Overview

The Tempstar defrost control board (OEM part #1173636) governs the defrost cycle on your T4H524GKD200 heat pump. It reads coil temperature and accumulated run time, then initiates and terminates defrost so the outdoor coil sheds frost and ice during heating operation. A failed board can leave the coil iced over, trigger continuous defrost, skip defrost entirely, or mis-time the reversing valve and auxiliary heat handoff. Installing a new defrost board restores correct, efficient defrost control and shields the compressor from damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T4H524GKD200 — OEM 1173636 Heat Pump Control | Ships Today?

Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T4H524GKD200 — OEM 1173636 Heat Pump Control | 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 T4H524GKD200 — OEM 1173636 Heat Pump Control | 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.
