When a Fujitsu heat pump stops heating in the middle of spring: AirGreen expertise at work
At AirGreen , we frequently work in Saint-Lambert , on the South Shore of Montreal , to diagnose and repair Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pumps that have lost performance after several seasons of intensive use. This case perfectly illustrates a typical situation: a unit that seemed to still be working, but was no longer blowing hot air, leaving the house uncomfortable on cool May mornings.
Initial diagnosis: a faulty defrost system and a tired engine
The customer contacted us after noticing that their Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump was no longer producing heat, even though the indicator lights appeared to indicate normal operation. Upon arrival, our certified technician noted:
-
The indoor fan was running intermittently.
-
Defrost mode was triggering too often, even without ice buildup.
-
The outgoing airflow was warm and uneven.
-
The outdoor unit showed a light layer of frost , a sign of a faulty defrost cycle.
At this point, it was clear that the problem was an aging electronic control board that was unable to properly manage the heating and defrosting sequence.
Additionally, the indoor fan motor exhibited low starting torque—a warning sign of wear.
Repair steps: complete system restoration
Our technicians followed a rigorous procedure to ensure a long-lasting repair that meets the manufacturer's standards:
-
Complete dismantling of the facade and the interior turbine.
-
Cleaning the evaporator coil with steam and biodegradable degreaser to restore heat transfer.
-
Testing the control board with a digital multimeter: inconsistent reading of the defrost relay output voltage.
-
Replacement of the electronic card with an original Fujitsu part.
-
Lubrication and refurbishment of the interior blower motor , then checking the fan rotation.
-
Complete system reset and performance test.
-
Blowing temperature measurement : 46°C in heating mode, fully in line with specifications.
Result: restored performance and comfort regained
After the repair, the customer immediately noticed a noticeable change:
-
The indoor temperature stabilized in less than an hour.
-
The noise level of the unit has decreased thanks to the engine refurbishment.
-
The defrost sequence has been standardized, eliminating unnecessary cycles that increased energy consumption.
Thanks to this intervention, the Fujitsu heat pump has regained its full efficiency, providing both optimal heating and cooling for the coming season.
