Heat Pump will not shut off
I have a Bryant heat pump that was used very little over the winter. When I went to turn on the air conditioning a few days ago, the outdoor unit would not come on, but the indoor fan and thermostat appeared to be working fine.
I checked the contactor and it was not pulling in, when I pushed it in, the unit kicked on, but would not shut off when I turned it off at the thermostat. I had to cut the power to turn it off as to not damage the compressor.
I replaced the contactor with an identical contactor from the Bryant dealer. It was definitely bad. When I turned the power back on to the outdoor unit, it would not shut off, even when the contactor is not pulled in and the thermostat is off. I had to cut the power again.
I am 100% sure that I replced the wires correctly on the new contactor. What is the next logical thing to check?
Thanks,
Scott:confused:
