it's a heating unit that stays outside, why the fuck is it not working with ice on it

(it's a window unit in this room)



I'm not handy enough to do a jury rig :3

it's 50 degrees and if I turn it on it just spits out cold air which never warms up

thank you for sharing in my grief

I don't understand what is going on

when I put it on the heat option and like medium fan speed, the fan never comes out and it's still steadily blowing out cold air

when I put the Cool option on, the fan instantly goes up to Medium where it should be

normally it shouldn't even think about coming out (the cool option) since it's god damn 20 degrees below what I would keep the AC on normally

normally

turn the unit around it will blow the cold air out.

If it's a heat pump, they don't work well at all when it gets very cold outside, and they rely on emergency heat strips to reach set points.

This sounds like a job for Greg Fishel
