How To Reset Air Conditioning Unit

If you think your AC isn’t working, then we recommend resetting it back to normal. Resets are a solution for AC units that don’t blow out the chill settings you activated. Power outages will also deactivate your AC unit, requiring you to do a manual reboot to bypass the surge protectors of your building.

Why Many Electronics Work Better After Restarting Them

As with most electronics, rebooting enables your AC to recalibrate. Repowering your AC can cause it to recognize its failure and even correct it. Here are some steps to take when rebooting your AC.

Find Your Power Supply, and Safely Turn It Off

Some AC units are equipped with a reset button, which restarts your unit with a single press. Manual reboots, however, are necessary if your system doesn’t have a reset. Manual reboots, instead, use the power switch of your system, which is found on the compressor. Be sure to:

• Organize yourself
• Use safety equipment
• Cut the power
• Let your unit sit

Giving Your Appliance Time to Dissipate Power

Powering your unit off immediately stops any malfunctions it has. Residual power, as it sits within your AC, will lead your AC to keep cycling its malfunction. You have to let the energy in your unit run out before repowering it. Self-checks automatically happen when you turn your system back on.

Make Sure It Isn’t Routine

If you find that you’re constantly restarting your AC unit, then old, clogged filters might be the problem. Bad filters can cause air pressure to build up within and stall your unit. A weak power supply, lacking sufficient energy for your AC, is another likely reason why you’re always resetting your unit.
