It monitors the coil temperature sensor and accumulated run time, then commands the reversing valve and outdoor fan to clear frost from the outdoor coil during heating operation. The board manages 24V control logic, defrost timing intervals, and compressor\/fan relay outputs. When it fails, the outdoor coil can ice over solid, heating capacity drops, and the system may short-cycle or lock out. Replacing a failed defrost board restores proper cold-weather heat pump performance.\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\u003e1173636\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefrost Control Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTempstar (OEM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefrost timing, reversing-valve \u0026amp; fan control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor heat pump section\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect OEM replacement for the Tempstar T4H324GKA200 heat pump.
