Aircon Not Switching On Repairs
When an air conditioner will not switch on, it is important to identify the cause before replacing components unnecessarily. The Appliance Engineer provides professional aircon fault diagnosis, servicing and repairs for residential and commercial air-conditioning systems across Gauteng.
Why Is My Aircon Not Switching On?
An aircon that does not respond when you try to start it can have several possible causes, including:
- Power supply problems
- Tripped circuit breakers or electrical protection
- Faulty remote control or batteries
- Faulty wall controller or control system
- Electrical component faults
- Control board or electronic faults
- Indoor or outdoor unit communication problems
- Faulty sensors or protection systems
- Wiring or connection problems
Aircon Electrical and Control Faults
If the aircon has power but does not respond to the controls, the fault may be inside the control system. Professional diagnosis can help determine whether the problem involves the controller, wiring, sensors, electronic components or another part of the system.

Repair or Replace Your Aircon?
An aircon that will not switch on does not automatically mean that the system needs to be replaced. A professional diagnosis can determine whether the problem is related to an electrical component, control system, wiring, sensor or another repairable fault.
Electrical Safety
Air-conditioning systems involve electrical components. If the unit is tripping electrical protection, has damaged wiring or shows signs of an electrical fault, avoid attempting internal electrical repairs yourself. For general electricity and safety information, see Eskom.
