These repairs are with in a month.
The first due to my outside unit on my heat pump 2.5 tons, 13 years old, making noise and freezing. He replaced the motor two days later same noise. When I called them back out they said the fan was making the noise. They would order it, a week and half later, I am at warehouse picking up fan myself. They said the freezing was normal.
Not willing to call back first tech that would not pick up phone when I called an yes this was a company.
I started trouble shooting
Still freezing I check the defrost board and it going into defrost by jumping the pins.
Second tech an inch of ice on outside unit. 2.5 lbs *****, the temp on the line went from 117 to 150, he raise the defrost time to 80 from 60 seconds. He said the fan was running in defrost. He was not sure why this would happen.
The unit is still frosting heavy this morning with ice on Cage, lucky it melted due to warm temp.
Would the ICP Heat Pump Contactor cause the fan to stay on and reduce the efficiency of the defrost mode. What else could cause fan not turning off and freezing.
