Mitsi split freezing HP pipe
Hi,
Right I'm going to poke my head above the trench and see what happens!
I fitted a SRK40HD about 2-3 years ago. All has worked fine until this week
When in cooling mode the HP pipe freezes up until the system shuts down. I've took all the covers off the outdoor unit to find the pipe only freezes up after an electrically controlled valve, so I figure that's the problem. It seems to work ok in heating mode.
There's only a pipe in and a pipe out on this valve, but it has 4 or 5 wires (getting dark outside)
So to the questions...
Is this the electronic expansion valve?
Is there a way to test it?
Can it be freed off or fixed without replacing it?
If not who could fit me a new one, I don't want to be brazing that together!
Cheers,
Gavin
