Oasis Zone Fault

[Jim]

On your other heat sources, you have heat pumps, not just air conditioners, so you need to find that selection on your thermostat. Mine is simple, but yours may not be.

Thanks Rich! It's simple now that I understand the terminology and where the settings are. But last night, well not so much!

If you change the fuse and it immediately pops the new one, you have a bad (stuck) pump.

Hey Rich, were exactly are these fuses?

Well, I'm not Rich but I can answer the question if you want.

Pull off the cover plate in the panel next to the OASIS system, wall mounted. Nothing holds the cover plate on. This should be addressed in the troubleshooting manual. I think some fuse positions are inaccurate in the manual. When I had the issue I pulled and inspected each blade fuse.

Thank you both. The burned fuse appears to be the top one. Can one of you bring me a 10amp fuse, please?

Thanks in advance . . .

Well chances are it will pop a new fuse anyway if you have a bad pump.

I'm expecting it will, but I need to have some spare fuses in the toolbox anyway. So I'm off to the nearest auto parts store. Again, thank you both.

This is how I carry fuses and other small repair stuff. It’s a little disorganized right now but I constantly update it by adding and deleting stuff as appropriate:

Thats good - you have your diagnosis!
