Overview

This is the genuine OEM defrost control board (part 1173636) for the Tempstar T4H436GKC100 heat pump. The defrost board is the brain of the outdoor unit's heating cycle — it monitors the defrost thermostat and timer, decides when frost has built up on the outdoor coil, and initiates a defrost cycle by reversing the valve, stopping the outdoor fan, and energizing auxiliary heat. It also coordinates the contactor and reversing valve coil. When this board fails, the heat pump may ice over completely, skip defrost, run defrost constantly, or fail to energize the compressor and fan.

Compatibility

Match the board's connector layout and part number to your existing board before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and disconnect, then verify zero voltage at the control board with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the condensing unit service/control panel to expose the defrost board.
Document — Photograph every harness plug and spade connector and label them before unplugging.
Remove — Unplug all connectors, release the board standoffs or mounting screws, and lift the old board out.
Install — Seat the new board on the standoffs and reconnect each harness and wire per your photo.
Test — Restore power, verify the board powers up, and confirm a normal heating call and forced/timed defrost cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T4H436GKC100 — Heat Pump Timer | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T4H436GKC100 — Heat Pump Timer | 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 T4H436GKC100 — Heat Pump Timer | 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.
