Hey guys,
My outdoor unit is broke (again, more on that later). Fire up one of the indoor units in either hot or cold and after a few minutes where the fans spin very slowly and the compressor outside doesn't even start, the inside unit(s) close the air direction thingie and the power button starts blinking green 5 times, followed by about 3 secs, then restarts...
What could the problem be?
Ps. Had this or a similar problem about a year and half ago (not sure the blinking sequence was the same), and by then, my wife got hold of a "technician" that was "fixing" another AC in a neighbour...to summ it up, I ended up with the outside unit full of dents and scratches, supposedely 6 probes replaced, refrigerant charge and about €500 bill to pay for --- I don't want to recall this so called technician no way in hell (as an example, the day he was finishing the repair I got home and started talking to him and one of his pearls of wisdom was that for AC units, the condenser's best kept in the sun!!!!!!:mad: I was like, what? you SoB, get the *** outta my place errr
sorry for the testament guys, but I could sure use your help so I won't get conned again!
