On a heat pump the outside fan is not running when it's in ac mode contactor not pulled in why?

No control power to the contactor coil. You must trace the control circuit back until you find the open switch that is interrupting the flow of power and correct the problem.

What is wrong when you have to hold the contacts down in order to get the outside rheem heat pump to come on and stay running?
low voltage from thermostat is not properly connected to contactor. transformer is bad. contactor is bad. >>>>>>>>>>>> You have an open pressure safety switch on the outdoor unit or the control wiring from indoors to outdoors is too small a gauge which will lower your control voltage at the contactor.
Should outside unit be running when inside thermostat is set on heat?
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
Is it normal for an electric heat pump fan on the unit that is outside the house to run almost continuously?
That is not normal. You must have a contactor that is stuck. Does the compressor stay on as well?
What conditions lead to heatstroke?
outside in the dying heat.. running outside when it is really hot out.. not drinking enough water
Why is there steam coming from your home ac?
do you have a heat pump? are you running unit in heat? if so and the steam is comming from outside unit, this is normal in the units defrost cycle
Does running the ac helps cool down the engine?
No, Air conditioning actually makes the car's engine work harder causing to heat up more. To get a demonstration of the process, put your hand over the top of your outside air conditioner when it is running. Air conditioning is a heat movement. It's moving heat from inside your car to the outside. This heat is removed right in front of the radiator, so your csr runs hotter.
How do you know if you have pulled your tendent?
you put heat on it.
Why does heat pump blow warm air instead of cold?
if it's the outside unit, it will always be hot air. that's the air being pulled out of the house. cold air in, hot air out.
What does water do to a dodge avenger engine?
In the cooling system it transfers heat out through the radiator. If mixed with the gasoline, it can cause rough running or no start. If pulled in through the air filter it can cause a catastrophic failure.
Will a heat pump compressor burn out if the circulation fan does not work?
If the fan outside is not running the compressor will overheat and if the fan inside the house is not running the compressor will get liquid refrigerant back to it and lock up! Neither is good for the compressor.
Is it dangerous to put a air conditioner in a room with no windows what happens if you do does it work the same?
If you are running a window unit in a closed room, you will actually heat the room up. The unit needs to be able to "move" the heat to the outside air.
How do you get your HVAC to pump Heat into the house?
With a normal split system you will have to reclaim refrigerant, install reversing valve, install defrost kit including timer contactor and frost detector. Going to need more control wires to outside and a heat pump thermostat. Going to be a big deal for sure. Go buy a used unit from an installer. If you use gas it's possible your electricla service might need to be increased if you decide to use electric heat as the emergency heat.
