If your air conditioner is not working properly, for example, it’s not blowing cold or hot air, showing a blinking light, or not responding to the remote, a simple reset can often solve the issue.
This guide explains how to safely reset your AC unit.
⚙️ When to Reset Your AC
Resetting your air conditioner helps clear temporary electrical errors or system memory issues.
It’s a good first step before requesting maintenance if you experience:
No air output or weak airflow
Blinking lights on the indoor unit
The AC not responding to the remote
Unexpected noise or irregular cooling/heating
💡 Tip: Always try resetting the unit before contacting maintenance, it often fixes minor errors instantly.
🧾 Step-by-Step: How to Reset Your Air Conditioner
1. Turn Off the AC
Use the remote control to turn off the unit completely.
If the AC doesn’t respond, use the wall power switch (if available).
2. Unplug the Power Cord
Carefully unplug the AC power cord from the outlet.
⚠️ Safety Note: Do not pull the cord with force or touch it with wet hands.
3. Wait 10–20 Minutes
Leave the unit unplugged for at least 10–20 minutes.
This allows any stored electrical charge to reset the system completely.
4. Plug the Power Cord Back In
After waiting, plug the power cord back into the outlet firmly.
5. Turn the AC Back On
Turn the unit back on using the remote.
Set it to your usual mode (Cool, Heat, or Dry) and adjust the temperature.
💡 Tip: Wait a few minutes after turning it on, most units need some time to stabilize before blowing air normally.
🧰 If the Problem Continues
If your AC still isn’t working correctly after the reset, please submit a repair request.
