Air Conditioner Trips Circuit Breaker

Question: My front ac unit blows the circuit breaker after running for about ten minutes. The rear unit is fine.

Robbie: AC systems are the most complex and dangerous of the appliances you have, so giving advise for you to open, check, start, and run compositors or thermostats would not be a good idea. What you can do is check and be sure you have good voltage. But anytime an AC blows a breaker after 10 minutes I suggest you have a qualified tech do the diagnosis. Special tools are required to check amp draws and the internal parts.

NOTE: Even with the 110V turned off you can be injured or killed touching the wrong wires. Don't open the top cover of the AC if you're not trained and qualified.

Good luck,
Robbie
