How to test Defrost Control on Trane Heat Pump
Just going over where the defrost components are on a Trane heat pump. Also how to do a simple jumper test on the defrost control board to see if its working correctly. I also show the diagnostic paperwork that comes with the Trane heat pump.

Glad it helped
Before I condemn the defrost board part number Trane CNT 02941. Split unit heat pump. Two defrost temp. sensors (ambient and coil). Defrost is auto "demand". Condenser ices-up. I short out force-defrost pins, unit enters defrost mode, OD fan cuts out, but ONLY 5VAC to reversing valve. Should be 24VAC in order to switch-over refrigerant direction. Reversing valve coil Ohm checks good. Both sets of sensor pins on defrost board show proper voltage at 5.5VDC. Both outdoor temp. sensors ohm out good relative to outdoor ambient temp. LED flashing normal. I had to melt the ice by shorting out force-defrost pins and temporarily jumpering R-O wires at condenser which sends 24VAC directly through defrost board to activate reversing valve. So, reversing valve is not automatically receiving proper voltage during defrost cycle. Any suggestions for other tests prior to condemning defrost board? Thanks.
Have u ever skipped the defrost board wiring and go two wire to indoor unit with only y and c ? Cuz I have the regular gas furnace no two stage but the outside unit has a defrost board in it
Every board ive seen are blinking.. some work some dont.. but that damn light.. the hell..

Mine was blinking steady on and off, which I believe is a call for cooling? The tech said it needed replacement to fix heat mode and temporarily jumpered for cooling to work. Does that sound correct?
