Why GE AHTK18BA does not start?
- B
  Benjamin CooperAug 6, 2025
  If your GE Air Conditioner isn't starting, there are several potential causes: * **Unplugged Unit:** Ensure the air conditioner plug is fully inserted into the outlet. * **Blown Fuse/Tripped Breaker:** Check your house's fuse or circuit breaker box. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary. * **Power Failure:** After power is restored, the unit will automatically restart with the last used settings. Note that there's a 3-minute delay to protect the compressor, so cooling might not start immediately. * **Tripped Current Interrupter:** Press the RESET button on the power cord plug. If the button doesn't stay engaged, stop using the air conditioner and contact a qualified technician.

  If your GE Air Conditioner is freezing up, it means that ice is blocking the airflow, preventing the unit from cooling the room. To resolve this, set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool and adjust the temperature setting as high as possible.
