OPERATOR ERROR. I discovered the FAN mode on thermostat was set to Low instead of Automatic. For some reason that setting was not allowing the heat pump to activated. In addition when I turned on the furnace, both the furnace and heat pump blowers would run.
Fan mode in auto and everything works as it should.
On mine with the original analog thermostat I've discovered that just setting the desired temp and turning on the cool or heat mode doesn't always work. Usually on cool mode all I get is warm air blowing. At first I thought I had a problem with the main unit, but I found that moving the temp all the way down to the coldest temp causes the unit to switch into cool mode. After that I can set whatever temp I want and it works just fine, even when cycling on and off at or near the temp setpoint. It may be that I have a bad thermostat or it may be just an artifact of the analog design. I did notice that Dometic no longer offers my analog thermostat and has a digital replacement.
