problem with GE air con power problem
Hi guys first time poster( hi all)
Got a slight problem with a General Electrics (GE) air conditioning unit AS0Ah12. Went on a call out today, the owner had reported that her unit had stop working. After a bit of fault finding I found out that when the unit was switch on the air handler was working but the outdoor unit was not. There was power going to the air handler from the main supply (a plug system) but no supply was going to the compressor. After more fault finding and playing around no power was coming down the cable between the indoor unit and the outdoor. To see if it was a possible board or switch fault I gave the outdoor unit a permanent live and all worked well. However the problem I now face is I cant get a board from anywhere in the UK bloody GE I have spoken to HRP and a GE supplier but they cannot help I have looked on the unit to see if I can wire from the power supply to the air handler which can be turned off but at the moment I face the problem that the indoor unit can be switch off via the remote but the outdoor unit is on permanent.
Can anyone suggest anything as im having a bit of a blonde moment? The owner doesn’t want to buy a new unit even though I have explained it could be costly and the unit is an old system (R22) there must be away to put an switch able feed????
Help
Kind regards in advance

Hi Richie and welcome.
Is it possible to build a separate relay/contactor into the indoor unit wiring somewhere to switch the outdoor unit?

Re: problem with GE air con power problem
Yes thought of that but, the board is the worst i have ever seen. The power goes in then the printed circuit send the power to the fan which is totally encased looks like it has been sealed ( glued) dont want to risk recking the indoor unit trying to get to the fan unit i was going to put in a spur on the fan so when the unit switch on it sent power to the fan and the out door unit i do have a relay in the top right hand conner i could tap a feed off that i suposse ( i didnt think of that) does anyone sell a circuit board??? i hate GE lol lol

cheers that could be an option, going to see if anyone knows if or where i get a new board or even this one repaired there must be companies out there. Been given a number of a company in Skipton North Yorkshire will give them a ring on monday and see how i get on. What a drama for a silly fault.

DEAR FRIEND,
I THINK THERE IS A CONTROL PROBLAM,because main power supply going out door and indoor directly.then through thermostat controling compressor contactor coil.
So you check control cable power.
