FRIGIDAIRE FAZ12HR2A stopped working

[James Garrison Barnes]

I have a Frigidaire FAZ12HR2A (air conditioner / heater)

 

The buttons started lighting up and beeping (randomly) for about 5 minutes at a time, several times every hour, but the unit kept working properly.  After a couple weeks, it just wouldn't turn on anymore.

 

Friends who tinker with HVAC have told me they think maybe a board or relay or something electronic has simply gotten shot.  There's no indications of lightning issues.  I'm hoping someone can give me a basic idea of what might be wrong? and what price ranges the parts and labor could run....

 

Obviously, I cannot fix it myself, but I just want to determine whether to fix it or replace it.  I believe it's around $800-ish to replace it...hopefully a repair can be done for less?

Sounds like it might be a stuck button to me.  The fuse is not blown cause she still beeps.

Well, he wants an estimate, Dan.

common issue on these.

the push buttons which are called tact switches become leaky and cause a host of issues.

you can replace the front control board as the main relay/power should be ok.

If you want to be cheap you can replace the switches , for around 10 bucks. most tv shops carry these parts .... If you can still find one in business that is.
