Rheem Heat Pump Freezing in the Heat Mode

[@jthonn]

Man that spark on video was so real I thought it shocked me. Nice Job!

[@Bone_marrow-123]

I jumped when he sparked 😂 great video Curtis.

[@asperbergers7136]

What you said about Christmas is spot on! I work in apartments and I know there are people holding off their workorders just because it is near Christmas. They think they’re doing us a favor but it always backs up like crazy. I send out notices to residents asking they report all maintenance issues if possible because we have had some systems or appliances get destroyed because people wanted to wait.

Hope you feel better

When I saw the lights blinking on the board I wondered why you did not disconnect the stat wires.

I agree, i dont mind the “helicopters” i feel like if you have pride and confidence in what you do, no amount of eyes over your shoulder are gonna have any effect

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

Curtis just watched a video about Rheem problems with defrost. The tech said the sensors that come in the pro tech box aren’t fixing the problem. Rheem says to use PD476604. I noticed you got 2 sets of sensors maybe that was one of the good ones the guy I watch was on KZbin let me know if you want the tech video

[@HVACGUY]

Sure

Got to give you a little s for that sparky. Next time turn off the air handle breaker too. 😊

[@kens.3729]

Now Viewers, Please be Honest. How many Viewers Jumped when Curtis pulled off the one (1) wire and it Sparked. Lucky you’re wearing gloves, using tools.👍🙏

Proves he had 24V!😉

[@jonleon9132]

24v wouldnt do anything to you

I have Never seen that much Ice on the Inside of the Outdoor AC Unit. WOW! 🤔

[@Balticblue93]

Seriously!! You could throw a party with that much ice! Maybe go skiing!

[@Balticblue93]

@@Jon-hx7pe well, technically, a heat pump is an AC condenser in the summer and a heat pump in the winter. The indoor evaporator becomes the condenser and the outdoor unit dumps the cool off the air as the reversing valve is energized and reverses the refrigerant flow. The best setups are the dual-fuel setup with a gas furnace if the heat pump you own cannot work at low temps. But the current units can easily run to -25 degrees. I install the Bryant systems which is Carrier and they can run to low temperatures.

[@BlueDinnie]

I saw that ice and he said umph first thing I thought of (DJ voice) New song on HVAC guy channel heat gun for the heat pump 🥁🥁 heat gun for the heat pump🥁🥁heat gun for the heat pump🥁🥁

[@kens.3729]

I can honestly say I’ve never seen a two-blade fan on an outdoor AC Unit. 🤔

[@TermitesRGood1]

Same thing happen to me when Building my new house back in 2015 I had to have the heat on because they did painting.. While overnight Frozen BLOCK... what you have there is nothing to what mine looked like..... The Board went out and they replaced sensor...... they had a recall of these boards back in 2015..... dont know if this is the case here

[@hughholt121]

Screaming at all those touchdowns made you horse Curtis...hope you feel better but another cold front on the way.

[@integratyper6415]

D on that board (Purple) wires up to what on T-stat wire ?

Lol I jumped too!

Not sure the Customers know that the more they Talk with the Tech, the more Expensive the Final Bill is. I know, I just blew the Service Call Secret. 😬👍

Hi Curtis 😊

[@Hvac-dude]

I know my nieghbors house is very hard to heat aswell I feel bad because I'm in experince I'd love to help her but idk yet I have the knowledge and her house wouldn't go above 63 it was set for 70 come to find out her furnace was going out on high limit because her filter was clogged

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

what k ohms are those thermistors ? thanks for sharing,hope you get well soon.

[@HVACGUY]

I don’t know

[@TPINSC]

I would compare the old/new ohm reading and see if it it's bad or out of range.

[@glenbeaver2784]

Mr Perez the value or ohms of the sensors changes with temperature. There are tables for this. Boards with two sensors are demand Boards. And work off of temperature differences. You can buy an adjustable reastat (kind of like a dimmer switch) and fool the board onto thinking it's time for defrost. But just having a thermistor chart will usually let you know if it's the board or a sensor.
