Hi there
having trouble with a heatpump/Ac that was working great all of the winter but now when i tested the ac it didnt work at all either in heatmode or in Ac mode.
the machine just goes on and on in every three minutes or so it defrosts but when defrost is done and its usually blows heat only a burst of heat comes out.
i suspect the 4way valve is not working properly.
can someone explain what the funktion of the valve
is?
i have tried tapping the 4way valve with a screwdriver.
i have disconected the wire to the 4way valve and it clicks when i do that.
i have measured the inside unit tempsensor and it changes value when i touch it with my finger.
and before when it worked ok it drew 6amp from the power outlet but now i when i measured it only drew
2.5 amp from the power outlet.?????????
we have 220volt here in sweden.
thanks in advance!
