House wont cool ..tried to reset breaker in fuse box and breaker outside...this unit is only just over a yr old . the fan thing outdoors is not kicking on..

If your air fan is running but the outside unit is not functioning, and you notice a constant flashing light inside your house, it could indicate a problem with your HVAC system. Here are some possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Check the circuit breaker: Start by checking the circuit breaker or fuses related to your HVAC system. Ensure that they are not tripped or blown. If they are, reset the breaker or replace the fuse. If the breaker keeps tripping, there may be an electrical issue that requires professional attention.
2. Check the thermostat settings: Verify that your thermostat is set to the desired temperature and mode (cooling). Ensure that the fan is set to "Auto" rather than "On." Sometimes, setting the fan to "On" can result in the fan running continuously but not the outdoor unit.
3. Inspect the outdoor unit: Examine the outdoor unit for any visible signs of damage or obstruction. Ensure that there are no debris, leaves, or other objects blocking the unit. Clear away any obstructions and make sure the unit has proper airflow.
4. Verify the outdoor unit power supply: Confirm that the outdoor unit is receiving power. Check the power switch located near the unit and make sure it is turned on. Also, check if the outdoor unit is properly connected to a power source.
5. Check for error codes or flashing lights: Some HVAC systems have error codes or flashing lights that indicate specific issues. Consult your HVAC system's manual to understand the meaning of the flashing light you're seeing inside your house. It may provide further insights into the problem.
6. Call a professional technician: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's advisable to contact a professional HVAC technician. They have the expertise and specialized equipment to diagnose and repair complex HVAC problems. They can identify any underlying issues with your system and recommend the necessary repairs or replacements.
Remember, working with HVAC systems can be potentially dangerous, and it's crucial to prioritize your safety. If you're uncomfortable or unsure about performing any troubleshooting steps, it's best to seek professional assistance.

are you talking about a central a/c system? the fan that blows is the indoor air fan? check breakers for outside unit. one breaker in the house panel box and a breaker at the outside unit. because other wise tha cap or contactor (for the outside unit) may be bad. both of witch may keep unit from turning on. unless you are knowledgeable about electricity I would not recommend opening the outdoor unit. you could get electrocuted. safety first

Check the fuses and breakers. If there are fuses, they will be in a small box mounted on the outside near the outdoor unit. You will have two fuses in a cartridge that your local hardware store will check for you.

The circuit breakers may be in the main breaker panel in your house . There will be two and more than likely they will be clipped together. Push them all the way back and then all the way forward to reset. If the breakers aren't marked, they will be 30 amp to 50 amp depending on the size of the unit.

Hope this helps, stay cool. mark

Try going outside and locate your outdoor unit. If the thermostat is on, and the fan is running inside, the outdoor unit should be on as well. If it isn't, locate the circuit breakers in your breaker box. There will be two. Trip them back and all the way forward.

If the unit is running outside, sometimes the air cond contractor forgets to come back and charge the unit with refrigerant. In this case be sure to contact the air cond contractor that installed the unit.

Check fuses and circuit breakers to the outdoor unit. Fuses should be right next to the unit in a box on the side of the house. Easiest thing to do is replace them both. Circuit breakers are in you circuit breaker box. There will be two of them, probably 30 or 40 amp maybe 50 amp if a big house. Trip breakers all the way back and then all the way forward. Hope this works.

Hi, this is a split system Goodman. With the j36 in the model number, that tells me it is a 3 1/2 ton unit. If the outdoor condensing unit is off and doing nothing at all, no fan on top running, no compressor or anything, it sounds as though you have lost power to it. The high voltage to the outdoor unit is seperate from the indoor unit. When it is not running, you have only warm air from the indoor unit. Before I have you do anything, go out to the unit. Take a water hose being careful not to bend the fins on the coil, and wash just the coil very good. If its dirty, it can cause the pressures in the system to rise very high and blow a fuse or trip a breaker. When you are done washing it, you should have a electrical box mounted on the wall that feeds power to this unit. First, find your main breaker box to your home. It should be where the meter is. Find it and it will have several different breakers in it. They may or may not be marked. Look for a double - pole 30 to 40 amp breaker that should say a/c, if it was marked. If not, look and touch them, it will be 2 breakers together and feel if they are tripped. If so, turn it off with a hard motion. Then, back on the same way. Watch to see if it holds and does not trip on you. If its ok, go to the outdoor unit. Make sure the thermostat is on auto/cool and turned way down for it to come on. If it was a breaker and its running, more then likely the dirt from coil caused it to over amp and trip. Now, if there is power and breaker is on but still not on, open the box at the unit. It may have a pull out type plug, or breakers. If it has a breaker, turn it off and on like the other. If it doesn't, behind a plastic panel you will have 2- fuses. Turn off power at main box breaker, and remove both fuses. They are cheap, so go get 2 at a hardware store and replace them. You can have them ohmed out to see if one was bad. After installing the new ones and you turn it on, and all is good, that was your problem. May sure you have power to this outside unit. If it was a blown fuse or tripped breaker and this continues to happen, you may have a internal compressor or condenser fan motor problem. Try the things I have said first. This may be the only problem you have. I do this for a living, 33 years and a licensed contractor. Please keep me posted and I will continue to help you if you need me. Let me know after you check everything.
Sincerely,

check circuit breaker in house panel labeled a/c or outdoor unit
check box near outdoor unit for a breaker or fuses
some thermostats have a 5 min delay when switched to a/c
check for external reset buttons at outdoor unit some are red depending on brand
check that all wires are intact at outdoor unit------none cut or hanging and not hooked to anything?

check your house circuit breakers first that should be labeled heatpump or outdoor unit
make sure it is on and or not tripped
then if you have a box outside near the outdoor unit open it up and see if there is a breaker or maybe fuses that could be blown

R--redwire-power y-yellow wire -cool g-green---fan w-white -heat. If you turned it off &back on too fast, then you probably did blow the fuse on the outside unit or triped a breaker, check your fuse box ,or on the outside wall, theres a gray box called the disconnect box that sometime, house 2- fuses or a plain pull-out with no fuses.

Sounds like you either blew a transformer, have a bad circuit breaker or blew the main fuse in the outside disconnect. If the indoor unit is still blowing air (no matter what temperature) start looking at the power supply to the outdoor unit. From the circuit breaker, the power will go to a small box located within a few feet from the outside unit. This box will have either a lever on the side or you will be able to open the box and pull out the fuses. From this box the power goes to the condensor. The first thing you should do is to turn off the breaker to the outside unit. Flip it back on and if you have a call for cooling, after about 3 minutes the outdoor unit should start. If it does not, shut off power again to the unit by switching off the breaker, go outside and pull out the fuses in the disconnect box. Using a multi meter, check for continuity thru the fuses. If you have continuity, call your technician. If one or both fuses show no sign of continuity, replace the fuse(s). Make sure that the thermostat is working and sending a signal to the indoor air handler. You may be able to check this by turning the fan switch to "Fan" and see if the blower turns on. You may just have a bad thermostst. Caution should be used anytime you are near electrical components. If you do not have the skill-set required to test electrical equipment, leave it to a proffessional.
