What is the difference between 'auto' and 'on' on the air conditioner?

Turning the switch the on position will make the inside fan come on and stay on. Setting it in the auto position will allow it to turn on and off automatically with the rest of the unit outside and at what ever your temprature setting is on your thermostat.

Hi, Central air conditioners distribute cool air throughout a house or building by means of ducts that channel the air from the cooling coils to each room. There are also ducts to return the air to be cooled again. These units are divided into two major parts: 1) An evaporator inside the house that cools the air, and 2) A compressor outside the house that extracts the heat from the coolant and returns it inside again. Air conditioners are usually installed in windows. The front part, the part inside the house, contains the evaporator ( the cooling part). A blower blows the cooled air out into the room that the window is in. The compressor is in the back part of the unit that extends outside the window and exhausts the heat from the condenser coils to the outside air. Hope this helps. FE

The auto setting on the thermostat will keep the ac on until the room reaches the preset temperature The on setting will keep the AC going until you turn it off, at least this is how mine works

THE AUTO WILL SHUT THE UNIT OFF WHEN TEMP I MEET THAT YOU HAVE IT SET FOR. ON MEAN THE UNIT FAN MOTOR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN CONSTANTLY REGARDLESS IS THE OUTSIDE UNIT IS RUNNING OR NOT.
