Outside temp too low, so outside thermostat and it's settings will not allow the heat pump to work. But insist on the ausilary heat to work instead. Heat pumps usually do not produce enough heat when below 40F outside temp. If you have Gas heat, it may be more economical than the heat pump below 40F. If electric auxilarry heat, it may compete at 32F. Talk to your dealer, installer, or manufacture.

    Ok...I do live in Indiana...and its been cold! This unit is in my all seasons room...and I've had it for 5 years...I just don't ever remember the compressor NEVER kicking in. However, no error codes or funny noises. So, I'll wait for spring and see?! I haven't found anyone in my area who will work on...so, this is why I posted. I sure appreciate your time!

Ac works fine when fan is on low but fan cuts off after a couple of minutes on high

Bad fan motor. Multi-speed motors have a set of windings for each speed. Your high speed is bad so the only solution is to replace the complete motor. When motors are going bad they will over heat and kick out on the heat safety. As it cools back down it will start again for a short time again until it gets hot again.

Filled Coolant reservior and radiator Drove trailblazer at highway speed no cooling problem. When slowed down in traffic temperature increased to about 220 and higher, could hear coolant bubbling in...

If there is bubbles occurring even inside the top part of the radiator (where you have the coolant put in), you may have a leak on your head gasket. You may be loosing coolant through the engine.

Hello, I have a duo therm ac unit, the fan works fine in all the Fan only speeds, but when the ac is selected, the compressor comes on and the fan drops down to less than half speed. you can hear the fan...

Check incoming voltage circuit and wiring for proper gauge wire etc, and have compressor start capacitor tested, or replaced. I'm curious as to why circuit breaker didn't trip in panel when compressor causing so much current draw, that's reason for checking wiring etc to AC circuit.

Have an intertherm split system. Outside condenser compressor is starting, can hear freon flowing, but fan motor will not kick in. Gets hot then kicks breaker. Have replaced capacitor with factory part.

If that system is gas heat then you have 2 fan speeds Lo speed for heat and when ac is called for the motor speed shifts to hi with the use of a fan relay.
Some various fan relays in use today. themobilian_2285.jpgthemobilian_2286.jpg

AC unit not kicking on...

You need a "Y" terminal. "Y" is pretty standard on every heat pump. It is the wire that will energize the compressor contactor at the outdoor unit, allowing the compressor and condensor fan to run.

Likely a bad motor, when this occurs verify the board is sending voltage to the motor.
