Help With Air Conditioning
Q: I have a problem with my A/C. It's a central unit. It was working, then it just stopped like there was no power. It's only 3 yrs old. I have misplaced the warranty. Please send tips. I went outside, opened the unit, pressed down the relay and it was on, does this mean it's the thermostat? There is normally a spark when I take the cover off, but now there is nothing.
A: Thanks for your inquiry. I contacted a heating and air conditioning specialist, who said it sounded like you have no power. He suggests you check the fuses. To do that:
- Turn off the circuit breaker to the air conditioner in the main panel.
- Turn off the disconnect switch in the box next to the air conditioning unit.
- Remove the two fuses and take them to a hardware store.
- Hopefully, the unit will come back on when you install new fuses.
- If not, call an air conditioning specialist.
