You can reset your air conditioner by turning it off at the thermostat and the breaker, waiting, then restoring power. This clears many control faults.
Quick steps:

- Turn the AC breaker Off for 5 minutes.
- Reset any tripped GFCI or outdoor disconnect.
- Replace thermostat batteries if used.
- Restore breaker, wait 10 minutes, set Cool.
