My Carrier 21000 BTU air conditioner (model YCB213E built in 1996) has always worked perfectly until yesterday. When I pushed the red button to turn it on - nothing happened.

The REALLY nice part about 1996 AirConditioners...
They most LIKELY use R134A refrigerant (NON-CFC still reasonably priced (even in CALIFORNIA ))...

Again...

Just like REFRIGERATORS.. pretty straight forward.

- low voltage contactor SWITCHES LINE VOLTAGE
direct to the starter capacitors & the Compressor
(CAUTION: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ).

>> Check your LINE VOLTAGES first.

>> Check your transformer voltages SECOND.

>> Check you wire CONNECTIONS: after 22 years
of service... those contacts can fail and simply need
to be cleaned and RETERMINATED.

>> Check the CONTACTOR switch to assure
LINE VOLTAGE is present on ALL contacts.
(most contactors can be MANUALLY operated

USE a quality lube to soften those joints and GENTLY
remove any burned contacts. PROPERLY strip... and
use ANTI-OXIDENT compound (sparingly) on ALL
mating surfaces before REASSEMBLY...

You can do this:

SOURCE: 2004 Honda Accord Air Conditioner Not Working

Sorry for the delayed response. For future reference, the blower motor resistor in an 04' Honda Accord is located under the glove box and a little to the left if you are facing it (the glove box). You just need to pull out the plastic panel (yes, you can just pull it out by hand, no tools needed for that). It should be right on the fire wall with a plug going into it. If you reach in there and pull the plug (it has a little notch so it clips into the resistor more securely; make sure you push the clip in) it should have 4 flat prongs on it that go into the resistor. The resistor itself will have 2 phillips head screws that are holding it into the fire wall. Unscrew them and you have the resistor. If you can unscrew both screws before unplugging, it will be easier to see how it unplugs. I know this sounds complicated but once you get in there you will notice it's fairly easy to change out.

Have a carrier zonemaster air conditioner and no operating instructions can you help

At the risk of seeming smart, try a few knobs buttons or pad pushes. I suspect it has enough safety built in the avoid an unsafe or damage the unit. But see if you try these things maybe you can tell us what it doesn't do.
