Frigidaire Air conditioner: fas296n2a2 Compressor

Frigidaire Air conditioner: fas296n2a2 Compressor never runs or runs silently... No cooling. looking for proper check for functional parts (thermostat never sending "start" control signal? Compressor not responding to start signal? Stuck "5 minute timer" not allowing compressor to ever start?). unit is 3 years old. Capacitor replaced last year. It helped with a similar problem at that time. Capacitor replaced yesterday but no change in function. I can not hear a "hum" or "click" when unit should begin cooling. Unit appears to be mostly solid state with no moving parts in control panel. Ribbon cable (6 - 10 wires approx) connects control panel to... Not certain Power distribution board?

Do you have an amp meter? and volt meter. Are you sure that the compressor is getting power? The click may simply be a relay closing but no power. Check both sided of the relay. You will need to trace the power and make sure that the compressor is getting power. Then check the amps to see how much power it's pulling.

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

My compressor continues to run even when I turn unit off. It runs in all settings as well. Is this a control board issue?

Hello David Forgey, thanks for your post!

Based off the information you have provided the compressor within your Frigidaire air conditioner continues to run when turned off and in different settings. It could be an issue within your control panel or a problem within the wiring harness. I would perform a reset on your air conditioner by unplugging the power cord for ten minutes. If that does not correct the issue you may want to consult with professional technician for proper repairs. Hope this helps. -Matt

Frigidaire airconditioner compressor keeps running after turning the unit off

Thanks for the post, friend!

I understand that the compressor continues to run after your Frigidaire air conditioner has turned off. From that information it sounds like there could be a possible issue within your control panel or relay. I would recommend a reset on the appliance, to perform a reset unplug the power cord you will see a test button, push that button and you will hear a click. You would then press the reset button you will hear a click again signifying that the appliance has been reset. Then plug your air conditioner back in. If you continue to have an issue with your compressor I would seek assistance from a professional. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

Whats wrong when my unit coll good and runs good but when I turn it off the compressor keeps on running

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand the compressor to your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAM187S2A, runs all the time. I also see that no matter what option you put in on, including "OFF", the compressor will stay on, unless you unplug the appliance. There could be a couple different possibilities with this occurring. It could possibly be the switch behind the control board. It could possibly be the control board. It could possibly be something completely separate that is causing the compressor to stay on when you plug your air conditioner in. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine the exact cause. Hope this is helpful.

Why is my air conditioner not blowing cold air

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAC107P1A, comes on with the compressor running, but the air is not cold. First, check to see that the temperature sensing element, located behind air filter, is not touching a cold coil. If it is, straighten the element away from the coil. Secondly, try resetting to a lower temperature. Lastly, the compressor may have shut-off by changing modes. Wait approximately 3 minutes and listen for compressor to restart when set in the COOL mode. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your air conditioner status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-
