Default Air Conditioner (window)

So my Air Conditioner descided to hang itself by the cord when I
opened the window.
I checked with an ohm reader to see if the cord was still good. All
signs positive.

I pluged it in, and was able to turn on the fan and switched from Fan
to Cool to Energy Efficiency (which is also cool) and
Dehumidiferier... no objections by the machine...

ALL except that the cooling doesn't cool~! Now before I let the a/c
unit jump all was good so I assume that the coolant didn't leak or
that the screen or filter aren't dirty.

When I do select the Cool button, I do hear the compressor (?) wanting
to kick in, but it gives up within seconds.

Any advice? Did I just reconnect the cable wrong? (black and green are
deffinatly on right prongs) white, well not as certain but, again, I
assume that no smoke means I didn't connect it wrong on the capsule
like prongs... I don't understand why there are so many 'spare' prongs
on this capsule or transformer.

This is a newer unit so age isn't a factor. Haier esa3069

Green is safety ground, should go to the case of the air conditioner,
black is the "hot" lead. You didn't say where the cable came loose,
just that you reconnected it. Maybe you got something wrong. More
information needed about how the power cable came loose.
