Hi,

Does the AC light blink and then just turns off? If so, it probably is the A/C pressure switch.

Had this problem on mine, however my fan was not spinning at all since the A/C was not working.

When I bought a new one, aircon started working but then the fan didn't stop spinning which turned out to be another defective switch.

But hey, third time's a charm and it works flawlessly now - the switch is about 20 EUR and if you had the machine to pull the gas out of the system you could do it yourself. I don't recommend opening it if you don't since the gas is going to start leaking. The switch is located below, under the front cover.

Good luck!
