OEM Carrier Defrost Control Board HK32EA007 for Model PH13NA03600GABAA
This is the genuine OEM Carrier defrost control board (part number HK32EA007), factory-specified for the Carrier PH13NA03600GABAA heat pump. The defrost control board monitors outdoor coil temperature and initiates timed defrost cycles to prevent ice accumulation on the evaporator coil. When this board fails, the heat pump may ice over completely, fail to enter or exit defrost mode, or operate in continuous heating lockout — leaving you with no heat during the coldest days of the year.
