AC WON'T TURN ON FIX

Is your Home AC not turning on? What can you do? You need air conditioning! Well this video helps you hopefully figure out how to fix the problem of your AC not turning on. These steps shouldn't cost you money. My AC would not turn on and it was 100 degrees outside! We called the AC repair guy and we would have had to wait for several days for him to come out. I figured it out well before then. The problem with my AC not turning on was that the drain pipe was clogged so i simply ran a wire down it to get it unclogged and BOOM! working AC. Good luck fixing your air conditiong! And i hope that helped.

[@delroyjenkins499]

Thank you so much! Our drain was clogged with a lot of brown, clay-like silt! Now our system is running like new!

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

+DELROY JENKINS oh man! Glad I could help :) what that clay is, from what I have found, is dust in the air, getting past the filter then getting caught on the evaporator unit during the condensation it creates by cooling the air.... Slowing down the melecular movement of the water molecules (causes condensation on the cold thing-evaporator) then running down the evaporator, collecting in the pipe and condensation tray below the evaporator.... In short... Change your filter regularly and make sure there is no space for air to pass by it letting dust in the system...

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Thank you so much! I suffered last night. 85 in my house. An unusual few hot days in NYC in April. My issue was a switch that was halfway on/off. Switched to “on”. Saved me from calling a technician. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Glad I could help. If it keeps happening you may have another issue going on.

[@jojb411]

Will be watching!

[@jw11432]

Thank you! Just saved me from Texas summer heat! It was the drain pipe, I looked down in there and saw water standing. I tried my super plunger (pump handle type) and it freed up whatever was causing the issue. Water still can be seen, but I suppose that's expected to a degree. At least now I know about this aspect of my AC system and can start keeping up with the service for it by adding some white vinegar to help keep it clean.

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Glad I could help. The build up is likely from dust collecting on the evaporator and then being dragged into the pipe. Change your filter regularly for fewer cloggs.

[@iamtonii3613]

The breaker option really helped. Thank you 🙏🏽 💯

[@moisesbonilla9362]

Thank you sir! You solved my problem, my AC was turning on every 4 hours than it would turn off so I replaced the capacitor and it immediately turned on than an hour later the AC turned off again so I went to the attic and saw the aluminum pan and it had a safety switch and it was full of water and the pipe that the water runs out was clogged so I scooped the the water out and ran a snake through the pipe and poured water into the pipe to flush it out and the AC turned on right away. Thank you! You solved my problem.

[@gardensofthegods]

Try to Help You. I remember that I had originally tried to turn the circuit breakers off and then on a while back but I tried to do everything again just now anyway and no luck. But the funny thing is ..in the circuit board in my home some of them are really easy to flip.. those are the playing Square black ones... others are really hard to do and look a little different and I'm wondering now if some of them are marked wrong because the ones for the AC and the heat are very easy to flip whereas some of the ones for my kitchen are really hard to flip.. do you think it sounds like they got the wiring mixed up when they in the electrical box ?

check your filters and look at the coil on the inside to see if it's dirty if not called a hvac tech and he will check your refrigerant and make sure your compressor is working correctly and there isn't and blockages in the system

[@Reiki_Bee]

I came across your video while trying to "troubleshoot" a recent problem with my A/C system... 86'F in the house, and the A/C wouldn't come on. I cleaned the condensation coils, flushed the drain, and changed the filter... Also clicked the thermostat and the main breaker switches "off" and "on" again... And nothing working, until I re-watched your video. It also inspired me to take a closer look at my overflow sensor cup thingie... Thinking that maybe there might be something (ie. dust/dirt) interfering with the sensor wire despite the overflow cup being completely dry? So I took a Q-tip to carefully clean inside the cup... Found a small hole (where the overflow water comes up from) and poked the Q-tip inside that hole... And VOILÀ!! That did the trick!! The A/C clicked on immediately!! That tiny hole inside the overflow drainage cup was blocked with dirt/debris and interfering with the sensor. I wanted to pass this along just in case it's helpful to someone else as well. Thanks for your video!!

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Glad I could help. Be sure to change your filter often to avoid debris build up, is what I am finding out. Super glad to see another person found their solution ☺️

Mines as a backed up pipe but now I have to figure how to unblock it. I did drain it a bit but I don't know how long that's going to last

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Gerardus Pino hope it flows a while for u!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

For folks who are reading this years later.. Here's an easy fix: If you have compressed air, stick the spout or nozzle into the end of the drain line where the water flows out into the floor drain or sump.. and blast some air into there. Usually that will be enough to un-clog whatever is blocking it. (you may have to tape or just put your hand on the open end T if you have one up by the drain fitting on top of the furnace)
