This OEM defrost control board (part 1173636) is the brain of the Tempstar T4H360GKD200 heat pump's defrost cycle. It monitors coil temperature and run time, then commands a defrost cycle — reversing the valve, shutting off the outdoor fan, and energizing auxiliary heat — to clear frost from the outdoor coil in heating mode. It also sequences the contactor and reversing valve coil during normal operation. When this board fails, the heat pump may ice over, fail to defrost, short-cycle, or stop responding to the thermostat entirely. Power surges, moisture intrusion, and failed relays on the board are the most common causes.
