Why does my Bosch Greensource CDi Heat Pump have no delay on startup?
If your Bosch Heat Pump operates but has no or short delays on start or restart, the UPM board might be in test mode. To resolve this, change the dip switch setting to Normal.
Why is my Bosch Heat Pump not cooling or heating enough?
There are several potential reasons why your Bosch Heat Pump might not be providing sufficient cooling or heating. It could be due to an undersized unit (in which case, recalculating heating and cooling loads and adding insulation or shading might help), loss of conditioned air through leaks in ductwork or around doors/windows, inadequate airflow (check and replace the filter if dirty), low refrigerant charge, a defective compressor or reversing valve, operating pressures that don't match the unit's pressure/temperature chart, a restricted or defective TXV, or contamination of the refrigerant system with moisture or noncondensables (in which case you need to reclaim refrigerant, replace the filter dryer, evacuate the system, and recharge with the recommended charge).
What to do if my Bosch Greensource CDi compressor isn't working?
If the compressor on your Bosch Heat Pump isn't operating but the fan is running, it could be due to an open compressor overload. Check for supply voltage at the load side of the contactor. For 3-phase models, check the phase rotation and voltage at all 3 phases. Poor wiring connections can also cause this; look for signs of heat on the wiring insulation and ensure that all wiring connections are secure and properly torqued. A burned-out compressor is another possibility; check if the compressor hums when power is applied. If not, check the resistance of the compressor windings using the values shown in the compressor characteristics chart, ensuring the compressor is cool (70° F) when checking the windings.
Why does my Bosch Greensource CDi Heat Pump unit shut off on low pressure control?
If your Bosch Heat Pump shuts off due to low pressure control, it could be caused by several factors. In cooling mode, this may be due to a lack of or inadequate air flow, entering air temperature being too cold, an inoperative blower, a clogged filter, or restrictions in the duct work. In heating mode, it may be due to a lack of or inadequate water flow, entering water temperature being too cold, or a scaled or plugged condenser. Also, the unit could be low on refrigerant, requiring you to check for a refrigerant leak, repair it, evacuate, and recharge with the factory-recommended charge. Finally, check for a defective or improperly calibrated low-pressure switch.
How to troubleshoot a Bosch Heat Pump that won't turn on?
If your Bosch Heat Pump isn't running, first ensure the power supply is on and the disconnect is closed. Check for blown fuses and replace them or reset the circuit breaker, ensuring you use the correct fuses. Verify that the voltage supply meets the minimum specified on the unit's data plate; if it's too low, contact your local power company. Also, check the thermostat settings and wiring, setting the fan to 'ON'.
Why is my Bosch Greensource CDi Heat Pump not heating or cooling sufficiently?
If your Bosch Heat Pump isn't providing enough cooling or heating, start by recalculating the heating and cooling loads of your space; adding insulation and shading might help. Check for leaks in ductwork or ambient air entering through doors and windows. Ensure adequate airflow and proper air distribution, replacing dirty filters if needed. A low refrigerant charge could also be the cause. Check the compressor for defects. Also, compare unit operation pressures to the pressure/temperature chart for the unit. Check TXV for possible restriction or defect. The refrigerant system may be contaminated with moisture or noncondensables. Reclaim refrigerant, replace filter dryer, evacuate the refrigerant system, and recharge with factory recommended charge.
What to do if my Bosch Greensource CDi is short cycling?
If your Bosch Heat Pump is short cycling, several factors could be responsible. The unit might be oversized, requiring a recalculation of heating and cooling loads. The thermostat could be installed near a supply air grill, necessitating relocation, or the heat anticipator may need readjustment. Additionally, check for a defective or improperly calibrated low-pressure switch.
What to do if my Bosch Heat Pump has no flow or low flow?
If your Bosch Heat Pump experiences no flow or low flow, here's what you can check: * Verify the power supply. * Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'ON' position. * Engage the heat pump contactor. * Repair or tighten any broken or loose wires. * Purge air from the piping system. * Remove the pump cartridge and clean it if the pump shaft/impeller is stuck. * Replace the pump if it is defective. * Repair any kinks in the water piping and check for proper line size.
Why isn't my Bosch Greensource CDi switching between heating and cooling?
If your Bosch Heat Pump isn't shifting between cooling and heating modes, a faulty solenoid could be the cause. Check that the reversing valve solenoid is receiving 24 VAC; if it is, check the resistance of the solenoid, as an open circuit may indicate a burned-out solenoid. A miswired or faulty thermostat could also be the problem; ensure that the reversing valve thermostat wire is connected to the "O" terminal of the thermostat. Finally, check for a loose wire on the "O" terminal, ensuring that the wires from the thermostat to the unit are securely connected, as well as the wires from the electrical box to the reversing valve.
How to fix excessively cold air from Bosch Heat Pump in cooling?
If your Bosch Heat Pump is producing excessively cold air during cooling or excessively hot air during heating, it could be due to reduced airflow. Try replacing the filter. The fan speed might be too low, so consult the blower performance table and increase fan speed if possible. Also, excessive duct pressure drop can cause this issue; consult the blower performance table and increase fan speed if possible.
