AC not turning on from Thermostat
Posted: Mon May 07, 2012 9:18 pm
Hi...I am am not able to get my Thermostat to start the AC.
I was using a lawn trimmer to clean up over grown grasses near the AC unit outside the house. before that the AC was working fine.
I noticed a thin wire that comes out of my house and goes inside the air conditioner unit outside, is totally stripped on couple of spots and badly eroded at few spots too. This has two thin wires and were in contact with each other. I think that wire is known as the 24V control wire.
Also i noticed that the furnace circuit breaker On the main circuit breaker panel was turned off. I did turn it on, and tried to start the AC from the thermostat. The thermostat was flashing "cool on" but the AC was not kicking in.
Please advice
Thanks and with regards
