Overview

This is the genuine OEM defrost control board (part 1173636) for the Tempstar T2H360GKA200 heat pump. The defrost board monitors outdoor coil temperature and run time, then initiates and terminates the defrost cycle to clear frost from the outdoor coil during heating. It coordinates the reversing valve, outdoor fan, compressor, and auxiliary heat. A failed defrost board causes ice build-up on the outdoor coil, no defrost cycles, short cycling, or a unit that won't run at all — making it a critical component for reliable winter heat pump operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T2H360GKA200 — Heat Pump | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T2H360GKA200 — Heat Pump | Ships Today. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.

How do I replace the control board on my Tempstar T2H360GKA200 — Heat Pump | Ships Today?

Difficulty: Advanced (1–2 hrs)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: PHOTOGRAPH all wire connections before touching anything. Step 3: Label each wire with tape. Step 4: Disconnect all wires, remove old board. Step 5: Mount new board, reconnect all wires matching your photo exactly. Step 6: Restore power and test all modes. Exact part number match is critical.

My HVAC system is completely dead. What could be wrong?

Completely dead HVAC (no LED on board) = failed control board or blown fuse. Check board fuse first (3A or 5A, costs $1–$5). If fuse is good and board has power but no LED, board is dead. Always photograph wiring before replacing.

Is this control board compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar control board?

OEM essential. Control boards are model-specific with precise firmware and connector layouts. Aftermarket boards rarely match all functions and can cause intermittent failures or safety issues. Always match the exact OEM part number.
