Overview

The OEM Tempstar Defrost Control Board (part number 1173636) is the brain of your T4H360GKD100 heat pump's defrost cycle. It monitors coil temperature and run time, then commands the reversing valve and auxiliary heat to clear frost from the outdoor coil during cold-weather operation. A failed defrost board is one of the most common causes of a heat pump that freezes over, blows cold air on heat mode, or short-cycles. This board uses 24V control logic and plugs into the existing harness for a direct OEM replacement — no rewiring or reprogramming required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T4H360GKD100 — OEM 1173636 | Ships Today?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T4H360GKD100 — OEM 1173636 | 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 T4H360GKD100 — OEM 1173636 | 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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
