A broken air conditioning system is probably the worst thing that could happen to you during summer. This tends to happen more often than not when the weather outdoors is warm, of course. However, it is never as bad as when it breaks down and you find that you are not prepared financially for this big of an emergency. You might feel frustrated and powerless considering the sudden change of atmosphere that you and your family might experience in your home. If the problem is not a result of any damage to the AC components, you can reset your system and restore the normal functioning of the air conditioner right away.
Resetting Your AC Unit? What’s That?
Resetting your air conditioning system is the easiest way to restart your system and restore its services. The following are various methods that you can use to get your system up and running in no time at all:
1. Find The Reset Button And Press It
Nowadays, most air conditioning units come with a reset button. If you are not sure where to find it, you can consult the system manual or call our expert technicians at Yes!.
2. Turning Off The Air Conditioner Through The Thermostat Interface
Turning off the air conditioner ensures that no air conditioning processes are running. Therefore, this brings to a halt all the processes and realigns all the components for a future booting or startup process.
3. Resetting The Breaker For The Air Conditioner In The Central Circuit Breaker Unit
After turning off the air conditioner through the thermostat, it is time to reset the breaker in the central circuit breaker unit. Essentially, this relieves the system of any current flowing into the conditioner and resets the air conditioner’s programming. After this process, wait for approximately 30 minutes before proceeding with the next step.
4. Turn On The Thermostat And Set It To ”Cool” Mode
Essentially, this is time to reboot the system. However, switch the thermostat to cool mode and ensure that it is about 5 degrees cooler than the overall room temperature.
Resetting Air Conditioners With No Reset Button
Most air conditioners come with a reset button attached to the compressor unit. Typically, it is a red button and is very visible to an onlooker. To reset your air conditioner, all you have to do is press the button, and you won’t have to worry about all the heavy lifting. However, in the particular case where your air conditioner does not have a reset button, follow the following steps to reset your unit.
First, turn off the power supply connected to your compressor unit. You can do this through the shutdown panel located next to the unit. Once the power supply is off, shut down the power supply through the unit breaker from the circuit breaker box.
Disconnect the system component from the power supply points by unplugging the system. This will ensure that the air conditioning unit gets deprived of any power. Give the system 30 minutes to cool down before plugging it back into the power supply.
Before turning on the AC unit breaker, ensure that the thermostat can operate in ”cool” mode. Finally, turn on the external power supply.
If none of the above procedures work, your system could be experiencing problems with the power supply or a dirty filter. Additionally, the failure could be due to problems with the internal workings of the air conditioner. To identify the problems and fix your air conditioner from this point, you should talk to a specialist. You can contact Yes! experts and get them to evaluate your system efficiently and effectively.
Resetting your air conditioning system is a simple do-it-yourself task. However, if you encounter missing breaker covers or exposed cables, seeking a professional’s help immediately is advisable. An exposed air conditioning unit breaker can lead to electrocution and damage to the system and yourself. Therefore, unless you are a professional and have an extensive understanding of how the AC systems work, call Yes! experts if resetting does not work.
