Bryant QUANTUM PLUS 650A Heat Pump Troubleshooting
Problem | Possible Cause |
---|
Unit does not operate immediately after being restarted. | Unit control initiates a 3 minute delay at the end of each cycle to protect the compressor from damage. |
A whoosh or gurgling noise can be heard at the indoor unit. | Sometimes, the refrigerant can be heard in the indoor coil when the outdoor unit starts or stops operation. This is not a malfunction. |
Mist is coming out of the indoor unit during cooling operation. | This sometimes happens when the indoor temperature and humidity are very high and the air is being cooled quickly. The mist will disappear as the indoor temperature and humidity are lowered. |
A creaking or popping noise can be heard when the unit starts or stops. | The plastic components of the indoor units sometimes expand and contract when they are heated and cooled. |
Unit is not operating. | Are the TIMER ON and TIMER OFF features being used incorrectly? |
| Is power disconnected or has circuit breaker tripped. |
| Is power shut down? |
System is not cooling (or heating) efficiently. | Is temperature setting correct? |
| Are either the air inlet or air outlet blocked on the outdoor or indoor unit? |
| Is filter dirty? |
| Is fan at low speed? |
| Are windows and doors properly shut? |
Wireless remote is not working. | Is remote in direct line of sight with indoor unit infrared receiver? Has the remote been damaged? |
| Remove remote control batteries for 30 seconds, then reinsert them. Replace batteries, if necessary. |
Water is leaking from indoor unit. | Indoor humidity level is very high and water is being blown from indoor coil. This will stop as humidity level is reduced. |
Water is leaking from condensate line at indoor unit. | Check condensate line outside to make sure it is not obstructed. |
| Check condensate line to make sure it has not been disconnected from indoor unit. |
Water is leaking from the outdoor unit. | During operation in high humidity areas, condensate will form on cold outdoor refrigerant pipes. |
| When heat pump is operating in defrost mode, ice will thaw from around outdoor coil and water will flow from the unit. |
Clicking noise heard inside. | Sometimes, the sound of the outdoor unit fan or compressor relay can be transmitted in a way that makes it seem to be coming from the indoor unit. |
Indoor fan is not working. | Heat pump units - In HEAT mode, a timed delay keeps indoor fan off for two minutes to prevent unheated air from being circulated by the indoor fan. |
| Heat pump units - In HEAT mode, cold outdoor temperatures and high humidity cause frost to accumulate on the outdoor unit. When this happens, the unit will enter a defrost cycle. The indoor fan is off during the 3 - 12 minute cycle. |
| In DRY mode, indoor fan operation may be stopped to avoid delivery of moist air to the room. Do not adjust temperature setting. |
