    Bypass the tstat,, see if each unit runs OK on their own,, one at a time,, sounds like possible bad tstat,, is it a new install ? Or has it been there a while?

    Check the reversing valve it may be stuck or faulty the reversing valve is responsible for changing the directing of the refrigerant when switched into heating /cooling mode it looks like A SOLID PIECE of tubing with 3 smaller tubes coming off from the central body.It requires an electric supply to change the valve

    I don`t think the reversing valve would have anything to do with the oil furnace coming on in heat or cool mode of the thermostat,, did I read the question wrong?

    The reversing valve has nothing to do with this situation. There I voted also.

Heat pump stuck in heat mode [ 4 Answers ]

I have a heat pump that seems to be stuck in heat mode. When you try to turn the a/c on it runs heat. I got the a/c to run by cycling the power a couple of times but after having to use the heat again, it is stuck again. Could this be an electrical problem or is it probably the reversing valve?
