Air conditioner keeps shutting off leaving an E1 message
Unplug it. Wait a few minutes. Hold in the Power button while plugging it back in and keep the button held down until a beep is heard (~5 sec). Unplug the air conditioner, then plug it in again.
Note: some units require using the Mode switch, rather than Power.

Your power botton went bad. I took the circuit board out and chanded the timing switch with the power switch and the E1 went away and the AC unit works fine now.

I read on another site that there is no solution. Word for word the person stated that the damn thing was "fried." and to take it back. Not sure what he meant by taking it back? Certainly he was prematurely assuming that the AC unit was new. Well, mine is not new. Actually, I bought it a year ago today, and it blew out today. Tomorrow it will be out of warranty. Imagine that ****!! I have owned 3 AC's in the last 5 years and each time they blew out, it was on July 15th, which is also my birthday. Three birthdays ruined by this ****, and then this is even speaking of the ODDS of this happening three times on the same day. Come on now, where are my lottery winnings???

Is it possible you still have the owner manual? It will have the reset codes for you listed. Also, check the filter, make sure it is clean and that the evap and condenser are clean as well. Thanks

Display Codes:
E1-Automatic filter clean
reminder.
Turn the air conditioner OFF and
unplug it. NOTE: The air conditioner must be unplugged for the automatic
filter clean timer to reset.
Clean the filter. See the Care and Cleaning section in your use&care manual. After cleaning, replace the filter and plug the air conditioner back in.

I get the E1 error. I turn off the AAC unit and unplug it but it will run for 3 min or less and same problem. I have cleaned the filter very well! I do not have the book of instructions and error codes.

yea i have the same problem, i see E1 error code and i cant turn it off and on and it will run for 3 minutes
i have the exact same problem
Yeah, me too. Please tell me what to do. I got real cold so I decided to turn the air down. Well, none of the buttons would work. I couldn't even turn the damn thing off. So, I just unplugged it. Then when I plugged it back in, it would NOT work at all!!! What the hell happened??? When I plug it in each time, all I get is an "E1" in the termostat window. This is ********. Please help! I can't live without air.
Clean out the drain pan
