OEM Carrier Defrost Control Board HK32EA007 for Model PH13NB042000ABAA
This OEM defrost control board is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH13NB042000ABAA heat pump. The defrost control board manages automatic defrost cycles by monitoring outdoor coil temperature and run time, then energizing the reversing valve and auxiliary heat to melt ice buildup. When this board fails, symptoms include a continuously iced-over outdoor coil, failure to enter or exit defrost mode, short-cycling, or a complete loss of heating capacity in cold weather.
