You can "pump down" the refrigerant back into the condenser using the discharge and suction valves. You would require a set of gauges to watch your pressures as you perform this work. Close your discharge valve and turn on your a/c. But if you're not a licensed HVAC mechanic i would not recommend performing this task. Go the near centers or sites that offers 24/7 Air con emergency services.
The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
Breakers for an outside air conditioner unit are typically located in a disconnect box mounted on the exterior wall near the unit. This box may contain a switch or a circuit breaker that can be used to manually disconnect power to the unit for maintenance or safety. Additionally, the air conditioning unit itself may have an internal breaker or fuse that protects its electrical components. Always ensure the power is turned off before performing any maintenance on the unit.
A split air conditioner is a unit where the condensing unit is outside and the evaporator is inside.
The proper wiring diagram for an AC disconnect unit typically includes connections for the power supply, the air conditioner unit, and the grounding wire. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes when wiring the AC disconnect unit to ensure safety and proper operation.
