Hi,
I have a York 3-Ton Heat pump and a Honeywell Touchscreen thermostat.
Last week, I noticed that the outdoor unit was not coming on, and the
air handler was staying on. I called the guy who installed it for me
and he told me to press in the switch on the contactor on the outdoor
unit. After I pressed it in, the outdoor unit came on and the system
seemed to reset itself and everything worked fine for a couple days,
now the same thing is happening again. This time however, the system
didn't seem to reset itself, so I had to simply cut the power to the
indoor unit so it would shut off.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing the problem?
Thanks.

I lifted this from a website, hope it helps.

Blower runs continuously
This may be caused by two things: the thermostat mounted on the wall or
the limit switch located on the heat pump just below the plenum (the
box that distributes heated air to all of the ducts). The limit switch
is designed to shut off the heat pump if the air in the plenum gets too
hot.
Check the thermostat to see if the "Fan" switch has been turned on. If
it has, turn it to "Off" or to "Auto." If it is set to "Off" or "Auto"
already, the heat pump's limit switch must be adjusted. Call a heat
pump repair technician to adjust the limit switch or, if you are handy
with this type of repair, follow the instructions in your owner's
manual to reset the pointers on the fan side of the limit control. The
lower pointer should be set to about 90 degrees F and the upper one
should be at about 115 degrees F.

Real handy..NOT.
York does not use an adjustable limit. Never seen one go out either. If he
does not have electric backup, he wont have one anyway, since its part of
the heat strips, and it does not turn the blower on anyway.

Wow, another jerk!
I did a quick search and found some information pertaining to (general)
heat pump troubleshooting and posted it. I also posted a link to aYork
manual.
What did you do besides lambast someone that is at least trying to give
the man a lead or nudge into another direction?
You like strawmen don't you? Pick one incorrect bit of info from a
post and then base your entire response around it even though it wasn't
critical to begin with.
How about offering up something instead of attitude.
There's more assholes per thread on this group than any I've ever seen.
That speaks VOLUMES about you and your trade.

Sure...
Here we go bud..
To the OP, if you will post the model and serial number of the outside unit
and the air handler, i can get you the wiring schems, something that this
fucktard that wants to be newbie newsgroup patrolman cant...I mean..he can,
but its the basic wiring, and some of the units have more than one diagram
that he wont know about.
AND, if you are in the general area I am in, Ill come out and troubleshoot
it for free, and Ill even give you my labor for nothing, since he thinks we
are all asses.
> There's more assholes per thread on this group than any I've ever seen.
formlessreflections is the newest fucktard we have. Welcome to the group
moron.
> That speaks VOLUMES about you and your trade.
And you speak volumes about how fucking high YOUR labor rate needs to be.
You have a lot to learn..shame we cant cram it all to you at one time....at
least then, you would be so busy in brain overload....oh..wait....
we can do that now..
Hey...guess what?
you looked....
you are still looking....................................................
lemmie really confuse ya....
there...happy now? Since you went this far, its proof positive that to keep
someone that rode the short bus for 14 years occupied, its the simple things
that work.
Dont reproduce..we have enough brain dead kids as it is, and Darwinism would
only cause you and your wife pain.
