Sometimes AC could not be turned off by pressing the AC Off Button. They could not find the solution so was asked to come back later. The reason is found by myself. The AC AUTO button gets pressed and is in a position that does not toggle properly when OFF is pressed. I do not have a perm fix but will only do the slide with finger to toggle it properly.
