Top 20 Frigidaire FAC126P1 wall/window Air Conditioner - Page 6 Questions & Answers

The problem is in the thermostat wiring, likely it is grounding somewhere between the thermostat and the air handler/furnace unit.

If you choose to use the air conditioner to cool a room when the outside temperature is low, any condensation that naturally accumulates on the cooling coil inside the unit can freeze. When the coils freeze over, the air flowing through the unit fails to cool, and in your case may have blocked any air flow. I assume you can hear the fan but get no flow? Freezing may damage the unit. Allow the unit to defrost by turning it off and leaving it off for several hours, or even days, to allow warm air to flow through the coils and melt the ice. Of course if you live in a place like Minneapolis you might be waiting until April. But you should be able to check whether the coils are clear by removing the filter and shining a flashlight through the air-exhaust cavity. The coils are usually visible just inside. If the ice doesn't melt quickly enough, you can speed things up by pointing the hot air of a hair dryer at the coils through this opening. I also assume since you are in apt you have no access to the exterior side of the unit to check what is going on? Or if this is a window unit just take it out of the window for awhile (granted ... that can be a pain in the you know what). Good luck on your troubleshooting ... I think you are the right track

I am recent retiree. Contact your company HR dept first. Then start looking at Social Security Administration. There are many web sites with advice. And radio programs. Hire an advisor or utilize multiple sources and take notes. Many people out there willing to scam your money. Be careful. http://ssa.gov/

Excellent question - go to web site for significance of code so you know where to look during your DIy activities.

Code 'E6' does not show up. Here is the Sears website with codes. It also shows problems and fixes which may help you narrow down your problem. Model FFMS221WQ20 FRIGIDAIRE SPLIT ROOM AIR CONDITIONER Parts

I've never seen a reset on a window unit. Normally we have a gfi button on the plug that goes into the wall. Or by unplugging, and plugging back in will reset it.

Water going outside is the important part. The hole is not necessarily the drain, the angle at most is an eyesore! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

unplug it if you can and let it set for 20 minutes, set the temp control where you want it and plug it in, wait a bit and see if it starts cooling. you can confuse these things if you turn it off and on rapidly or change the temp control up and down sporadically. The compressor has to take it's time to kick on after it has been shut off and then on again.

It SHOULD NOT ... (smell in... even in WEST TEXAS). BRAND NEW... Rush on down and get a good NEW one. I would suspect the condensate drip pan is plugged... Common for AC units .. But NEVER in "brand new"... Get that (previously owned (my opinion)) UNIT back from where you bought it ... Trade it in for a CLOSED BOX... and make your sales CLOWN write up why you are returning it. Mold can be quite dangerous!! Carnac the Magnificent

Sounds as if your blower wheel is damaged or the balance weight has dislodged. Turn power off and inspect blower wheel. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Sounds like a high pressure fault. Is the outdoor fan running? If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

If the blower is not running its likely not setup properly on the tstat. Be sure its setup for electric heat with forced air. Tstat controls the fan If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

means you need to replace the panel

Is this a window unit?

You have to try resetting the system. First turn the breaker off for the condenser and wait about 20 seconds. After you turn it back on the system should reset. If you are having prolonged air conditioning check out Air Conditioning Tamarac for more HVAC Support.

Make sure you have power to the unit by plugging something else into the plug
