To Next PageTo Next PageWhat causes short cycling of the compressor in EcoNet R-410A?
Short cycling of the compressor in an EcoNet Heat Pump can be caused by a faulty pressure control (replace the pressure control) or loose wiring (check unit wiring).
What causes high superheat in my EcoNet R-410A Heat Pump?
High superheat (greater than 15°F [-9°C] at coil) in your EcoNet Heat Pump can be caused by low charge, so check the system charge.
What causes high line voltage in my EcoNet R-410A?
High line voltage in your EcoNet Heat Pump is caused by a power company problem, which needs to be corrected.
What can cause low line voltage in my EcoNet Heat Pump?
Low line voltage in your EcoNet Heat Pump can be caused by loose wire connections, so check the wiring. It could also be due to a power company problem or transformer issue, which needs to be corrected before further diagnosis. Additionally, undersized wire feeding the unit can cause this, requiring correction and complete diagnosis.
What causes gurgling or pulsing noise at the expansion device or liquid line in my EcoNet Heat Pump?
A gurgling or pulsing noise at the expansion device or liquid line in your EcoNet Heat Pump is caused by air or noncondensibles in the system. To fix this, recover the refrigerant and then evacuate and recharge the system.
Why does my EcoNet Heat Pump have high vapor pressure?
High vapor pressure in your EcoNet Heat Pump can be due to an excessive load, so recheck the load calculation. It can also be caused by a defective compressor, which would require replacement.
Why does my EcoNet R-410A Heat Pump have low vapor, a cool compressor, and an iced indoor coil?
Low vapor, a cool compressor, and an iced indoor coil in your EcoNet Heat Pump can be due to low indoor airflow. Increase the blower speed or reduce restrictions and replace the air filter. It could also be due to operating below 55°F outdoors, so recover the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge, and replace the filter drier.
What causes fluctuating head and vapor pressures in my EcoNet R-410A Heat Pump?
Fluctuating head and vapor pressures in your EcoNet Heat Pump can be caused by EXV hunting, so check the thermistor to vapor line connection and the air distribution on the coil. Air or noncondensibles in the system can also cause this issue, so recover the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge the system.
What causes low head and high vapor pressures in my EcoNet R-410A Heat Pump?
Low head and high vapor pressures in your EcoNet Heat Pump can occur if the EXV is in bypass mode, so verify the thermostat connections at the EXV control. Another cause could be a bad compressor, which would require replacement.
Why is my EcoNet R-410A Heat Pump unit not running?
Your EcoNet Heat Pump might not be running due to several reasons. It could be due to a power outage or a loose electrical connection, so check the voltage at the line voltage connections. The thermostat might be out of calibration, so try resetting the power. The unit may be in active compressor protection lockout mode, in which case you should check the control board diagnostic codes. Other potential causes include a defective control board, blown fuses, a tripped breaker, an open high-pressure control, or miswiring of communications.
