    Tam,
    When you switch on the first TCL TAC-12CSA/XAB11 unit and see the display showing 4A and 0A without cool air coming out, this could potentially indicate an issue with the compressor or cooling coils, as these are core components of the AC system.
    A malfunctioning compressor, dirty cooling coils or low refrigerant levels might lead to the AC not blowing cold air.

    As for the second AC unit showing 2A, this could be a sign of an electrical issue, such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker.
    It’s important to inspect the electrical connections and ensure the thermostat is set to an adequate temperature, as these could also cause the AC not to blow cold air.

    Corinne Spark,
    TCL Air conditioner showing a P9 error:
    Error Codes: TCL AC P9 Error is a Drive protection (software control issue)

    This means a computer controlled or software component of the AC is not working properly.
    This type of issue may require an AC professional.
