      Ronald HallAug 8, 2025
      If your Airwell Heat Pump unit isn't responding to the remote control, the remote control message may not be reaching the indoor unit. First, check the remote control batteries. If the batteries are fine, inspect the display and display wiring. If those are OK, replace the display PCB. If the unit still doesn't respond, replace the controller.

    Why is the indoor fan of my Airwell Heat Pump not starting?
    • A
      Ann NewtonAug 17, 2025
      If the indoor fan of your Airwell Heat Pump doesn't start, but the louvers are open and the green LED is lit, there could be a few reasons: * If the unit is in heat mode, the coil might not be warm yet. Try changing to cool mode to test. * There might be a problem with the PCB or capacitor. Switch to high speed and check if the power supply to the motor is higher than 130VAC (for triack controlled motor) or higher than 220VAC for fixed speed motors. If it is, replace the capacitor. If not, replace the controller.
