Carrier 38BYC042 Defrost Sensor Board
The defrost sensor control board determines when or if to start the defrost cycle if necessary, to rid your unit of frost that can build up. It depends on a specific sensor located in the outdoor unit to make the decision on when to begin.
Major indications of a poorly working outdoor defrost sensor board
- Defrosting refuses to run despite the fact that there is a lot of frost that makes the unit run like crap
- The main circuit board may signify an alphanumeric error code if the defrost board goes out
- The system will stop operating for the simple fact of way too much frost build-up
