Heat Pump 03 Reversing valve

Now lets take a look at the reversing valve!
How does a reversing valve work?
What does the inside of a reversing valve look like?
What causes them to fail?
What does cooling activated mean?
What does heating activated mean?
We will not be doing any diagnosing or replacing in this video but we will in future videos!

    I used your magnet method to find where my valve was located. It was right in the middle and stuck. A manual I found suggested applying a high-power magnet to pull the valve to one side or the other. It did not move anything, but it must have loosened it a bit. When I turned the system on with the fridge magnet still attached, I watched it slide to one side. My system is working now. Thank you very much for your video.

    Most Asian mfg build their HP with reversing valves active heat configuration. In North America the convention is to do the contrary, reversing valve active cool. The rationale behind this is that is more critical to have heat in winter than ac in summer. At one point this was a requirement but It appears that with the influx of imported equipment some of the traditional NA design conventions are changing.

    I had a faulty reversing valve on a 3T 17 year old R22 Rheem unit. It was stuck in heating mode - summer time in Georgia! The solenoid would click when I cycled power to it. The valve would not change. The replacement part was not available and I recommended changing the entire system due to the cost and the age. To get the owner by, I crimped the end tubing, vented the end to get it into cooling mode, used a pair of Vise-Grip pliers to lock the slide in place and then sealed the tubing. It ran without any problems. This was the only time that I have had one fail. I had considered cutting the reversing valve out and making it a straight AC - the cost would have been high due to the R22

In the video where you’re demonstrating a real valve functioning the sliding piston is horizontal. Never mind, you covered it at the end of the video quite clearly.

    The EPA 608 is the only certification. Schools can give you a certificate of attendance, and some can give a diploma but it does not mean much unless you get an associates from a community college. You have to be careful, a lot of for profit schools are saddling people with debt but they give the exact same EPA 608 certification.
