What to do if the Friedrich racservmn Air Conditioner valve will not shift from cool to heat?

If the valve on your Friedrich Air Conditioner won't shift from cool to heat, several issues could be the cause. It might be due to no voltage reaching the coil, in which case you should repair the electrical circuit. A defective coil could also be the problem, requiring a coil replacement. Low refrigerant charge is another possibility; repair any leaks and recharge the system. A high pressure differential might also be the reason, so recheck the system. Other potential causes include dirt in a bleeder hole or a piston cup leak. To address this, de-energize the solenoid, raise the head pressure, and then re-energize the solenoid to dislodge the dirt. If this doesn't work, remove the valve and wash it out, checking for air before reinstalling. If there's still no movement, replace the valve...
