    Thanks to this video, I fixed my unit for $20 and called no one. My wife made a call and was told "you may have a freon issue" nope! Thanks!

    Because of this video I found out there was an on/off switch on my air handler, and that fixed my issue. Thanks!

      $200 if the AC guy is honest. It cost us $900 for them to fill up the coolant. Nothing else was done.

    I did just that reset the black button and removed the batteries for a minute. Still the AC won’t turn on. Any idea what to check? Note the AC was working , I tried to fix heater that won’t turn on . I used a piece of wire on the controller to see if maybe the heater will start if I use a wire no start ( heater) now both the AC AND HEATER WONT TURN ON. I might have shorted something when I used a jumper wire?

    Silicon Valley engineer I thought u might be able to help me. I just want to fix my AC RIGHT NOW . AC was working until I tried to fix the heater . I might have shorted something in the air handler . What happend I used a paper clip to bypass the thermosthat . To see if the heater will start( nothing) I stop from there but now the AC. Won’t turn on as well. Is there a fuse in the air handler that might have blown? Condenser won’t run as well ( the outside)

    After a storm last wk and the power flickered, the unit no longer cools. When I turn the unit back on at the switch, should the thermometer be on or off to let the unit reset itself for 15 minutes?

    I do have a question I got my AC installed last year and now it won’t turn on and it does not have a filter slot , I was wondering if it’s suppose to have a filter and where would it be? When I turn on my AC it turns on and air comes out but it’s not cold enough to make my house a decent temp. And I checked out side the AC unit was not running so I assumed that was the fan

      What ended up being the solution?? I’m having this same problem !

    • @tomgreene7942
      @tomgreene7942 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same issue fixed by changing one of the fuses in the disconnect box. It happened last year too. I changed it both times and both times the AC came back on. I don't know why the fuses are blowing though. Other video comment says it could be overheated (it's over 100 this week) or a power surge. I hope it is one of those and not a short in the compressor.

  • @valeriehartman3705

    My AC was working fine yesterday and then just stopped last night. We tried the switch outside, it worked for 5 mins. So I know it's not the fuse. But we did have the annual maintenance this week and everything seemed to work fine. And then yesterday, this happened. I will check the fuse box anyway.

    • @tomgreene7942
      @tomgreene7942 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wouldn't trust the guy who did your annual maintenance if you are now having problems. Could be a mistake by him or worse.

    My Thermostat has been glitching so I replaced it, and it looks to be working but my AC has not kicked on.I checked my breaker box and it was fine but when I went to check the disconnect switch is off, but it will not stay in the “on” position when i flip the switch. How can i fix this.

    @user-rd6lk9yl7f ปีที่แล้ว

    My ac does not turn on right away when I start it . Later when I tried again it started, once it started it is not turning off . So I shut it off . Now when I try to turn it on it’s not turning on
