We have a Frigidaire a/c-heating window unit (faz12hsa2a). it was working fine, but now the compressor does not come on. Suggestions?

There are a few possible reasons why an Electrolux window AC unit may be blowing cold air when set to heat mode. Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check the thermostat settings: Make sure that the thermostat is set to "heat" mode and that the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature.
2. Clean the air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and prevent the unit from heating properly. Clean or replace the filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Check the air ducts: Make sure that all of the air ducts are properly connected and that there are no leaks or blockages.
4. Check the compressor: If the compressor is not running, the unit will not heat. Make sure that the compressor is running and that the compressor's fan is functioning properly.
5. Inspect the heating element: Make sure that the heating element is not broken or damaged and check the continuity with a multimeter.
6. Contact the manufacturer or a professional technician if the problem persists or you are unable to troubleshoot the issue.

Note: Before you start troubleshooting, make sure to turn off the power to the unit and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

Thanks for the post, friend!

I understand that the compressor continues to run after your Frigidaire air conditioner has turned off. From that information it sounds like there could be a possible issue within your control panel or relay. I would recommend a reset on the appliance, to perform a reset unplug the power cord you will see a test button, push that button and you will hear a click. You would then press the reset button you will hear a click again signifying that the appliance has been reset. Then plug your air conditioner back in. If you continue to have an issue with your compressor I would seek assistance from a professional. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

check the reversing valve and solenoid

Try setting the thermostat at a normal heat setting. By raising the temperature too high the unit thinks that the heat pump won't be effective and go into strip heat mode.

The switch cycling is probably the contactor-ley that with the help of the capactor will close the contacts and provide power to the compressor.

But finding the diagrams/schematics for a window air conditioner is hard so I hope you kept yours.

A general note, normally if the compressor is gone in a window unit, it is normally cheaper to replace than to repair.

Hello
One possibilty is the out side coils or condenser is dirty.And the unit is shutting down on high heat.

Try cleaning the outside coils with some simple green cleaner or even comet spray, then rinse with a hose.

It is probably the compressor. You will need to check if the compressor is being called to come on. Do you hear the compressor running? If you do, I would remove the unit from the wall or window, and wash it down real good with a hose being careful not to get the electronics wet. If not and the unit sound different than it did before, it's probably time to buy a new one.

hope this helps?

My frigidaire model is CPLEF398CCB conventional electric flat top oven. Everything is working fine except my oven. When I select pre-heat, broil or bake nothing lid up. No heat on the coil, only fan.Any suggestions?

clean your return air filter, and while you have the front cover off you may want to clean the evaporator as well (it's the silver grill looking thing) some compressors come off their springs during transport and will rattle for years but still work fine.
