Seems like it. But, as I've posted a few times before, they had no interest.

IMHO, the problem is firmware related. If you press the High Power on the remote,
or try to change the room temperature by more than 2 degrees, the controller goes nuts
and ramps everything up to full RPMs.
Shortly thereafter, one the outdoor unit's sensors activates and shuts it down.
You can see the sensors at the bottom of this pic. High Pressure switch and Over-Load relay.

My hack (upper right corner of this pic) stops the run-away before any damage can be done.

The High Pressure switch and Over-Load relay get to take a break..
