    Air conditioning unit throwing the breaker
    It has been really hot lately, and all of sudden our unit will trip the breaker outside, the fan will still run but on the unit. What should we check to see what the problem is? We sprayed it good to get all of airborn goodies from it. It comes back on when we flip the breaker. Thanks

    Are there any other things that you might have plugged in to use current on the same line as that which might be used by the same breaker?

    Just a thought for you...

    Is this central A/C or a window unit?

    Hey guys we found the answer, my husband changed the thermostat and found a broken wire, after he changed it the problem was gone. Thank goodness it wasn't too serious. Thanks for the help, have a good summer.

    That was a stroke of luck and cheap to repair also.

    Glad you got it going.
