In-Wall A/C Compressor Won't Turn Off - 07/11/03 12:43 AM
I have a through-the-wall air conditioner, 220V, digital settings.
It started misbehaving when I tried to turn it off (by pressing the big red ON/OFF button).
The compressor still runs even though the display indicates that the unit is off.
I pulled the plug immediately--naturally, that shut the compressor. I left the unit unplugged for a few hours and tried again with the same results.
Any ideas as to what is wrong with the thing?
From the little I know about this stuff, if that compressor runs and the rest of the unit doesn't, the compressor will burn out...
