In fact, there are many reasons why your GE air conditioner may fail. Often, the owners decide to make repairs on their own without calling a professional repair technician. In some cases, when the air conditioner has broken down, you can repair or exchange some components yourself. But to eliminate complex breakdowns, it will be needed to refill Freon or perform complex diagnostics of the system, you will have to arrange a maintenance visit.
It is quite difficult to determine the cause of the breakdown independently. But almost all modern models of GE air conditioners are equipped with the so-called self-diagnosis system able to alert about the issue with an error code on the display. After decrypting it (usually the meaning of each code is described in the user manual or on the manufacturer's website), it is possible to determine the faulty node with a high probability. In models without a display, the codes are determined by the blinking of the indicators. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the external manifestations of the breakdown. In case of any malfunction of the air conditioner, the first thing to do is to check for the presence of mains voltage and try to soft reset the device by unplugging it for about a quarter of an hour. To do this, just pull the plug out of the power outlet and then plug it back in when necessary time passes.
Dealing with many different cases of malfunction, we strongly do not recommend further repair. Most often, the owners confuse the real issue and start fixing something else that leads to more serious repairs in the end.
