My heat pump is 2 years old. When the compressor tries to come on, it just grinds for a few seconds. Then it stops for a bit. Then tries again. Then stops. Then tries again. Etc. When it tries, the lits dim in the house a bit. The contactors are good. The capacitor APPEARS to be good. Sometimes the compressor will come on after a few tries. Sometimes it may be a few hours. Sometimes it never does come on. I know this should be under warranty, but getting someone out to fix it under warranty has proven difficult. Are there any steps anyone would recommend that I could try to troubleshooting it myself? I have read on the Web where the board in this model is actually a recall, but would that cause stuff like this? Any help that anyone could offer would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
try one of these sounds like your comprsser is locke or near locked this could be a tempory fix however probaly need to replace compressor 2 years old should be under warrenty but there may be a labor charge
