Problem
Burning Odor at the
Start of Heating
Operation
CALL SVC
Indicator Light
The Air is Not Always
Cool or Hot During
Operation
The Air Does Not Feel
Warm Enough During
Heating Operation
Possible Causes
Dust is on the surface of
the heating element
The compressor
may have failed
The heat pump is not
producing hot air
The fan switch may be set
at continuous fan (down)
The heat pump alone
produces air that feels
cooler than desired
What to Do
• This can cause a "burning" odor at the
beginning of the heating operation. This
odor should quickly fade.
• Move the control to STOP and then
restart the unit. If the light reappears
within 30 minutes, call for service as
soon as possible.
• This is normal. The heat pump will
produce warm air but not as hot as air
produced when the higher-cost electric
heat is used.
• This causes the fan to blow room
temperature air even when the
compressor or heater cycles off.
The continuous air movement provides
better overall temperature control.
• Use the Boost Heat Option to warm the
air. This adds electric heat to the heat
pump when the outside temperature is
between 25 F. and 45 F.
• Use the Electric Heat Option. This turns
off the heat pump and warms with
electric heat only.
NOTE: Use of either of the above options
will result in increased energy
consumption.
