20 Most Recent Whirlpool ACC108PS Air Conditioner - Page 2 Questions & Answers

hi guys i found reset button in whirlpool chrome model split 1.5 ton just you lift the door of ac then you look carefully at the top of right there is a warnig door no need open that just above a button like thing in a hole just press it when ac is on

Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment top off.

The problem is one of two things or both.

The drain hole in the drip pan, near the rear of the unit is clogged and/or the rear of the unit does not have enough downward tilt. The general rule of thumb for rear downward tilt is 1/4" to 1/2". The downward tilt causes the water to flow to the rear of the drain pan and out thru the drain hole.
A clogged drain hole can be hard to find, sometimes. As the clog will blend in with the hole. Patience & persiistence are the key to located it. A piper cleaner works well to clear the clog, once the drain hole is located. Before attempting any service on the unit, turn it OFF & unplug it.

Hope I was able to help you troubleshoot & solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Unless you are skilled in electrical troubleshooting you will need to contact a professional. One thing you can check is to unplug the unit, Take cover off and try to spin fan by hand. If could possibly be binding on something or the motor is seized. If this is not the case than it is in the controls (relay or capacitor).

Start your window air conditioner troubleshooting with checking the different modes of operation to see which components operate. Turn the unit fan to on and the cool and heat modes off. If the fan does not operate, check the power supply to the unit. Check to see if the breaker or fuse for the unit is tripped. If the breaker/fuse is tripped, check to make sure that it is the proper size circuit for the unit you have. On some units, there is a current interrupter on the power cord to the unit. Check to see if it is tripped by pushing the reset button.
If the circuit is the proper size, then you can go ahead and reset the breaker/fuse. If it trips again, then you require further troubleshooting. Shut the power off and check all of the wiring in the unit to make sure that none of the connections is loose or damaged.
If the fan does not operate but the fuse/breaker is not tripped, you should check the run capacitor for the fan and compressor. If the capacitor is good but the fan motor does not operate, you can check the fan switch and the fan motor. Ensure that the fan blades spin freely.
If the fan motor operates but the compressor does not start, change the capacitor but first you should feel the compressor with your hand. If it is very hot, then you should allow it to cool.
Then, you should attempt to start the unit in the cooling mode. As you do so, listen for a clicking sound which is an indication that it is attempting to start. If the compressor starts but does not cool properly, the unit may be low on refrigerant.
If the compressor attempts to start but shuts off very quickly, the compressor could be bad. You could try installing a "Hard Start"



If the compressor does not attempt to start, ensure that the thermostat is set below room temperature. On units with a mechanical control, you will hear a click when you adjust the temperature. That is an indication that the thermostat is working properly.

Yes it is fine to wash coils thouroghly with high pressure sprayer nozzle on garden hose. You can also blow out with compressed air and use small brush to clean fins or blades on fan.Dry completly and clean filter before you reinstall it. Thank you.

its very simple.just remove the batteries and wait for a while. then put the batteries back and the remote should return to its normal state......

Its inside the front panel at right side

If the filter was removed and replaced while the unit was ON, it doesn't sense that it was replaced or cleaned. Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF, unlpug it from the wall, remove the filter and reinstall it properly. Then, plug the cord back in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. The Clean Filter indicator light, should have stopped blinking or will shortly there after.

Hope this helped you.

A through the wall AC unit that has lasted 25 years or so? That's amazing and unheard of !!!

iI it's tripping a circuit breaker, there's an electrical problem with one of the circuits, within the unit and that can be dangerous. Certainly repairing it is an option. But, at 25 years old, I doubt that there are many parts for that model left in existence. Not to mention that the cost of troubleshooting it, parts and labor may cost almost as much or more, as a new Energy Efficient unit would cost.

You have to admit, you got your monies worth out of it over the past 25 years. So, if it were me making the decision, I'd opt for a new Energy Efficient model, with the same cooling capacity as your old one.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

Unplug unit for 10 minutes

Open the front panel by unlocking the latch Inside you will see the filter screen. Slide it out and clean it. Replace the front panel

Look at your remote carefully. There is a bal pen type push to reset filter button on the remote. Depress the rest button and it should reset. Also on the contol panel you can also reset it by depressing the mode and the UP temo arrow for 5 seconds.

I know it has been at least a year since your post. I am answering the post to terminate FixYa site activity on the post.

Remove the front cover. Check the routing of the temp sensor wire. It should go from the bottom of the control panel to the plastic clip in the evaporator coils. If it is touching the eavporator coils it will sense the refrigerant temp and cycle off early. If the unit is freezing up there is a restriction in the coolant lines and usually will require the coolant system be purged of foreign internal debris.

Look real hard on the remote. There is a mini "use a ballpoint pen" push to reset filter button on the remote.

Electronic control panel: (not all models)
Hold the mode button and the Temp Up arrow depressed for about 5 seconds. It should display the temp and the FL should disappear.

The most common reason for this is that you have a bad capacitor. If the capacitor is bad, and not sending enough "juice" to the compressor, then it will "click" off on overload. Capacitors can be checked using a multi-meter, set to check mFd (microfarads)

Check the condenser coil, it sounds like it's dirty. If not then the condenser motor may be bad, running slow or not running at all.
