What to check when your air conditioner won't turn on video

less than a minute readMar 09Lyle Weischwill

This video shows you what to check when your central air conditioner won't turn on, including a tripped breaker, dead batteries in the thermostat and an AC disconnect switch that's turned off.

Try these easy HVAC fixes before you call for repair help

  • Check your breaker or fuse box. If your breaker is tripped, flip to off first and then to on. If it immediately trips again, shut down and call a technician.

  • If your thermostat has batteries, replace them.

  • Check near your condenser to see if your AC has a disconnect switch. If so, make sure it's turned on.

  • Still no luck? Shut it down and call in the Sears experts at (888) 831-7779.
