This genuine OEM defrost control board (P/N 1173636) is the brain of the Tempstar T4H430GKC100 heat pump's defrost cycle. During heating, frost builds on the outdoor coil; the defrost board monitors run time and coil temperature (via the defrost thermostat/sensor) and periodically reverses the system into a short cooling cycle to melt accumulated ice, energizing the reversing valve and shutting the outdoor fan as needed. A failed board leads to a coil that ices over and blocks airflow, a heat pump stuck in defrost, no defrost at all, or no outdoor unit operation. Symptoms include heavy ice buildup, weak heating, the outdoor fan running when it shouldn't, or no response on a call for heat.
