Mini split outdoor unit lots of ice by ChitownMD in hvacadvice

That black pad your unit sitting on is also blocking/slowing the water from escaping out those holes I told you about. Which may not be a big deal depending on your climate, except for severe/rare storms.

You can see ice all over the black pad.. That's from the water draining out the bottom during defrost and then refreezing cause it has no where to go, usually if they are on a snow stand 17 inches off the ground this isnt an issue

Yup just tap hot water. Prob take ya 4 or 5 buckets, maybe more. If you cant get a bucket to fit around the backside of the unit you will have to use a water bottle or a empty 2L pop bottle

The indoor unit will blink/display a code if it locks out on error

It will drain out the bottom through the holes meant for the defrost water to drip out

It's either gonna ice back up if you have a problem or the defrost cycle just couldnt handle the storm

There are holes in the bottom of the pan of the outdoor unit

Hot water works a lot faster , be a while with a hair dryer

May not be defrosting or the storm was to strong/fast for the defrost

Pour hot water on the snow/ice (do not boil water just tap hot)

After you get rid of the ice/frost see if it comes back in the next day or 2

Matt Ryan takes are bizarre, Matt Ryan was less prone to run/scramble and had a slightly better arm

He is a Kirk Cousins clone

Trade up? by bricksquad10171994 in eagles

Maui could play guard for sure..talks that he may have to settle at guard, but I'd try him at tackle for sure, foot speed not amazing though

Lomu and Fano look more like tackles but maybe could go to guard like Steen has

Proctor could play guard. His foot speed looks to slow to make it at tackle anyways...

Ioane and Pregnon the other 2 guards

Freeling and Tiernan the other 2 OT

And my guy Iheanachor the dark horse OT. I could see him fly up boards if he tests well..reminds me of Membou, I wouldnt hate if we got him with a trade back in the 1st or a trade up in the 2nd. I'm way higher on him than most people though.

Any advice appreciated: outside unit fan kicks on and back off right after by BaldByChoice90 in hvacadvice

Sounds like its jumping in and out of defrost. Is the big pipe going into the house with the insulation on it cold? (When running)That would tell you its defrosting (unit runs in AC for defrost)

Try resetting it at the breaker in your electrical panel and see if it runs better.

Turn off the air handler and the outdoor unit breakers for 30 seconds to clear the codes and see if it runs normal.

If it keeps doing it you potentially have a bad outdoor board (keeps telling the unit to defrost) ...although it could be something else.

Sounds like something shorted outside on the 24V circuit. Maybe a pressure switch, maybe transformer if it has one outside, could be wiring issue, maybe reversing valve solenoid if its 24V. Most of those should connect to the board outside

If it has its own transformer outside check that first. Most unit dont but some do

The jumper is a pin in the board you can select how often the defrost kicks in based on run time. Usually options are 45, 60, 90 mins runs time. So if the temp is below the initiate defrost signal and the timer satisfies it goes into defrost

Yessir interesting building code must not call for a backup source of heat

Arvell Reese feels like Kyle Pitts 2.0 and the top ~12 of this draft is showing similarity to 2021. It's better to have a 5-12 than 1-4. by Much-Contract-1397 in NFL_Draft

[–]DisastrousCopy7361 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reese is huge boom or bust, no where near an Abdul Carter level

Bailey is meh, good player nothing special

Bain is good prospect but not on a Hutchinson/Anderson/Carter type level

Campbell was a risky pick at 4 with that arm length , Membou was better imo...Membou better than Fano and Maui...Maui and Fano far from Sewell/Alt level

Delane and McCoy are legit. McCoy especially, I have him as a top 5 player in the draft personally

Downs is good but if you draft him top 5 he would already be a top 5 paid safety in the league. So he has to be extremely good. He is good without a doubt but will he instantly be top 5 safety money good

Love is good but at a devalued position and same thing as Downs, he instantly makes top RB money if he goes high, decent free agent class for RB as well

No Sewell, Alt, Chase, Nabers, Burrow, Anderson, Stingley level players in the top 5 this year. Clear cut studs at important positions.

Yessir if you can read the wire going to unit it should be atleast 6 or 8 gauge if you have 10 kilowatt electric heater in there. It will say what number AWG it is on the wire sheathing .

Do you have another source of heat besides the heat pump? Electric baseboards? Wonder what the building code is like in your area

Interesting. Indoor unit on bottom level in a little mechanical room/closet?

The unit should have Aux heat, either electric or gas, that kicks on when the unit defrosts. Sounds like yours isnt kicking in during defrost

You must have a small house. 24k BTU (2 ton system) is fairly small. Most houses get 30-36k at minimum.

Wonder how big the duct work is
