York Heat Pump Troubleshooting

If you're looking for help fixing your York Heat Pump, look no further! Our comprehensive York Heat Pump Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Heat Pump is Not Cooling 
Thermostat problem - You have to check to see that the thermostat is set to cool mode. If the thermostat is set to cool correctly, then there may be a problem with the thermostat not reading the temperature correctly or an electrical problem stops the element from communicating the system. If you are unable to identify the cause or fix it, call a professional. 

Broken reversing valve - If your unit is running, but hot is coming from vents, there could be a problem with your reversing valve. Reversing valve reverses the refrigerant and allows it to act as both a heater and an air conditioner. If this valve is defective, it needs to be replaced. You can take the help of a technician for replacing this valve. 

Components are dirty - If the air coming out of your vents is lukewarm, that is a sign that your components are dirty. Go outside and clean off the heat pump so it's free of any debris and check the air filter to see if it needs to be changed. 

Refrigerant charge is low - Again you need to inspect the refrigerant levels. If they are too low or if there is any leak, your system will unable to cool your house. Fix leaks if there are any existed and increase the levels.

Thermostat problems 
First of all, you should check that your thermostat has set at the right modes. If every setting is correct, the problem could be a miscalibration. Due to this miscalibration, your thermostat read the temperatures incorrectly, Although, there may be an electrical problem that stops the thermostat from communicating with the heat pump. In these cases, you need to contact a professional for servicing. 

Power Issues 
Sometimes, a tripped circuit breaker is caused for this problem. Make sure all the breakers are in the proper positions. If the circuit breaker is tripped, you have to reset it to avoid electrical issues. Also, check for other electrical issues. If you have a minimum knowledge of electrical components repairing, then you can fix the problem immediately. If not, contact an electrician or a professional. 

Defective starter capacitor 
Once listen to your heat pump unit. If you hear a faint clicking noise, then consider that your system is supposed to be turning on and the problem is likely with the starter capacitor. A starter capacitor is used to transmit the electrical charge that turns on the motors. So, you have to check for the starter capacitor is broken. If so, you need to replace it. 

Broken reversing valve 
As the name indicates, the reverse valve allows the unit to work as both an air conditioner as well as a heater by reversing the refrigerant direction. If you start the heat pump when you need cool air, but it produces heat, then it is likely caused by this valve. If it is damaged.

Heat Pump Running Constantly 
York heat pumps are designed to operate much more gradually than a furnace. If the weather is cold, then there may be a possibility of your system can run near constantly without being an issue. 

Check the thermostat. Make sure it is set correctly. If there is miscalibration with your thermostat or wiring issue, you can get this type of problem. 

See if the compressor contractor is broken. The compressor contactor will able to control how much power goes to the heat pump system. So, your unit runs constantly all the time when the compressor contractor is broken. You need to be done the replacement process to fix this issue. 

System is blocked 
The heat pump pulls the heat from the air outside to your house. When the airflow is blocked by ice, snow, leaves, or any other type of debris. it's hard for your heat pump to do the job perfectly. If anything is blocked in the system, you have to clean the heat pump and clear away any debris that may be blocking the airflow way. 

Dirty air filter 
Air filters are used to catch dirt and debris in the system. When too much dust or dirt builds up on the filter, it may block airflow to the compressor. The compressor heats the air in the system. Check the air filter and replace it with a new one if it is dirty. 

The refrigerant charge is low 
If the refrigerant levels are too low, likely from a leak, your York heat pump system will struggle to bring enough heat indoors for heating your room. Hence, you have to check the refrigerant levels. If the levels are too low, the heat pumps need to be recharged.

I had a York Affinity 8 series installed in 2011 in southern California (i.e. it doesn’t get heavy use). I had the system maintained annually by professionals. In year 4 the system failed to kick on. It was identified that 3 different parts had failed simultaneously. While the parts were covered under the warranty, labor to replace the parts cost 25% of the original unit price! GASP! I called York several times to see if they’d do anything to offset such a high cost as this points to poor quality and potential for future problem, but they repeatedly declined. Buyer Beware!

I live in Kentucky, and had a York air-handler and heat-pump installed at our home in January 2017. I used a “family owed with family values” company to install this air-handler and heat-pump. We spent around $8,000.00 on the install and upgrades from our old “oil furnace” to this new system.. We have had some very cold weather this year, and we have had SEVERAL issues with this new system. In the past two months alone I have had a service tech at my home 6 times, because the system is just not working! The heat-pump won’t run I show on aux heat, but it’s blowing cold air. After having service techs in and out of the house the past few months. I have heard so many stories from these techs about what the issues are it’s becoming ridiculous. One guy was actually here for two hours to tell me there a “wire had come loose” REALLY?? NO IT DIDN’T! Two days after the guy “put the wire back” cam. I had to have someone else come because guess what… you got it the system wasn’t working! The next person came(who by the way is the only person I think who knows anything at all and he is just a service tech they better keep ahold of that one!) told me that the heating elements were completely burned up all three of them, and that they were not working, and probably had not worked in a few days! This “part” was replaced on 3/27/18. Then on 4/16/18 the system again has stopped working! I called the service company on the Sunday 4/16/18 it was 34 degrees outside by the way, and the response I received from them and there 24 hour emergency call center was to turn on my emergency heat! YES my emergency heat that cost a small fortune to run! After a short argument with the owner he then advised me that they would NOT come and fix the furnace because of the argument over the phone! The reason for the “argument” was because when I spoke to the owner of the shop he started telling me that they have NOT been to my home a-lot! (I guess 6 times is not a lot in 2 months it is to me, but I guess we have different standards!) He then told me that I had gone a “good year” before they ever had to come to my house! (which by the way is completely incorrect!) Seriously! I am not sure what kind of companies I am dealing with but as for what I can tell right now the YORK system and the company I picked to do my work are both “failing” I would never recommend this SYSTEM nor the company I had install this system! (which I would not name on this site as I feel it’s not professional!) Has anyone heard of any recalls on an electric system what is this about a lawsuit, is that just for the gas systems? I am going to try and contact York personally to address my issues with the system to see if they have anyone they recommend to come out, and take a look.. I am sure this will fall on “deaf ears”, but I have to do something I am completely frustrated with all of this! I am interested in this “lawsuit” and the details to see if this is something that may be going on with my system as well.

I have York heat pump. it lasted 8 years . According to my York qualified repair person, the coil rotted away. I looked at the rotted area , must rust all around the pipes. I we=as informed that York and others have a class action suit , but in the meantime, I’m faced with a very large amount to pay. App. $3-6000 depending on the overall condition. If someone knows how the law suit is moving forward please respond Thanks

I bought this house less than 5 years ago. York Split System 2.5 Ton Heat Pump was 2 years old when I bought the house. In less than 5 years, 2 motors, filter dryer repaired, 5 times called for Freon, after 5th time they found the leak…Condenser Coil. Been waiting 4 weeks for “delay in parts” without air conditioning…in FLORIDA and they cannot tell me when they will receive them. Have had 4 different technicians, all of which told me getting parts for YORK is not easy. Who has time for this!!!

I installed a York Affinity heat pump at my cottage, and it has not worked
I installed a York Affinity heat pump at my cottage, and it has not worked at all in the two years since it was installed. Virtually every part has been replaced and my power bill was over $9000 year to year. Keep in mind that the cottage is not occupied during the winter and the temperature is kept at 50°F. The consumer relations support center has been a useless waste of time and has only served to increase my frustration and anger as a result of having this piece of absolute junk installed at my house. DO NOT buy a system from this company. I cannot stress enough how poorly my system has preformed at my cottage.
