It manages defrost timing, compressor staging, reversing-valve switching, and anti-short-cycle protection, coordinating the 24V control circuit that drives the contactors and relays. The kit ships with the mounting hardware and connectors needed for a complete replacement. A failed board typically shows up as a heat pump that won't enter or exit defrost, ices over in heating mode, refuses to switch between heating and cooling, or simply stops responding to thermostat calls even though 24V power is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1183618\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl board kit (defrost \/ timing control)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP (Tempstar \/ Heil \/ Comfortmaker family)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoard, mounting hardware, connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct-fit kit for the ICP RHS243S0EA0AAAA heat pump and equivalent ICP-built outdoor units sold under Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, and KeepRite.
