How do you turn on emergency heat? When I select that mode on the
thermostat, it just blinks at me and says "call for service".
The unit itself has apparently died again, the blower is running but
cool air is coming out and the fan isn't spinning on the outside unit.
It did not trip the breaker this time, but I recycled the power
anyway. No indication of a problem on the thermostat either, it's just
not heating. Just in time for the start of the snowy season.

Please log into savemyacadia.org and post a complete summary of units history and current symptoms. There are almost 300 members on the site and virtually no activity has remained on the google group.

Please post your Acadia problems with savemyacadia.org
The "call for service" is from your Acadia and would stay there until reset. For example if a temprature fault (either bad sensor or even overtemp due to low charge of refridgerant) occured - the "call for service" would stay lit until reset. With emergency heat on - if wired correctly the WE signal from the TS joins the WE signal from the Acadia and both wire to the W2 (high electric strip heat) at the York TS. The W1 coil is powered from the Acadia side giving max electric strip heat - which is still less than the Acadia delivers but should keep the pipes from freezing.
The fact that the fan outside is not spinning seems to indicate that the Acadia had a volitile lockout and shup off. Are you sure there is no error code at the Aca?
