If your AC compressor doesn't turn on when switched on, it could be due to several reasons. Common issues include a blown fuse, a malfunctioning thermostat, or low refrigerant levels. Additionally, the compressor itself may be faulty or there could be an electrical issue preventing power from reaching the unit. It's best to consult a professional technician to diagnose and resolve the problem.
