Description
This reversing valve assembly directs refrigerant flow to switch a heat-pump refrigeration system between cooling and defrost modes, restoring proper temperature control and system cycling. Replaces a worn or leaking valve to help recover normal operation. What it does
- Routes refrigerant flow to change system mode (cooling vs. defrost/heat) in compatible heat-pump refrigerator systems
- Stops refrigerant bypass and restores correct high/low side pressure balance when functioning
- Common symptom: unit fails to switch modes or runs but won't cool/freeze properly
- Common symptom: visible refrigerant leaks or oil around the valve body
What's included One reversing valve assembly. Install notes
- Refrigerant system work requires a certified HVAC/R technician; valve replacement typically involves recovering and recharging refrigerant
- Disconnect power before servicing and relieve system pressure per safety procedures
- Handle the valve and fittings carefully to avoid damage to sealing surfaces; use proper brazing or flare techniques if required
- After installation, leak-test before recharging
