I have a bryant heat pump that runs fine in a/c and emrg. heat but trips breaker in heat mode. It will run fine for a while and then trip. At first I thought it was the defrost timer tripping when it would call for defrost - but it happens randomly, with no seemingly specific pattern. Could it still be the defrost timer?

Need to have the amps checked while in Heating mode and when there is a call for emergency heat. Heat strips turned on.
