AC REPAIR – HOW TO PROCEED
WHEN YOUR AC REFUSED TO WORK
• BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, BE SURE TO CHECK THAT THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TO THE "COOL"
POSITION. YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEMS IF YOUR THERMOSTAT IS SET TO "HEAT" OR "OFF". YOU
SHOULD ALSO ENSURE THAT THE THERMOSTAT IS NOT SET ABOVE THE ROOM TEMPERATURE.
• NOW, CHECK THE CIRCUIT BREAKER AND ENSURE THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ANY
PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WOULD KEEP YOUR AC FROM TURNING ON BECAUSE IT
CONTROLS THE CONDENSING UNIT OR COMPRESSION. YOU SHOULD FIRST CHECK THE 240-VOLT
CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THEN CHECK THE 120-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKER THAT USUALLY CONTROLS
THE FURNACE BLOWER. THEY SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN IN THE "ON" POSITION.
