Replace
DXM2 or AXM
No
Unit runs but
does not satisfy
Yes Yes
The unit is running.
However, there is
a load issue. The
home is losing or
gaining more than
the capacity of the
heat pump.
If water ow and airow are good,
then verify refrigerant charge.
Calculate superheat and subcooling.

The unit runs
but auxiliary
heat is not
working
Yes
Is the thermostat
calling for
auxiliary heat or
emergency heat?
Verify that
conguration is set
to auxiliary heat in
thermostat. See
section 2.2.2 on
page 55.
No
Does unit have
197-254V at
auxiliary heat
strip?
Turn breaker
on in panel or
in auxiliary heat
control
B-C
No
Yes Yes
Replace
wire harness
No
Does the heat
strip control
board have the
same 24 VDC as
the DXM2?
Yes
Replace heat
strap board
Yes
Verify the Water Side
Performance
HE = Heat Extraction in
BTUs (Heating)
HR = Heat Rejection in
BTUs (Cooling)
Calculate using the formula
found on A-G.
Check with performance
data. Is unit within 10%?
A-G
Verify load using a
manual J program.
You may also need to
perform a blower door
test for true inltration
and thermal imaging
for locating heat loss.
Also consider a duct
blast to verify that
air is being delivered
properly.
Yes
Adjust charge if needed to proper
superheat and subcooling ranges.
No
No
Then check for proper TXV operation
before adding or removing charge.
A-Y
Does DXM2 or
AXM (splits) have
24 VDC at EH1
and/or EH2?
