No. I can set the room temperature on the thermostat and the fan will start but compressor never kicks on. This is in either cool or heat pump modes. You can hear the thermostat click registering the call for heating or cooling.
Since opening up the unit to investigate I noticed the "freeze control sensor" was not in the fins like the installation instructions call for. This has made me wonder if this is the cause. In late October we were camping in cool weather using the heat pump just fine. It would dip much cooler in the evening. I noticed I was not hearing the unit go into defrost cycle like I have heard in the past. So I'm wondering if it froze-up due to the sensor not being in place and it damaged the unit. Thanks.
