Answer 1 is spot on. You have a set of probes inside the cabinet. It performs 3 tasks. 1st It senses for the water on initial fill. The water has 8 minutes to activate the probes or you will have Service "02" on the screen of wall controller (this is not app with remote handsets), 2nd the probes act as salinity probes measuring the salts and minerals. When the probes are activated in this mode the drain valve is opened and then 3rd, the water then has 4 minutes to leave the probes. If the water takes longer, you will have a Service "04". You can determine if drain valve problem by, after pre-cool and fan comes on, turn off wall controller and push together the 'up' and 'down' buttons. You will get 'drn' on wall contoller. Go out to the waste drain pipe for your evap. If your drain valve is faulty you wont get water out. You can temp run machine by pushing and holding down the down speed button till 'service' goes away

What brand is it. If its an evaporative cooler like breezair or braemar it means it is not draining the water. If so check the drain pipe and the drain valve

Just returned to my condo after 4 months. Inside temp is 94. Lux pro thermostat set at 82 and is flashing a sun symbol. Help

Your AC is NOT working. Need to do some sleuthing. Is the compressor running? Air handler? Fuses ok? If compressor not running check out the start relay/capacitor.

Flashing snowflake on ac no idea name of thermostat

Usually a flashing snowflake means you are in a time delay for cooling. If the snowflake becomes solid, cooling should start. If it never stops flashing, possibly it's bad. Turn power off to air handler, remove stat and put red green and yellow together and turn power back on. If indoor AND outdoor work and cooling begins the tstat is definitely bad.

What does the snowflake mean on a Honeywell thermostat in cooling mode. Also had the problem in the heating mode.

The snowflake means it's cooling. If the outdoor unit is not running then the problem is likely outside.

Air conditioning not working. Have White-Rodgers thermostat 1F79111, I think. Replaced batteries. Now have flashing signal like an asterisk. What does it mean?

Blinking snowflake means it's on time delay for cooling to come on (usually 5 minute time delay to prevent compressor short cycling). Solid snowflake means cooling is on

The unit keeps flashing

By unit, do you mean the thermostat? And if so, do you mean the whole face is flashing, or just a heat or cool symbol? And if your talking about the heating/cooling unit, are you talking about a flash on the board?
A thermostat face that is flashing is usually batteries.
A symbol that is flashing on a thermostat indicates a call and is in a delay. There will be a 5 minute delay on calls if the call has been short cycled, powered off and on, etc.
If the symbol continues to flash for an extended amount of time, then the problem is in the furnace, air handler, etc.
If the system is working, but flashing, then it could be the programming of the thermostat.

On my honeywell thermostat cool on keeps on flashing but ac dosent come on

On a Honeywell thermostat the flashing means that the system is in a delay to turn on the compressor. This is used to protect the compressor from coming on and off too often. The normal delay is about 5 minutes. After that the system should come on. If not there is s problem.

In order to help us help you we will need a little more information. What happens either at the inside unit or at the outside unit after the thermostat stops flashing "Cool"? Any fans come on? Do you hear a "KLUNK"? Any sparks? Please let us know so we can help.

The thermostat is flashing and E2 error code...what does that mean

It means the trailer is too warm for the thermostat to work - above 90 degrees inside. Take some ice and put in ziplock bag - place over thermostat and cool it down. Unit will start working when thermostat senses it is BELOW 90 degrees. FAULTY DESIGN.

Not cooling flashing 3 code

a little more information would be helpful. what is the model and manufacturer of the refrigerator? there may be a legend to let you know what 'flashing 3 code' means. a few things you may want to check are: 1. if there are fans in the refrigerator make sure there is sufficient air flow space 2. be sure your condenser coils are clean and free of dust and/or grease buildup 3.see if your evaporator is freezing up 4.be sure the thermostat is calling for cooling and your compressor is running.
