I know this is Technicly a non-Electronic type appliance, but perhaps
someone can provide insight on this Problem with a Window AC unit..


This is an older Sears Coldspot, probably 5000 BTU. When 1st put on, it will
blow cool Air ok, but after a While you can hear the cooling grille
Disconnect Electrically, probably from the Sensor mounted to it , which goes
to the Thermostat Dial on the Front panel.

Then, Depending on I think how much Water has accumulated inside the Unit,
it may or may not re-engage the Cooling Grille. It seems on hotter days it
tries to turn on the Cooling grille but you can tell its drawing ALOT of
Wall Current (the lights dim) and you can hear a breaker in the AC
Pop....the Fan Continues to blow whatever cool air is remaining ok....but
after a short time it will try to re-engage the Cooling grille. Sometimes it
will kick in ok , sometimes you just hear the breaker pop out again and
again after repeated attempts.

Last night I re-positioned the wire type Sensor mounted on the cooling
grille, and It blew cool Air Ok, with no problems. I just moved the wire
away from being embedded in the grille so that just the Tip on the Block is
touching the Grille.

This morning, it seems we have alot of Condensation & Water dripping inside,
and the problem came back. I tilted the Unit to better drain the water, and
it seemed to help. Am I on the Right path as far as the Water Build up goes?
