    Rheem defrost board
    I am working on a rheem heat pump. I have replaced the board and the defrost sensor, I can jump the test pins an the unit goes into defrost and jumps right back out.. (I did this 3 days ago when it was 65 degrees outside.) You would think that the unit is working correctly. BUT, it is sitting here with 2 inches of ice on the entire condensing coil. The temperature is 38 today.

    Not notorious but not unheard of either. No better or worse than anybody else's boards.
    I suggest you defrost manually & check the charge.
