Overview
This OEM control board kit (part number 1183618) is the electronic brain of the ICP RHX036K0XA0AAA heat pump. Running on the 24-volt control circuit, the board manages defrost timing and termination, energizes the reversing valve and contactor, sequences the outdoor fan, and enforces safety lockouts that guard the compressor against short-cycling and pressure faults. It ships as a complete kit with the mounting hardware and connector harness for a clean replacement, restoring reliable heat-pump operation after the original board has failed. Typical failure symptoms include no outdoor unit operation, a system stuck in or out of defrost, ice buildup on the coil during heating, an outdoor fan that runs constantly or not at all, and erratic switching between heating and cooling. Power surges, lightning, moisture intrusion, and overheated relays are the most common causes of board failure.

- Test — Restore power, run a heating and a cooling cycle, and confirm proper defrost and reversing-valve operation.
Signs You Need a Replacement
