What does HP-04 mean?

The unit says heating but the supply air is colder than return (or the opposite in cooling).

Why does it matter?

A stuck reversing valve or a wrong mode point means the unit works against the space every time it runs.

What should you do?

Verify the reversing-valve solenoid and coil, the mode/changeover point wiring, and the thermostat configuration.
