Hi friend, that's a great question!

To reset your Frigidaire air conditioner you would need to make sure the appliance is turned off and unplugged. On 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 and it should be reset. -Matt

You would be better off going on line to the manufacturers web site. Seek Support and download the required documentation.

Thanks for the post, friend!

I understand that the compressor continues to run after your Frigidaire air conditioner has turned off.

Your Frigidaire window unit is the same as any other window unit. Typically window unit air conditioners don't have a drain. This is why you have to make sure the back of the unit (the end that goes outside) is slightly lower than the front when you put it in a window. When it gets so high with water it drains out the back onto the ground.

Hello Friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you! If you are getting an error code P1 on your Frigidaire air conditioner, normally it indicates that the bottom tray is full. Carefully remove your air conditioner to a drain location and remove the bottom drain plug and allow the water drain. Then restart your appliance and P1 symbol should disappear after you have let your appliance run. However, if the error code continues, at this point, I would recommend reaching out to a professional to proceed further. - Z

Good Morning Friend, I understand you want to know where the drain hole is on your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAC127S1A. I see that the drain seems to be blocked, as water is collecting in the drain pan, instead of draining. The drain hole is located beneath the compressor. You might want to try tilting your air conditioner slightly to the outside, to allow better water drainage. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Hello friend, thank you for your post!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire air conditioner, FAZ08HS1A, is not heating up or changing fan speeds. From what you are describing it sounds like a potential problem with the control board or sensor. I would suggest performing a reset on your air conditioner and you can do that by disconnecting power from it for ten minutes. Are you under warranty? I would consult with the manufacturer for further resolution regarding your air conditioner. I hope this information has been helpful. -Matt

I see that your Frigidaire air conditioner will start up then shut off and blink. It could possibly an issue with control panel or the power source of the appliance.

Then press the "Reset" button, you will hear another click then plug the appliance in. Those are the steps to resetting your air conditioner, if that does not successfully correct the problem please reply back. I look forward to your response. -Matt

Good morning jesse dixon, I appreciate your post!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire air conditioner, FRA123CV1, cutting off every three minutes and then flashes "#88" then it will go back to the normal setting. Sounds it could be a possible issue within your control panel or power cord. Are you currently under warranty? If so, you might want to reach out directly to the manufacturer to determine the coverage on your air conditioner and the procedures to any potential remedy. I hope this helps to some degree. -Matt

Hello Friend, I am happy to assist you! I understand your Frigidaire air conditioner (FAS257Q2A2) is displaying error code A5; however, it appears the correct error code is AS. Error code AS typically indicates that your air conditioner is experiencing an issue with the ambient thermistor. I would strong suggest contacting a professional to check the wiring between the main control board and thermistor. A certified technician would generally replace the faulty part after proper diagnosis. Best regards! - Z

Good Morning Friend, I understand your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAC126P1, is not draining water or collecting water near the coils. When your air conditioner was installed, you would have wanted to make sure that the top rail and sliding panels at each side were offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16"). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained! I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand that your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FRA124HT2, begins with a constant beeping, and changes the modes itself, about every 30 minutes. I also see that it ends up on a different setting each time it does this. I suggest resetting your air conditioning, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker for 3-5 minutes. Bring power back to it and turn it on. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand you want to know how to turn off the power save mode for your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FFRE12L3Q1. Your appliance will run in energy saver(econ) mode when used for the first time. In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 1 minute after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 20 seconds at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on. You will be able to turn the energy save mode off by selecting your temperature as well as your fan speed. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Condensation is normal but window air conditioners bases must be tilted to the outside of the window so the condensation drains outside. The drain hole in the pan can plug with dirt overfilling the pan allowing the water to leak inside your home.

Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!

The sytrofoam inside the air conditioner is part of the duct work and it also helps to hold colder temperatures. The new air conditioners do not have drain holes but instead recycle the water inside your appliance to help cool the internal components. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt
