up when I did a search.

Very good video. Thanks for helping folks. My AC guy always helped people too including me when my income was low. I stayed with him 19 years till he retired and closed his business.

Like to hear more on that magnet on reversing valve

[@SmithFarmShenanigans-r3f]

@@dumpsterjerry3577 yeah , if the reverseing valve is sticking you can use a strong magnet to slide it back and forth without having to cut it out, also you can buy heat pump oil to out in on you own, it comes in a can like freon and you just add it to your heat pump. Thanks for the comment

Thanks man. I never new the hps and lps have a shrader, Im 6 months into my HVAC job and all they will teach me is guilt for not being able to sell overpriced add-ons during preventative maintenance calls.

@@unabridgeddick6645 yeah its a shame we have gotten so bad in society where people just want to make a buck of each other. Thanks for the comment.

G is for the air handler and the black wire is a extra in case you have a broken wire. You also need to cheak you pressure to make sure your HPS is working on both heat and cold so reversing works and dose not get stuck !!

[@SmithFarmShenanigans-r3f]

Yes thats correct, but a lot of diy folks don’t have gauges so thats why I suggested running it cool mode and then switch it over to heat mode to make sure its working, thanks for your comment

Looks like They switched yellow to black cause they found or thought there was a short in that wire.
