Model JHAA/C6V1 - 6000btu AC not cooling.

[Max Bladwin]

Hello,
I could use some help with my AC. Its my 1st time using it. The ac compressor does not kick on. I have the control plan set to "ac", the thermostat set to "decrease" and the fan switch set to low. When it on all i hear is the fan amd no compressor. I checked the breaker and the 2 reset buttons on the back of the unit and nothing seems wrong.
Any ideas?

Might help if we knew what TM to look at?

Im using TM 9-4120-403-14.

Does it have refrigerant in it? Usually these get drained prior to going to drmo. You might be able to jump out pressure switches to see if the compressor is good.

I will have to pull the lid to verify if it has refrigerant.
If its empty can I put a different refrigerant in it as R20 is being phased out?

 

[NDT]

Do you mean R22? That is more or less all that will work in there.

 

[Guyfang]

Yep, R22. This was a very dependable Reefer/Heater, so insure you have coolant and start on troubleshooting, page 4-16.

Thank you for all the responses. I will start working on it and post my findings.
