Samsung air conditioner switches on and then off

[davejonesbkk]

I have a Samsung air con unit in one room in my house, it was fine last night and then this morning I switch it on and it makes its usually chime noise and then immediately makes the noise again and switches off and the main light on it is flashing green. Tried a different remote from a unit (exact same make & model) in another room with the same result, tried changing the batteries also.

 

Im guessing its going to need some kind of repair but as its a holiday weekend that could be at least 1-2 days, is there anything I can do myself?

I had a similar problem with my Panasonic unit..........try switching it off at the mains panel for a few minutes let it reset itself and try switching on again......worked for me

It is trying to tell you something. 

Count how many times the green light flashes, then google "samsung air conditioner error codes".

Might just be time for a filter clean.
