You can but the unit will have not control over temperature, and you can cause the unit to freeze up or slug the compressor w/ liquid refrigerant causing premature compressor failure. I would recommend replacing the thermostat if it is not holding proper temperature, but if dead set on bypassing it use a volt/ohm meter after unplugging it to find the normally open contacts and wire those wires together taking into consideration that the fan must run constantly with the compressor.

My a/c unit won't stay on.

Does your A/C unit have a manual? and can you specify what goes off? does the flashing temperature ever go off? Also do you have any cooling?

I have a LG LWHD1500ER window air cond. and am wondering if I can plug it into a plug in my bedroom that has nothing else plugged into it? I don't know what a dedicated circuit means?

When you say dedicated circuit, you should have an electrical outlet that was installed just for your air conditioner. This outlet must have it's own circuit breaker that has higher ampere ratings. This ampere rating must correspond to your air condition horse power (HP) e.g. .75 hp, 1 hp, 1.5 hp, 2 hp. You should consult a qualified electrician for your safety.

It was working fine and now the plug trips. We reset and it trips again. No probs with the electric box. Now what could it be? Is there a fuse in the plug?

Hi,
There is a circuit breaker in the plug and it is tripping because the compressor is locked up and will not start...the comprssor is bad...

Fan blows fine not blowing cool air acts like it is kicking on then just kicks in and out what could be the problem

Normally this is a sign of a bad compressor or a bad start capacitor. The capacitor you could do yourself if its the compressor buy a new unit. sorry

Not cooling and tripping breaker

Replace the capacitor. MAKE SURE you unplug, wait for 5 minutes, try starting the unit - WHILE UNPLUGGED, then short the terminals across the capacitor with a well insulated screwdriver.
The capacitor number will most easily be found on ebay or any of the typical parts sites.
Also confirm that your blades of the power plug are clean, not burned or disfigured. If they are, REPLACE the socket that it was plugged into as well.
