heat questions and PROBLEMS

question......with an electric heat pump,(central heat and air) should the outside fan (condensor fan?) be running? (to get heat)
would a low refrigerant charge keep it from running?(heating)
the blower fan runs, but I have no heat. Can something be jumped to get the outdoor fan running without hurting the unit until I can get a pro out? thanks for anything!

Have him put in some Dye tel or fluorescent dye now. It will help find the leak before it gets to cold. If not you will have to go to EME like said

heatslave highflow, pump running constantly

alsudane on Nov 06, 2007

I have just moved to a house where it has an old boiler, it is Worcester, heatslave highflow type. When I tried to switch it on from the mains, after lighting the pilot, I could hear a lot of rattling nose from the pump as well as the timer. Consequently, I managed to install, new pump, new two port valve, and new timer. It is now working perfectly, but pump seems to be always working, whether the CH on or off or the DWH on or off. In my opinion the pump should come on when either the CH or DHW is on demand, any other time it should not be running, am I right in assuming this? Is there any relay stuck on the PCB, can someone advice of where I can get a manual for it, any input or advice from anyone would be highly appreciated.
