Overview

This is the genuine OEM defrost control board (part #1173636) for the Tempstar T4H424GKC200 heat pump. The defrost board is the brain of the outdoor unit's heating cycle: it monitors the defrost sensor and outdoor coil temperature, runs the defrost timing logic, energizes the reversing valve, controls the contactor and condenser fan, and triggers auxiliary heat during a defrost event. When this board fails, the heat pump may ice over and never clear, blow cold air in heating mode, short-cycle, or stop responding to the thermostat entirely. Because it coordinates nearly every high- and low-voltage function outdoors, a faulty board produces a wide range of symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T4H424GKC200 — 24V Heat Pump | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T4H424GKC200 — 24V 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 T4H424GKC200 — 24V 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.
