Hi, I'm Dima, I'm from Russia (excuse me my English) We have an air conditioner 48000Btu/h. When we switch on 3 leds are turning on at outdoor unit. Than after about 3 minutes it goes cooling for about 30 seconds and than compressor stop working and Led3 turning off. In 10 minutes everithing repeat.

Air Conditioners are broken down into two electrical systems, though they work together1. Low voltage control unit 24-28 volt control unit like thermostat and other switches and relays( also feeds compressor contactor,reversing valve, and defrost board on heat pumps)on the outdoor condensing unit .When there is no power to the thermostat,it cannot turn on the indoor fan or any other load (indoor or outdoor). In this case, first confirm there is power available (closed breaker,closed disconnect) If you have power the fan on manual switch on the thermostat should be able to turn on the indoor fan.If it doesn't, then your control voltage is most likely lost. check the transformer and 3 amp fuse in the air handler .2.The high voltage components are your compressor and your fans, both indoors and outdoors.High voltage 240 volt loads are controlled by the 24-28 volt control voltage.3. Remember, a thermostat is just a big on/off switch.4.Be careful and always play it safe when working around energized circuits5. Leave it to the pros, especially if you're inexperienced or nervous about electricity
