Question

Reversing Valve Clicks


goodman gsh130241ab heat pump

The selenoid clicks then goes from cool to hot.
Electrical problem or valve? since the valve produces cool for less than a minute its not completely stuck.

Ill call a tech monday if I cant get it working myself before then.

Re: Reversing Valve Clicks


I think i fixed it? I disconnected the defrost thermostat and disconnected the rv solenoid. reconnected the rv and it switched over to cool and stayed. Then I reconnected the defrost thermostat. Ill keep my eye on it to make sure it doesnt freeze over?
