Troubleshooting your GE evaporative cooler when it won't power up

• Check the house circuit breaker for the evaporative cooler. Reset the house circuit breaker if it's tripped.
• If the breaker isn't tripped, then a loose supply wiring connection could be preventing the evaporative cooler from getting power. Shut off the house circuit breaker for the evaporative cooler and check the supply wiring connections. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
• If the supply wiring is okay, check for continuity through the power switch using a multimeter (with electrical power still disconnected from the evaporative cooler). Replace the power switch if your meter measures no continuity through the power switch when the switch is in the on position.
