Nest learning thermostat with heat pump

Jbernitt
Community Member

I have a nest learning thermostat that won't turn the compressor on in heat mode intermittently if I reset the thermostat wire setting from 0 to B it will work but I leave the house and one day later it will not turn the compressor on. I have verified the with to the compressor is good. I believe it is a software problem or setting in the thermostat. I have a upstairs and downstairs thermostat and the upstairs has no issues working

Hi Jbernitt,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Nest Thermostat. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few questions:

 

  • What type of Nest Thermostat do you have?
  • How is your Nest Thermostat wired?
  • What is the power reading of your Nest Thermostat? You can find this information by going to Settings > Technical Info > Power.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Edward

Hi Softphil,

 

Thanks for letting us know the wiring. Were you able to check the power reading of your Nest Thermostat? Keep us posted.

 

Thanks,

Edward

yes the thermostat was fine it is supply the needed 24 volts to the compressor and the compressor would run for a minute then go into soft lock out (it was 1/2 pd low on Freon) 

problem solve. then sometime when it was energized the system would run just fine
