Simple Fixes for Common Appliance Problems - Air Conditioner

By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine

If you turn your central air conditioner on, off and then on again in rapid order, chances are you'll blow a fuse or shut off a circuit breaker or the air conditioner simply won't respond. That's because the compressor (in the outdoor condensing unit) may have stopped in a high compression mode, making it difficult to start until the compression releases. Older condensing units may switch the compressor on anyway, which causes the circuit to overload and blow a fuse. Newer, “smarter” condensing units will prevent this blunder by delaying the AC’s “on” function for a few minutes. It's easy to mistake this delay with a faulty air conditioner. Be patient and give the air conditioner about five minutes to come back on.
To determine if you have a blown fuse, locate the special fuse block near the outside unit. Pull out the block and take the whole thing to the hardware store. A salesperson can test the cartridge fuses and tell you if you need to replace them.
Another simple reason your AC might not come on: You've signed up for a cost discount with your electric company in exchange for limited air conditioning during high-demand periods, and you're in an “off” period. If you can't remember, call your electric company to find out. You don't want to pay the repair technician to drive out and explain this program to you!
