Why doesnt my Goodman CPLE36 1 central AC unit with heat pump turn on outside but inside it blows air throughout the house though it's not cool air and the heat only works on emergency heat?

The thermostat turns on the heat pump and indoor fan. If an electrical sub circuit to or within the heat pump fails or locks out the heat pump, the outdoor part will not turn on.


Cleaning Heat Pumps?

It is vital that heat pumps be cleaned regularly since they collect a great deal of outdoor dirt and debris. Every year, the power should be turned off to the heat pump and the front screen should be removed. Typically, this is just the removal of several screws. Once the front filter is removed, use an outdoor vacuum to thoroughly clean leaves, pine needles, grass clippings and other outdoor debris from the screen. Then vacuum around the heat pump's fan blades. Finally, reaffix the front screen. This cleaning will allow the pump to work more efficiently.


How can you tell the difference between central heat and air unit and a heat pump?

The heat pump will have an additional component in the outdoor unit, a reversing valve. Additional wiring is also required for a heat pump to operate. (more than the 2 wires used to operate an a/c condensing unit) These are not the only differences, but the easiest to visually spot. lc
