    How to troubleshoot a Bosch LV036 with no compressor operation but running fan, possibly due to blocked return air?
    • S
      Sherri PhillipsSep 7, 2025
      If your Bosch Heat Pump's compressor isn't running but the fan is, it could be due to a condensate fault caused by blocked return air. Check the condensate pan for a high water level. Also, check the air filter and return air duct work for blockage, and ensure there is adequate space between the return air opening and any obstructions.

      Rhonda BartonAug 22, 2025
      If your Bosch Heat Pump isn't shifting into cooling mode, check that the reversing valve solenoid is receiving 24 VAC. If it is, check the resistance of the solenoid; an open circuit may indicate a burned out solenoid. Also, check that the reversing valve thermostat wire is connected to the 'O' terminal of the thermostat and check for a contact closure between 'O' and 'R'. Finally, check that the wires from the thermostat to the unit are securely connected and that the wires from the electrical box to the reversing valve are connected.

    How to troubleshoot a Bosch LV036 Heat Pump with no compressor operation but running fan, possibly due to a bad thermostat connection?
    • D
      Donna EllisonSep 3, 2025
      If the compressor of your Bosch Heat Pump is not working, but the fan is running, it might be due to a brown-out fault caused by a bad thermostat connection. Check that the thermostat wiring is of the proper gauge and length, is undamaged, and that all connections at the thermostat and heat pump are secure.
