Yes
There is no reset button on a central air unit, there is a small breaker or fuse box outside next to the unit, it is possible the fuse is blown or breaker tripped.
Have you checked the breaker outside by the unit
It goes through a cable.
The problem is probably outside. Can`t tell you much more than that from here. The condenser unit outside was not running. I checked the circuit breaker box and found the 220 breaker had been switched off. Turned it back on and now it's running and I'm getting cool air.
e120
Even though the A/C unit is outside, the breaker for it will be in the entrance panel box inside your home. It should be clearly marked.
it gets bright outside
a disconnect? if its a switch, turn it all the way off... then all the way on. if it pulls out and has fuses then be sure they work and stick it back in. or it could be that the breaker inside has been tripped. then you would turn it off then on.
False
The two outside switches go halfway down, and the middle one all the way down.
Yes
If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)
