Hello,
I just realized that my home heat pump compressor keeps running
and freezing the line by bypassing the thermostat. I believe the
thermostat itself is still in good working order because if I set it
to a temperature lower than the outside temperature, compressor and
condenser fan come on, and when it reaches the preset temperature, the
condenser fan stops spinning while the compressor keeps working and
freezing the line. Any idea of what is wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestion.

I've never seen a thermostat on a freon line. May we have some more
information? Line bypassing the thermostat? New one, to me.
It sounds like a controls, relay, and switching problem.

Once again, your incompetence is shown.
The thermostat the OP is talking about happens to be the one controlling the
room temp.
Furthermore, a HP has a line thermostat for defrost purposes.

Maybe I didn't explain the problem clearly enough. I meant to say that
no matter what the temperature setting of the thermostat inside the
house is, the compressor will still run, while the condenser fan will
stop once the preset temperature inside the house is reached.
Basically the compressor does not respond to the thermostat setting,
while the condenser fan does, and as soon as the fan stops spinning, I
see ice forming around the line that goes inside the house to the
evaporator. This is what I meant by saying "bypassing the thermostat".
I agree with you about the nature of the problem, and I was hoping
that somebody else had experienced something similar and could be
more specific about what to look for.
