What to do if the Bard PH11242 compressor contactor does not energize in cooling or heating?
- C
  Cassandra MedinaAug 11, 2025
  If the compressor contactor isn't energizing, it could be due to several reasons. First, examine the control circuit wiring by checking for an 'R' connection at the unit and ensuring there's 24V between 'R-C'. Another reason may be compressor lockout. Check for 24V between 'L1-Con' on the heat pump control and also check across the high-pressure switch. It could also be due to compressors short cycle protection, so check for 24V between 'CC-C' and 'Y-Con' on the heat pump control. The contactor itself could be defective, in which case you should check for an open or shorted coil winding. If all else fails, the heat pump control might be defective, but check all other potential causes first.

What to do if the Bard Heat Pump outdoor fan motor does not run during cooling or heating?

  If the outdoor fan motor isn't running (except during defrost), there are a few potential causes. The motor itself might be defective; check for an open or shorted motor winding. The motor capacitor could also be defective, so check its rating and look for any opens or shorts. Finally, the heat pump control might be the issue, so check across the fan relay on the heat pump control (Com-NC).

Why won't my Bard PH11242 Heat Pump go into defrost (heating only)?
- A
  Amber ValentineAug 23, 2025
  If your unit isn't going into defrost, the temperature sensor or heat pump control might be defective. Try disconnecting the temperature sensor from the board and use a jumper across the speedup and sen jump terminals. This should initiate a defrost cycle within one minute.

Why is my Bard PH11242 Heat Pump not coming out of defrost (heating only)?
- A

  If the unit remains in defrost, the temperature sensor or heat pump control could be the problem. Try using a jumper across the speedup terminals. This should cause the unit to exit defrost mode within one minute.

What to do if the Bard PH11242 Heat Pump reversing valve does not energize in heating only?
- D
  Daniel RamirezSep 4, 2025
  If the reversing valve isn't energizing during heating, it could be due to a defective reversing valve solenoid coil. Check the coil for opens or shorts. Another possibility is a defective heat pump control. Check for 24V between 'RV-C' and 'B-C'.
