Why does my Carrier Heat Pump compressor operate continuously?

  Several factors can cause your compressor to run non-stop. Check these: * **Dirty air filter:** Replace the filter. * **Undersized unit:** Reduce the load on the unit or consider a larger unit. * **Thermostat setting:** Reset the thermostat to a higher temperature. * **Low refrigerant:** Locate and repair any leaks, then recharge the system. * **Leaking compressor valves:** Replace the compressor. * **Air in the system:** Recover the refrigerant, evacuate the system, and recharge it. * **Dirty or restricted outdoor coil:** Clean the coil or remove any restrictions.

What to do if my Carrier 50TFQ008-012 compressor will not start but outdoor fan runs?

  If the compressor isn't starting but the fan is running, consider the following: * **Wiring issues:** Inspect the compressor circuit for faulty wiring or loose connections; repair or replace as needed. * **Compressor motor issues:** The compressor motor might be burned out, seized, or have an open internal overload; determine the cause and replace the compressor. * **Defective overload:** Determine the cause and replace the defective overload. * **Power supply problem:** If it's a 3-phase system, check if one leg of the power is dead; replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker and determine the cause.

Why is the suction pressure too low on my Carrier 50TFQ008-012?
- W
  William NormanAug 31, 2025
  Low suction pressure can stem from several issues: * **Dirty filter or coil:** Replace a dirty air filter (cooling) or clean a dirty outdoor coil (heating). * **Low refrigerant charge:** Check for leaks, repair, and recharge the system. * **Restricted components:** Remove any restrictions in the metering device or low side. * **Airflow problems:** Increase indoor airflow in cooling mode; check and replace the filter if needed. * **Thermostat setting:** Reset the thermostat if the temperature is too low in the conditioned area. * **Restricted filter drier:** Replace a field-installed filter drier if it's restricted. * **Low ambient temperature:** Install a low-ambient kit if the outdoor temperature is below 25°F.
