SOURCE: Ruud heat pump outside unit trips circuit breaker

Check your wiring between the contactor and compressor for a short to ground, or check the compressor windings for short to ground.
With the Tstat off, the contactor should be open so the only way for the compressor to be trying to do anything is if the 110 volts from the unbroken side are traveling through the compressor to ground. Since 110v is not enough to run it, the overload is kicking it out, cooling off, and repeating the cycle. When you kick on the Tstat, the contactor is supplying voltage directly to ground without going through the resistence of the compressor windings and kicking the breaker.
Post back and let me know what you find.

SOURCE: Temperature varies 13 degrees around setpoint on aux heat

I don't have the book for this particular unit but, check the sequencers that control the electric heat mode, as the regulator heat pump works good. The part may have a time or temperature delay that is too long for you. Also if it has a remote thermostat, check the heat anticipate setting. You will have to check the installation manuel, but its usually .6 to .8, but I don't think that is the problem.

Maybe, the compressor isn't starting? I'd take it back to where you purchased it.

The unit is on Heat, Fan Auto it's 36 degrees outside, Thermostate set on 73 Actual temp inside 70. Unit runs continuously. How can I get more heat. I tried Emergency heat and that doesn't help.

Have you cleaned the air return filters ? Wash them, don't vacuum or brush them. It damages the filter screen. Sometimes a thermostat will be out by a few degrees. If the filters are clean, try turning the temp down a bit to 65 degrees and see if the air con shuts down. ( If your room temp is showing 70, it should switch off the machine) If it doesn't turn off, keep reducing the temp by 5 degrees at a time and wait a few minutes each movement to see if and when it shuts down. If the machine keeps running, I would suggest your thermostat is shot and you will need a new one.

Hayward heatpro running but not heating. The "run" light is yellow but it should be green

i have found nothing in any of my heater manuals to account for the color of the light. in every instance, the light is either lit or not. the color does not change.
as for the not heating, if the outside temperature is less than 60 degrees, your heat pump will not work well. as heat pumps do not heat water very efficiently, there may not be a noticeable difference in water temp. the best way is to measure the temperature going into the pump (outside ambient temperature) and the temperature of the air exiting the top of the heater.
if the outside temp is 70 and the air out of the heater is 65, there is a 5 degree temperature applied to the pool water. this can be diminished due to transfer of heat to system

Hi,My remote do not get the good temp in my house. Ex: I set to 80F in heat mode but the thermopump operate slowly and dosn't get hire than 70-72F. The remote see the unit and all. Is the sensor in th

You have a heat pump.
Once the outdoor temperature falls below 36 degrees, heat pumps will sharply lose their ability to heat.
If you are getting a 72 degree indoor temperature when the outdoor temperature is 28-30 degrees, the heat pump is performing up to spec.
On heat pumps, the air coming out of the nearest air vent to the unit should be heated approximately 40 degrees warmer than the air entering the unit.
If you have a 70 degree indoor air temperature, the heat pump should be supplying 110 degree air at the closest air vent to the indoor unit.
Gas heat is a much better heating source where outside temperatures are commonly below 36 degrees.
Even electric furnaces perform better than heat pumps under these conditions.

I am not able to get the unit to change from air conditioning to heat

Unfortunately these units are not user fixable , beyond checking for power and checking battery in remote. You would need to call a pro who is able to get service information and has special digital logic meters to diagnose and repair .

How do i adjust AC temperature variance on a Honeywell TH5220D1003 thermostat

If you are talking about the difference between heating mode and cooling mode and the room setpoint, you can not change it. It comes from the factory with a 3 degree difference. In other words if you raise the heat setpoint until it is within 3 degrees of the cooling setpoint, for every degree you raise the heat setpoint the cooling will raise a degree.
About all you can do is increase the distance between the heat and cooling setpoint. To do this either lower the cooling setpoint to 3 degrees higher than the heat setpoint you want and then increase the cooling setpoint the desired setting. For example heat and cool setpoints are 67 and 70 respectively, and you want 65 and 73. Lower the cooling setpoint to 68 and then raise the cooling setpoint to 73. Now your heating will come on 3 degress lower than 68, the 65 you wanted and cooling will come on at 73. Remember, the thermostat new setpoints will turn on the cooling at 75 and turn back off at 73 and heat will turn on at 63 and turn off at 65.
You can perform the same using the heating setpoint, just have to look at it backwards. If you need to lower the difference I recommend a 8000 series thermostat. They are the most functional thermostat that Honeywell makes, be in mind they are about 3 times more expensive and many of the setting require a well trained tech to interpret and set properly.
Hope this helps.

My a/c unit has a energy saver mode but the machine hasn't turned off at all for the past two days and our apartment doesn't even feel like the temperature it's set to be at which is 65...

I dont know what the temp is outside where you are ... but if you are asking for 65 that is a big request for a window unit. Typically, you can expect to get 20 degrees lower inside than outside ... 65? That is a lot to ask. It will not shut off until it gets to the requested temp.

It sounds like you are low on charge. I think you have a thermostatic expansion valve and you need to check the subcooling, you should have 12 to 15 degrees at 95. At 95 degrees your head should be about 280# for a 12 or 13 SEER unit or higher depending on the effeciency. At 78 to 80 degrees indoor depending on the humidity, that is normal. The valve will open to try to fully feed your indoor coil and it sounds like your head pressure is to low to force enough refrigerant thru the coil.

Can i use the tumble dryer in an unheated outside room

Good day,
No reason you can't use it. No harm to the dryer except.......
Domestic appliances including dryers, and refrigerators were designed to work in an environment comfortable to the inhabitants. I.E. minimum of 65 to 70 degrees.
For example, the dryer takes air in from the rear, and heats it to approx. 140 degrees. No problem if the air is entering at 70 degrees, a rise of 70 degrees.
If the air enters the dryer at 35 degrees, it would have to raise the temperature to 140 degrees, an increase of 105 degrees.
Questionable if it could do that.

The down side would be if you used automatic to dry. The timer runs only when the heat cycles off, and if it doesn't, it would never quit running.
The solution would be to set it on time dry and adjust as needed.
Easy enough to adjust to.
Worth a try. No serious problems other than that continuous running situation.

Thank you for using FixYa

My Vornado TouchStone Vortex heat 500 Heater - temperature

After calling Vornado Corporation, they suggested that the room temperature monitor might be failing as it read 65 degrees no matter where you started the heater. I took the unit back to the store I purchased it from, and we unpacked another unit and found the same problem existed. Therefore, the product is not capable of heating a room properly and I will continue my search for a space heater to control the temperature in my upstairs office which does not have air ducts for heat.

If anyone has recommendations I would be interested in their comments.
Thank you.
