AIR CONDITIONER NOT RUNNING & SOME CONTROL LIGHTS ON

Possible Reasons

Recommended Action

Control is in timer mode Refer to you instruction manual
 Evaporative is in pre-cool mode   Wait 5-10 mins for pre-cool mode to finish and evaporative should be fully functional. Pre-cool mode occurs whilst the pads are being wetted and unit is not yet ready to function.
Control is in heat mode in summer or cool mode in winter Use auto mode (recommended unless there is a specific reason not to use it) or heat in winter and cool in summer
One of the controller functions is waiting for something to happen before starting. The delay could be due to 'defrosting', 'delay after restart' or 'delayed fan start on heating' Wait 10 minutes to see if it restarts itself, if not reset the air conditioner
The air conditioner has a 'fan off when temperature ok' mode Check the thermostat temperature
A safety device (usually high pressure) has tripped out Reset the air conditioner (it may be necessary to wait 20-30 minutes before it will restart)
