  If your EdgeStar Air Conditioner isn't working, here's what you can check: * Ensure it's properly plugged into a grounded outlet. * If the LCDI power cord has tripped, press the Reset button on the cord. * Try moving the unit to another outlet and check your circuit breaker, referring to the rating label on the back of the unit for amperage. * Drain the unit if the water reservoir is full, then restart it. * If no indicator lights turn on, it might be a disconnected control panel, in this case contact customer service.

  If your EdgeStar Air Conditioner isn't cooling, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the unit is set to cooling mode and that the set temperature is lowered. * The compressor may take up to 3 minutes to turn on, possibly longer if it's too warm. * The ambient temperature might be too high; try to lower the room temperature below 90°F. * Check if the filter is dusty or blocked and clean it if necessary. * Make sure there are no obstructions in the exhaust hose and port.
