Just moved in and have a Rheem Heat Pump. In heat mode the fan runs constantly and after a little while the reset button on the condenser trips. I reset the condenser unit by pushing the red reset button and after a while it trips again. I suspect a dirty inside coil check it. It is very dirty where you can't get to it. Slide coil out and clean it from underneath. Very difficult. Finished start it up and it runs through it cycle a couple times and I go to bed. Wake up the condenser has tripped again. Plan to check pressures after work. Didn't check them earlier because of the dirty coil whick will skew the pressure readings. I work on air conditioners don't know much about heat pumps in heat mode. Anyone have suggestions to what is tripping the reset button on the condensing unit. It is a split unit and the condenser fans and compressor run after it is reset. I don't know the history on the unit. I get heating from 70 degrees in to 94 degrees out with the heat pump while it is working.
