Can't give you absolute factual answer to that question. Twenty four hours is actually longer than I would wait but if you want to be safe MY advice is to wait for 24 hours. Time cannot be turned back to undo mistakes. :-)

I connected my brand new one Danby DPAC 7099 unit, but is not cooling the room. It only goes to 1 degree less than the actual temperature of the room and stays there forever. Is there something I should...
Your question "Should I wait before starting the unit, after bringing it from the store?" may be the answer to the problem. If the unit was turned on it's side or back when you brought it home in your car? Then yes. that is the problem. When AC Units, Dehumidifiers, etc are turned on their side or back, the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil runs out of the compressor. It should not be operated, unit it's been setting upright for 6 to 8 hours. This allows all the fluids to run back into place.

If the above is the case. Turn the unit Off and unplug it for at least 6 hours. Hopefully, all the fluids will return to where they are supposed to be.

I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

My amana window unit blew a fuse in my fuse box I replace it now thw window unit won't come on
Candy, if the fuse blew in the first place, it was either overloaded or the AC unit has an electrical short in it. However, it may not come on now, without turning the Master Switch on the AC unit OFF and unplugging it from the outlet. Wait 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Then turn the unit ON. If it functions properly then the problem is solved. If not, the circuit board in the unit has been fried and will have to be replaced. Also, be sure that only the AC is plugged in to this receptacle. More than one will overload the fuse/circuit.

Hope this information helped you. Please rate my reply.

Bought used window unit. I opened the box and it was upside down. There was no indicators on the box for right side up. When I took it out and set it upright, I noticed oil was all over the unit. I let...
When any a/c compressor is turned upside down, you will have a burn out when it is turned on. The oil runs down into the system and mixes with the freon, this will cause the compressor to burn out with in minutes. Even if your leave it upright for 24 hours, you may get lucky and it will run, but I am glad you got your money back or you would be stuck with nothing but junk.

I bought hitachi 1.5 ton AC in 2005. i have not used it for 4 years now. its in the pack. will the AC work now? can i get it installed now? my mobile number 919845671017
Hi, You shouldn't have any problem with having it installed as long as the compressor section was stored in a upright position. Air Conditioners set for years on shelves at refrigeration parts houses, and are sold every day. If the outdoor compressor/condenser unit has been store in the upright position, you will be fine. Never lay a unit that has a compressor in it on its side, as this will burn it out on start up. You will be fine.

We have an amana ac and no manual. The model number is not visible and we can't get the ac to go below 75 degrees. What do we do and how can we obtain the elusive manual?
Here is a link to contact Amana.I could not find a free download for a manual,however I am sure you will need to find out the model number somehow.The model number should be on it somewhere.If it is a unit where you have to mount the casing and then slide the unit into the casing,it should be on the back somewhere once you pull it out.That's all I have for now.If that does not work,Amana should be able to tell you where it is with some description of your unit.Good luck!

Amana thru the wall ac unit won't turn off
The adjustment knob on the unit does not turn down how do you get the knobs off? Can we replace the control unit with one that is touch control? Could the problem of it not turning down be the thermostat? It is an Amana PTC153A35AD wall unit.

Amana Model GUVA090AX50 furnace/AC unit installed 2002. Thermostat calls for heat. fan blows, igniter glows, but no gas... thus no flame, etc. No loose connections found. What next...
I hadone of these installed about the same time. About a month & a half ago, i woke to the same problem except the burner would light but almost immediately go out. It cycled throught 4 more times before timing out. I cleaned the end of the thermocouple (located in the flame path on the right hand side) & voila'. I just came home to the same problem again, so it looks like I'm off to the parts store tomorrow. Cleaning it again did restart the furnace. Hope thus helps.
