What to do if my Heat Controller RAH-183G Heat Pump unit will not run?
If your Heat Controller Heat Pump unit isn't running, try the following: First, push the reset button on the power cord. Next, set the Fan Control to the ON position. Ensure the plug is firmly seated in the outlet. Finally, check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
Why is my Heat Controller Heat Pump providing little or no cooling or heating even when the fan and compressor are running?
There could be several reasons why your Heat Controller Heat Pump is providing little to no cooling or heating, even with the fan and compressor running. One potential cause is an open fresh air/exhaust damper; make sure to set the vent to CLOSED. Another reason could be obstructed airflow, either indoors or outdoors; remove any obstructions from the indoor grille or outdoor louvers. Also, check the air filters, as dirty filters can restrict airflow; clean or replace them as needed. Finally, the unit might be undersized for the application. In this case, check with your dealer to determine the proper capacity unit for your needs.
How to fix a noisy Heat Controller RAH-183G?
A noisy Heat Controller Heat Pump can be caused by a few things. First, check for any loose parts and tighten them. If the building construction is weak, provide additional support for the unit. If water is hitting the fan blade, you can stop the noise by removing the drain plug or adding a condensate drain cup. Lastly, it's possible the unit is oversized for the application; check with your dealer to determine the proper capacity unit.
What to do if my Heat Controller Heat Pump has little or no cooling or heating and only the fan runs?

Why is there frost on the indoor coil of my Heat Controller RAH-183G Heat Pump?
Frost on the indoor coil of your Heat Controller Heat Pump can be due to a dirty air filter or normal low outdoor temperatures.

You can also reduce frost by turning the Temperature Control to a warmer setting, which reduces the occurrence and duration of frost.
Why does my Heat Controller RAH-183G Heat Pump have odors when cooling?
Odors during cooling with your Heat Controller Heat Pump are often caused by mold, mildew, or algae formation on wet surfaces.
