<p>[QUOTE="reeferwrencher, post: 12139707, member: 221666"]That's a strange problem but it seems like the 3 way valve is stuck in heat.Usually that happens after it comes out of heat/defrost cycle.After it restarts check if the pipe off the 3 way valve that runs into the back wall is getting hot if it is try tapping the valve with a hammer and see it it shifts to cool mode,if so the valve needs to be rebuilt.It could also be a problem with the pilot solenoid but check the 3 way valve first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
