Good Morning Marty, thank you for allowing me to assist you. Here are a few simple troubleshooting tips that may help you resolve this issue: · First, confirm that the unit has power to it. · Check the power cord connection to the wall outlet is secure. · Make sure that the house circuit breaker has not tripped. · Try testing the air conditioner again. Make sure the unit is turned off, Press the TEST button, you will notice a clicking noise as the BUTTON pops out. Then press the RESET button. Again, you will notice a click as the button engages, now turn unit on. If the LCDI plug does not reset the cord may be damaged. · The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3-minute compressor time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. And the fan will continue to run during this time. · If the unit has been turned off and on rapidly or if the thermostat was changed to a lower number and then immediately turned back to a higher number the compressor may not start. You must turn the unit off and wait a minimum of 3 minutes for the unit to equalize before restarting. If these assessment measures prove to be ineffective, I would strongly suggest contacting an authorized service technician who would be better able to assist you in the diagnosis and repair of your unit. You can often locate an experienced technician in your area by going to the manufacturer website.

Hi chip faust - When was the last time the filter was clean? Restricted air flow from dirty air filter can caused air conditioner to turn on and off rapidly. Make sure there is nothing blocking the airflow to the unit like drapes, blinds, furniture, etc which could restrict air distribution. When was the last time you cleaned the outside condenser coils? Confirm that the condenser coil is clean and not restricted by any trees, bushes, etc. Verify that the plug is not damaged and try resetting the unit. If any of these suggestions prove to be ineffective, then the unit could possibly have faulty PC power board, faulty compressor or power supply. Connect with a professional to accurately pinpoint any potentially more serious issues.

Is it a clicking or banging sound? The fan is most likely not kicking up the moisture to cool the evap coil off enough in the unit so you might here more noise for a little while. Monitor it and let me know if anything changes.

Is everything dry? Do you hear any noises like the compressor running it is just not cooling?

That is the temperature setting I would believe - meaning not the ?F setting but on a level of say 1-10 scale.

Is this smell a electrical smell, or is it a smell like the other tech is asking?Shastalaker7

Hi,
There is nothing you can do to fix it... the compressor is trying to start and cannot so it trips the plug. The plug trips to protect the house circuit from being overloaded and causing a fire.
Getting the compressor replaced is cost prohibitive, it is cheaper to buy a new unit.

Apparently, the unit is not recognizing the filter change. So, turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit. Wait 15 minutes and plug it back in. Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Hopefully, during that 15 minute timeout, the electronics reset themselves and reverted back to the original factory settings and the change filter light is now, OFF.

Hope this helps you.

Possible that the processor has hung and so you need to remove power for some time to help it reset. If this wont solve then remove the program controller unit and check the +5 on the processor. Check the circuits and see if there is any fault on the power supply .

On my air conditioner the filter slides out from the top of the air intake grill. It looks like part of the grill but look closely you should see the seam across the top of the grill. You don't have to take the front grill off.

Maybe the little sensing bulb is out of place and too close to the evap. Have you checked that?

To much condensation in the air .. Use a dehumidifier in the room ...

If it cools properly, it is not the thermistor. It most likely is the thermostat. Turn the knob to the warmest temperature and see if it shuts off. Still no? Then you can open up the control box. (DANGER--line voltage--can shock you) . Unplug the unit, open up the control box, take one of the wires(either one) off of the thermostat, tape it securely and isolated. If the compressor does not run now, then the thermostat is bad.

Make sure it is draining correctly in the bottom back. Sometimes the fan sprays the water on the cord.
