    Why compressor does not turn on immediately on GE RAREC3A?

      This is normal behavior. The GE Thermostat has a built-in 3-minute OFF timer to prevent the compressor from being turned off and immediately back on.

      In Heat-Pump mode, if Auto Fan is selected, the fan will not turn ON until the compressor turns ON after the 3 minute OFF timer.

      With power removed, check that nothing is obstructing the fan blade and that it spins freely. Also, check the 5 amp Fuse on the board.
