This OEM defrost control board (part 1173636) manages the defrost logic for the Tempstar T4H430GKC200 heat pump. During cold-weather operation, frost builds on the outdoor coil and chokes heat transfer; the defrost board monitors coil temperature and run time, then initiates a defrost cycle — energizing the reversing valve, stopping the outdoor fan, and timing the cycle so the coil clears without wasting energy. A failed board leaves the outdoor coil iced over, kills heating capacity, or traps the unit in a continuous or never-triggering defrost state. Symptoms include a frozen outdoor unit, no heat, the unit stuck in defrost, or erratic fan and reversing-valve behavior.
