COMPONENTS TESTING
21
TEST:
1. Remove leads from thermostat.
2. Turn thermostat knob clockwise to its coldest
position.
3. Test for continuity between the two terminals. Contacts
should be closed.
4. Turn thermostat knob counterclockwise to its warmest
position.
5. Test for continuity - contacts should be open.
NOTE: The thermostat must be within the temperature
range listed to open and close.
To maintain the comfort level desired, a cross ambient type
thermostat is used. The thermostat has a range from 60°
±2°F to 92° ±3°F. The thermostat bulb is positioned in front
of the evaporator coil to sense the return air temperature.
Thermostat malfunction or erratic operation is covered in
the troubleshooting section of this manual.
THERMOSTAT - Models ES, YS, EM, YM, EL, YL
A cross ambient thermostat is used on all heat pump and
electric heat units. In addition to cycling the unit in a heating
or cooling operation, the thermostat will terminate the
cooling cycle in the event ice forms on the evaporator coil,
in this case the thermostat functions as a de-ice control. A
resistor (anticipator) is positioned within a plastic block to
supply a small amount of heat to the bulb area to prevent
long “off cycles” in the “Cool-Fan Auto” (MoneySaver)
position. A current feedback through the fan motor windings
during “off cycle” completes the circuit to the resistor.
THERMOSTAT (“EQ08” Models) (See Figure 17)
This thermostat is single pole-double throw, cross ambient
with a range of 60° to 92°F and a differential of ±2°F. Terminal
“2” is common.

Thermostat
In the heating cycle, the heat anticipator is energized to
supply a small amount of heat during the “on” cycle. This
will open the contacts in the thermostat prematurely to
maintain a closer differential between the “cut in” and “cut
out” temperature. The heat anticipator is energized in the
heating mode regardless of whether fan is placed in the
automatic (MoneySaver) or constant run position.

60°F (±2°) to 92°F (±2°)
TEST :
Cooling/Heating Models: Remove wires from thermostat
and check continuity between terminal “2” (common) and
“3” for cooling. Check between terminals “2” (common)
and “1” for heating. Also check that contacts in thermostat
open after placing in either position. NOTE: Temperature
must be within range listed to check thermostat. Refer to
the troubleshooting section in this manual for additional
information on thermostat testing.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due
to the sensitivity of the internal mechanism and the
sophisticated equipment required to check the calibration,
it is suggested that the thermostat be replaced rather than
calibrated. Thermostat bulb must be straight to insure
proper performance.
THERMOSTAT BULB LOCATION
The position of the bulb is important in order for the
thermostat to function properly. The bulb of the thermostat
should be located approximately 45° to a maximum of 60°
from horizontal. Also, do not allow the thermostat bulb to
touch the evaporator coil. (See Figures 17 and 18)

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING
Disconnect power to the unit before
servicing. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death.
