Compressor protection in defrost mode

[RobertDavis9737]

With dual fuel application, When defrost is initiated and the gas furnace is energized,the heat pump is operating without the Condenser fan motor running because it is in defrost mode causing major damage to the compressor?

Hi RobertDavis9737,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community and we're sorry about the delay.

The Nest Thermostat has a Safety Temperature feature. It can protect your home during extremely cold or hot weather. They can help ensure that your pipes won’t freeze or your home won’t overheat even if your thermostat is set to Off. Safety Temperatures are great to help prevent your home from going above or below certain temperatures by turning on heating or cooling when the set limits are reached.

Best regards,

Ryan
