A good heat pump turns the blower off basically and runs the unit in AC mode a bit for defrosting, but it’s the reversing valve that usually sticks...bad solenoid usually and most are built in. They have to be removed by a a pro and then silver soldering the new one back in-line by a pro that can recover and filter the freon, pull the vacuum on the system and then recharge the lines with the correct amount (lbs) of refrigerant.
Ok. I have no idea what you are saying Emmett, but I went and bought a kerosene heater just like the one pictured. Bought some kerosene and it’s soaking as I write.
What gets me is that I just paid hundreds of dollars to have this thing serviced in November, and one of those yearly checks done. Grrrr.
It stopped cooling in Aug and I spent many HOT days then too before i got the guy to do a temp fix (until Nov)
This never happened when I was married. Never a lick of maintanence then either. Oh noooo. The thing had to wait until I’m on my own and limited in resources.
The ice is INCHES thick.
I might as well put off the service call.
I can’t afford this heater and a service call, but I will get by now.
