A.c. shuts off frequently

I bought an LG L8oo8R air conditioner and used it all summer last year. I stored it in the box .I installed it this summer,and it runs for 10 min,then it shuts off,popping out the reset button.The cord isnt hot,the outlet is fine,i have tried an extention cord to a different circuit, but it still shuts off after 10 min or so.Any ideas?

Have you cleaned the filter? There is a screen filter that either slides in from the top or a vent door opens... You have to clean that once a month (at least)...

If you stored the unit upside down or sideways, the oil may have run out of the compressor. If the unit is reinstalled, it's important to let it sit in the correct position at least 24 hours before starting it back up.

Also check the condenser coil (the part of the unit that's sticks outside) and make sure it's clean. Likewise, check the filter and the evaporator coil (the coil on the inside) to make sure they are both clean.

Last summer we purchased a Friedrich Quietmaster air conditioner. It is a very large unit mounted in the wall. Almost immediately it froze up. We called the installer who notified you and you told him...

This is a social web site or forum

When you say the installer notified us

We are at home like you,we answer questions
as you can,this is not a business

I think you got the wrong site ,you had from last year

Circuit breaker

Happy to assist,

HOW MANY BTU IS THE AIR CONDITIONER?
And is it 110 or 220 line!

If it is using 110 or 115 volts like normal house current and it throws circuit breakers in your electric box,then you need to run a dedicated line just for the Air Conditioner!
Usually this happens to 110 -115 volt air-conditioners that are more than 12,000 BTU and do not have a dedicated electric line in the wall only for the air conditioner!

New air conditioners have a circuit breaker built into the units plug!
And I have seen some that throw that breaker to off frequently even if it's only an electric surge! Which it should not do!
if its the case and it's new, take it back to the store and ask for a different model, size, or brand!
Fedders had an 18,000 BTU/ 110-115 volt unit that did this with every single unit last year! I stopped selling that unit only!!

Make sure that unit is slightly sloped toward the outside. Your unit is either level or more probably leaning to the front.

After storing away for the winter, unit has no power.

Just a wild guess but maybe it's not warm enough to activate the display?

Unit is low on Freon. Take it to a repair shop to find the leak & recharge the unit.
