Heat pumps fail differently than standard AC or furnace systems, and diagnosing them requires understanding the reversing valve and defrost board specifically.
Auxiliary heat strip issues are checked alongside the heat pump itself.
A heat pump that seems to be 'not heating' is often actually a reversing valve or defrost cycle problem, which a technician trained mainly on standard ac systems can easily misdiagnose, which is exactly why heat pump repair calls in Snowflake, AZ get treated with urgency, not a next-available-Tuesday slot.

Tech recognized it immediately as a defrost-related fault specific to that brand.

This is one of the most common and most misdiagnosed heat pump failures.
Some frost during a normal defrost cycle is expected; ice that never clears points to a defrost board or thermostat fault.
A technician needs specific training on these components to diagnose heat pump issues accurately.
