Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC - geothermal heat pump


Expert: J Cook - 6/11/2009

Question
I'm currently trying to help an older retired military gentleman with his Snyder General/Mcquay closed loop geo heatpump Model# FCV060AMGL.  having trouble finding a website to get any info (i.e. Manuals, spec's, troubleshooting etc..).  Looking for any and all help u can give me to find this info.  Specificily, the heatpump comes on and works well for a few hours then cuts off.  Hi/Lo cutouts OK (low volts) board gets hot tho don't know why or how - no relays.  While checking cutouts unit comes on. 3 LED on board, yellow lit?????

Answer
I do not have any information on this manufacturer. You will need to contact the manufacturer to get a manual for this unit by model and serial number. If no gauges have been put on the unit, I would suggest doing so to see what the pressures are doing as it cycles. It appears to either be cycling on low pressure indicating a low charge, or high pressure indicating it is not getting enough refrigerant cooling in the loop. Thanks J
