Not a HVAC Question?

Question

My question is about my geothermal 'water funace' MN# WXS031A101S..SN # FA6255..when I turn the T-stat from off to cool, the compressor runs for a few seconds, then shuts off..and the 'emerg. heat light' comes on..and I get no cooling..I think the 'reversing valve' is stuck in the heat mode..is there a way around the reversing valve, without harm to the system? Thanks for your help, Ted

Mr Mather, how do I find out if this unit will allow me to do that ?

Accepted Answer

Try jumpering 24 volts to the valve, first see if its energized already, then if it is not try it
