The reasons why an air conditioner may stop working

When you notice that your Split Ac not working as efficiently as it once did, or simply that it isn't running at all, it's important to figure out what's going on. It's best to figure out what the problem is sooner rather than later, especially if it's a relatively new air conditioner, before a small issue escalates into something you can't fix.

Some of the more common air conditioner problems are listed below, along with suggestions on how to fix them.

Warm air is blown from the unit

When you turn on your air conditioner during a heatwave and it blows hot air in your face, there is nothing more dreadful. Several factors can contribute to this. One of the simpler causes might be that the vent is closed, or the thermostat needs to be repaired. It is also possible that the unit is low on refrigerant, signaling a leak, or that the fan is malfunctioning.

Give a call to a professional if you are experiencing warm air instead of cold air coming out of your unit.

I can't turn on the unit

Having trouble turning on your air conditioner? It could be a dirty filter, a problem with your thermostat, or a tripped circuit breaker.

The AC shutoff switch should not be engaged, and the drain pan beneath the unit should not be full or clogged. If either of these conditions exist, the machine will go into safe mode and won't turn on.
