Snowflake blinking and air conditioner won't turn on.

Blinking snowflake means it's on time delay for cooling to come on (usually 5 minute time delay to prevent compressor short cycling). Solid snowflake means cooling is on

The flashing snowflake means it is in the cooling mode, but is waiting for itself to 'time out' after a call for cooling. It should be about a 5 minute delay then should come on automatically. At that poing, the flashing snowflake becomes steady.

Try it one more time and set the timer on your smart-phone to ten minutes before you touch it again. If that time elapses and no cooling and it is still flashing there's possibly a problem in the thermostat that will necissitate replacement.

It probably has stopped outdoor unit and the blinking is to be done when working anamoni.afto heating and not to bring in cold air flashes the LIGHT as long heated air into the condenser.

If the thermostat has a blinking snowflake then it is in time delay mode which sometime can take between 5 to 7 minutes before it will turn the AC and Fan On......Then it will go to a solid snowflake.
When you turned it to fan On it starts the Fan right away..... After the snow flake has went to solid check to see if the fan is running and then look outside to see if the Fan Blade is turning on the AC..... The fan blade comes on the same time as the compressor does. Then with the fan running hold your hand above the air stream above the AC and if you can noticeablely feel warm to hot air comeing out the Top then the compressor is running also. If the outside unit is not running I would check to make sure the Main Breakers are turned ON.... After the AC has ran for a few minutes feel the copper lines that go into the house the smaller line should feel warm to hot and the bigger lines with insulation on it should feel cool to cold and sweating with beads of moisture on it..... That is a quick test to see if the unit is working properly.....If you have a Thermentor and can Check the Temperature of the Return Air and the Supply Air .. You should have about 20 Degree F Between the Supply and Return........ 75* Return - 55* Supply would Equal 20* TD Across the Coil......
That is about all you can do to check on your own....... If the compressor is not coming on or the lines are not the temperature difference then you will need to get professional help for your Air Conditioning System..... Goood Luck Hope this Helps.........

check power to outside unit, check if it has a fused disconnect, if you have power and no blown fuses it could be a blown capicator that starts the fan and compressor...............

propably your unit is inverter,if it is has auto diagnosis and you must see this from the remote control.

When the snowflake is blinking the thermostat in in a delay mode designed to protect your compressor. If it does not stop blinking in 15min the stat is bad otherwise something is wrong with the AC

check the refrigerant it might have 2 be recharged

i saw that my snowflake was blinking while the unit was in the 5 minute lock out state (after power up), but went to steady after that.

Your snowflake should flash for about five minutes, that is the time delay built into the thermostat. It should stop after that and your system should begin to function.
