if the thermostat is fine then that means the swiching relay on the pcb board might be faulty or stuck in the heat mode but u really have to check it properly on site when ure there take the pcb board out and physically check for burn marks

It may be outside air temp. Some splits like sharp will not run in an ambient lower than 16oC (in cooling) if head pressure control option isn't fitted. Otherwise check pcb relays etc.

Big possibilty that the reversing valve is not throwing accross, seen that a lot, flashing light could be that the electronics are looking for specific sensor temperatures after certain times, but not seeing them, so faulting out. Check if there is a feed to the valve coil in 1 mode and not the other. I know it sounds a little crude, but sometimes a light tap with the handle of a screwdriver will encourage the valve slide to move.
