Hi
My sharp portable ac dims the lights in the room and it trips the circuit breaker everytime the ac tries to switch from fan to cooling. I tried it on every outlet on the 2nd floor and it does the exact same thing. I did it with everything else plugged off. So I figured it can't be the circuit breakers.
I took it apart to see if it is a capacitor. There is a 60 micro farad cylindrical running capacitor and two square black capacitors for the inside and outside fans. All of them look fine. They don't look blown up on the top at all. Can you tell by just looking or do I need to check the micro farads to make sure?
Also, I tried to drain the water and nothing is draining out.
What else could be the problem with this ac? It's only 3 years old and was rarely used.
thanks for any input.
