No Longer Sold at Lowe's (08.07.2020)
the above information was from Lowe's Website, my unit was purchased there.
Please comment below if you have had this issue or know how to go about repairing my GE Appliance... I have settled the replacement with GE and I am somewhat satisfied that it will be replaced but feel it is wasteful that I am having a hard time finding a way to replace what I believe is an electrical or computer error. die to costs of shipping, etc... they will pay retail price of a replacement unit. I am left with the old unit to recycle, donate, repair, burn, store, take to a dump.... but I want to be responsible, I don't want to be wasteful...*** (8/7/2020 description update)
appliance worked fine night before. had a power outage or surge. when power was restored, reset house breakers and ac started up but shut off seconds later and continues to repeat this process when plugs in. the surge protector did not trip on the ac, but I did reset that just in case. when operating, you can hold the power button to turn it on and off but continues to have a red light and beeps continuously. my assumption is there is a blown fuse or sensor or circuit and this should be an easy fix...
currently playing the call tag game with GE Appliance at 1800 626 2000
no one seems to be able to help, all representatives have transfered me and provided me with the same phone numbers....

Thanks for this simple solution. Added switch between black and other cables - works fine. cables are labeled on the inner circuit board (same order as on this video): black - +5V brown - GND (ground) white - COMP (compressor) grey - HRA / WING/UV (no idea what is this for) purple - BEEP (beeper) blue - LOW (fan speed) green - MED (fan speed) yellow - HIGH (fan speed) orange - ROOM (no idea what is this for) red - PIPE (no idea what is this for) connecting black cable to others you can do more than just constant ON with max fan speed may even add Arduino/Rasperry if have related exp...

Ours did the same thing. If you go to your local hardware store and pick up a digital wall thermostat you can hook it up and have full control. Hook black and red wire together into the R. Yellow in the W and white into the G on the thermostat. Then mount it on the wall beside the window and you’re good to go.

Your video really came in handy today. It was really hot in west Tn today and had been for the last week and I knew I was going to have to tackle this project. It worked great without a hitch. The only thing that I wasn't 100% confident about was when connecting the wires I had the red black and white that matched up but had a green and yellow left that had to go together and didn't see clear instructions on matching those two up in the video so if anyone has the same color wiring that I have- green and yellow does definitely splice together and the unit works great!!

With black hooked up it wouldn't work. If you read control board on small writing it tells what each wire controls. All you need is power, compressor, and high for fan! Awesome quick fix to get me by til it cools down here in SC!

@haunce

UPGRAYED: Go ahead and order a BYT-3A016 thermostat. You can then set temps and give yourself some control options kinda' even better than factory. The wires in vid are as follows. Black= +5V and is essentially your main wire. Pink="room?", just make sure pink stays with black.White=Compressor , and Yellow,Green,Blue are High,Medium,Low respectively. Find and wire 110V(make sure you order the 110V version) to the thermostat. On the relay out, Black and Pink on one side, White on the other. then choose High,Med,Low(Yel,Gr,Blue) and put it on the Black-Pink side for always on, and with the white for only on when compressor is on (maybe a bit of a heavy startup surge load but not a big deal usually). Thermostat temp sensor is on a long cord , so you can read the room, not just at the unit. Note the the thermostat needs to be changed to "Cooling Mode" via the buttons, and is a real good idea to change the "hysteresis"...setting "d" (for deviation). Chang from 1 to 7 or so. This way the room temp swings 7 degrees before turning on the compressor. keeping it 1 would be hard on the compressor with a lot of starting up. 'you're welcome.

@@chinodeamigo2220 Thermostat power: Scavenge a short section of power cord and terminate black and white to screws 3 and 4 (doesn't really matter which is which). I chopped the air conditioner's power cord close to where it enters the unit and wire nutted (hehe I said "nutted") in the added power lead to the thermostat. Output Relay:(screws 1 and 2) Black and Pink and **Green under screw 1, White under screw 2. **I chose to have fan on medium and always on thus green is with black under 1... you might want fan only when compressor on then you could put under 1 with white.

@@clarkkc11 You are the man! 👍 So glad you put this out there. Kind of similar situation here with the power surge. Except I bought the GE AKLK24AAG1 which is the 24,000BTU ac unit that is 220 volts. Bought in July 2021.Ran great that summer. Used it 3 days in April. Then electricity flashed off then back on. Hurried and cut it off bc that's not good for the compressor to cut off/on quickly. Waited 15 minutes and cut back on. It runs but when it calls for the compressor to kick on it never will. Was told that it was more than likely the capacitor so bought new one exactly like the original and still compressor will never kick on. Don't know what could be the problem. The fan runs one very mode just something isn't letting the compressor kick on. Paid $700 plus tax but gambled on the warranty and didn't spend another $100 for a extra year warranty. So I got a GE - POS that l got 4 months use out of . Sitting on a work bench in my living room and weighs close to 150 pounds. So mad at GE and my electric company. Neither will take fault but hint that its my fault for not buying the extended warranty. Any references to try and find out the source of the problem. It still looks brand new. Already temp. in the mid 90s with humidity at 95% down here in Louisiana.. Would love to buy whatever parts I need to fix this GE to at least feel like I got screwed again buying the wrong brand. Last time I bought a $700 LG with a $100 extended warranty and lasted 2 and a half years thanks to everything we can buy is 100% China made junk.

My issue is similar with the death chirp but I don’t get the 88 code. This is my third GE unit in a row that I’ve had to get rid of after a year. After EXACTLY a year. Happens in June every year. So what mine does is beep and light up, then sometimes it will do that second beep that shuts it off. Sometimes it won’t and just the screen will light up and then after a minute dims like it usually does. It’s hit or miss. Sometimes it will do this several times a day, sometimes it will go a whole week without doing it. I keep buying this AC because it’s the only one anyone has around here that’s 8000 BTU! I am going insane with this!

Came home last night on a 90+ degree day with my AC not working. This morning it’s up and running thanks to this video! Quick question… anyone know if any safety features are now nonfunctional considering several things were bypassed? Thinking maybe I should run it for just a few hours at a time to be safe. Thanks again!
@clarkkc11
@clarkkc11 2 года назад
I have this concern as well. I do not run for long periods of time, just in case, but I don't think anything major was tampered with and the control board is low voltage. As long as the individual wires are separate and enclosed, should be moderately safe for an at home hack job... But use caution for sure!

Mine was under warranty when this happened. They replaced it and let me keep the old one. I went to partsDr and purchased a new control board and it works just fine now. Now I have two. The new control board displays the room temp just a few seconds after the thermostat is adjusted. The original control board did not display the room temperature so they must have added this feature to the control board. In order to replace this you have to unplug the old one and plug the new one in from the inside of the power supply without touching the capacitor.

Thank you. Used your method and now I’m back up and running. Trust me, I had no idea what I was doing but you made it pretty simple. I only had trouble stripping the wires because I kept breaking the wires in the process. In your opinion, any concern of a possible fire occurring? I did notice a small spark when i plugged the AC in. Also, i used both electrical tape and the wire cap to bind the wires because the cap wouldn’t stay on by itself.
@clarkkc11
@clarkkc11 3 года назад
My only concern is the excess wires that aren't used. Individual wrap with electrical tape and wrap all those wrapped wires together. Like putting a mitten on over gloves! I agree, the stripping is the hardest part .. those wires are delicate. Spark on plug at wall outlet is normal...

I ended up splicing them back to the connector and the board came on but still doesn't work.. buttons do nothing and stuck on 72 with no cooling. The board had lots of condensation on it when I first pulled it and rust. Also there's lots of dirt or mold inside on the styro foam.

Coldest setting I believe. I do not know actual temp. If you are in a more humid region, be careful of overuse and moisture build up. If you are skilled or know someone with a little bit of electrical prowess, you can install a thermostat and switch to replace what was removed from the computer board... But I am not that advanced. This is like the button on your toaster breaking... You hotwire the toaster to toast when you plug it in the wall and you watch that toast... Only instead of hot, it's cold.
