Here are some DIY troubleshooting tips and advice to help you to get your air conditioner to turn on automatically: 1. I would check the power source to begin with. Sometimes the breaker needs to be reset. Look for the electrical fuse panel and find the breaker or fuse for your air conditioner. If you can't find it look for a secondary panel. Once located you will need to reset the breaker switch or replace the fuse. 2. Set the temperature on the thermostat to it's coolest setting and wait a few minutes to see if the air conditioner starts. |

Unfortunately if none of these ideas work you will probably need to call a professional to come over and take a look at your air conditioning unit. Related Tips and Advice:

Check to see if your thermostat working properly. Only do this if you're
comfortable with working on electrical parts. Make sure the power to the air
conditioner is turned off. Unscrew and remove the thermostat cover. Loosen the
wire connected to the Y terminal and set it aside so the bare wire is not
touching anything. Turn the power back on. Hold the wire by its insulated
coating and touch it to the R terminal. If your air conditioner starts working
it means you have a short in your thermostat.
