Why is my Bosch QV causing high humidity?
- R
  Ryan ReynoldsAug 17, 2025
  If your Bosch Heat Pump exhibits high humidity, several factors could be responsible. A fan speed setting that's too high can contribute, so consult the blower performance table and reduce the fan speed if possible. Low refrigerant levels can also cause this issue, requiring a check of refrigerant pressures with a gauge set. An oversized unit or a poorly located thermostat (e.g., near a supply air duct) might also be the culprit. Evaluate unit performance against building load calculations and relocate the thermostat if necessary.

Why is my Bosch Heat Pump blowing warm air when cooling or cool air when heating?

  If your Bosch Heat Pump is producing excessively warm supply air in cooling mode or excessively cool air in heating mode, there could be several reasons. The fan speed setting might be too high, so consult the blower performance table and reduce the fan speed if possible. The inlet water temperature may be out of range, requiring a check of the unit capacity versus the water temperature. Leaky ductwork could also be a factor, so inspect the ductwork for leaks. Finally, low refrigerant levels can cause this issue, so check the refrigerant pressures with a gauge set.

How to fix a Bosch QV Heat Pump that is not shifting into cooling and heating?
- Y

  If your Bosch Heat Pump isn't shifting into cooling or heating mode, a faulty solenoid could be the cause. Verify that the reversing valve solenoid is receiving 24 VAC. A miswired or faulty thermostat could also be the issue; ensure the reversing valve thermostat wire is connected to the “O” terminal of the thermostat. Lastly, check that the wires from the thermostat to the unit and from the electrical box to the reversing valve are securely connected, as a loose wire on the “O” terminal can also prevent proper shifting.

Why aren't the compressor and fan operating on my Bosch Heat Pump?

  If your Bosch Heat Pump's compressor and fan aren't operating, start by checking the thermostat and its wiring for any issues, including ensuring 24 VAC between "Y" and "C" and "G" and "C" at the unit terminal block. Also, verify that the supply voltage to the unit is within the range specified on the unit data plate. A faulty control transformer could also be the cause, so check for 24 VAC between "R" and "C" on the unit terminal block. For 75 and 100 VA transformers, verify that the transformer circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Before replacing the transformer, inspect the low voltage circuit for overload conditions or short circuits.

Why is my Bosch QV Heat Pump blowing extremely hot or cold air?
- A
  aliciawhiteSep 4, 2025
  If your Bosch Heat Pump is producing excessively cold supply air during cooling or excessively hot air during heating, a dirty filter could be the culprit; try replacing it. The fan speed might also be too low, so consult the blower performance table and increase the fan speed if possible. Additionally, excessive duct pressure drop could be contributing to the issue; consult the blower performance table and increase the fan speed if possible to compensate.

What to do if the fan is not working on my Bosch QV Heat Pump with a constant airflow motor?
- R
  Robert MullinsSep 8, 2025
  If the constant airflow motor in your Bosch Heat Pump isn't operating, first check for 24 VAC between "G" and "C" to ensure a fan operation signal. Also, check all wiring connections. Loose wiring at the motor and control box can also cause this issue, so ensure all connections are secure and that power and control harnesses are properly connected. If the wiring is intact, the motor itself might be faulty. Check the supply voltage to the motor and ensure all motor wires are secure. To test the motor, move the "TEST" DIP switch to "ON" and the other switches to "OFF" on the "ADJUST" switch block on the interface board; the motor should run at 70% torque when "G" is called. With power off, spin the motor shaft; noise, resistance, or uneven motion can indicate motor failure.
