Hi Tammy, Try http://home.appliance.manualsonline.com/

You probably have a circuit board failure. On the board there are micro-relays that control power to the compressor. And in that relay the switch that is normally open is stuck closed.

Condensation is normal but window air conditioners bases must be tilted to the outside of the window so the condensation drains outside. The drain hole in the pan can plug with dirt overfilling the pan allowing the water to leak inside your home.

At your AHU there may be a terminal block that has a C terminal. If not, you will need to locate C. Your outdoor units control wire should have 1 that connects to the Y signal allowing 24v to pass from Y at the t-stat to a wirenut at the air handler, from that wirenut to the contactor. And C comes from the contactor to a wirenut at the airhandler and to C side of transformer. Common wire colors from o.d.unit are red=24v and White from the o.d. unit, (NOT THE WHITE FROM T-STAT!) is the common. The transformer may also have a tag/sticker that states 24v and common with a color of wire for C. And if the t-stat takes batteries that you need to install, you shouldn't need C wired in. C is there so you don't need batteries, if it has a battery option.

The window units normally have a sensor thats attached to the front of the indoor coil. This controls the thermostat. I usually pull this sensor away from the coil because it stops cooling before the room is cool. It is attached to the cold coil so it senses the coil temp, not the room temp. You can normally see it when you remove the air filter. Don't break it! It may be a wire or small copper tube

Hello David, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off my understanding you need the dimensions of your Frigidaire air conditioner, FAS296N2A2. I was unable to locate that information. I would recommend performing a generic search online to locate the dimensions. Best of luck! -Matt

Hello Jordan, thank you for your inquiry!

From my understanding the fan speeds on your Frigidaire air conditioner changes on its own. Do you own a remote with your air conditioner? It could be getting accidentally pressed and that is causing your fan to switch. If you do not have a remote with your air conditioner it could be a potential issue within your control panel or keypad. I would then recommend performing a reset on your air conditioner and you can do that by unplugging the power cord and pressing the reset button. Once the reset button has been pressed you would need to hit the test button and then you should be able to plug it back in. If this does not resolve your issue I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you avoid any unnecessary part purchases. -Matt

Thank you for your post, Inez! I understand you would like to know how to plug up the sensing element inside of your Frigidaire air conditioner. In order to further assist you may I have your model number? You can locate your serial tag (which lists your model number) on the side of your air conditioner. With that information I can further assist you. -Matt

Either the compressor relay has become stuck (most likely) or there is a wiring fault internally where power is being shunted directly to the compressor (also possible). Check the condition of the wiring around the compressor start capacitor and, if you see melted wires, there's your culprit. (NOTE: Melted wires all need to be replaced to eliminate possible fire hazard.)

not good. time for a repair before it burns.

The amount of condensate depends upon the relative humidity of the air. When the humidity is high, the AC unit will create more condensate and when humidity is low less is created. As long as the AC unit is working properly, I would not get overly concerned about it.

You are low on refrigerant. You need to find a service location that can recharge it for you.

Compressor may not be turning off due to satisfied temperature, it may be turning off on safety trip such as high/low pressure, current overload. When the thermostat is set to a certain temperature, the compressor cuts off once the temperature has been reached or satisfied, try a lower setting to see if the compressor satisfies the setting demand. Some thermostats may be programmed by the installer to perform only a given number of cycles per hour, if your thermostat has this feature, eliminate the setting.

Dear Kayla Katt plz follow this link it will be help you about your query http://www.frigidaire.com/Air-Conditioning-Dehumidifiers/Air-Conditioners/FRA065AT7/

Some of the new style Air conditioners have a auto time delay built into them for power failures. If power fails or you unplug the unit, they will not come back on for about 3 to 5 minutes. This is a safety feature to keep power failures from damaging the compressor. Keep it plugged in for 5 minutes and try again. If still no go then call for service. You should have a 1 year warranty on it.

I appreciate your post, Tamara Brazile! I see that your sleep button on your Frigidaire air conditioner continues to beep. Do you see any error codes on your air conditioner? Additionally, could you please provide me with your model number? You can locate the serial tag (which lists your model number) on the outside frame of your air conditioner or under the front panel. With that additional information I can further assist you. -Matt
