Troubleshooting Steps for Your Air Conditioner

If your air conditioner is not working correctly, follow these troubleshooting steps to diagnose and possibly resolve the issue:

1. Thermostat Settings

• Check the Temperature Control: Ensure the temperature setting on your thermostat is lower than the current room temperature.
• System Mode: Set the system switch to either COOL or AUTO.
• Fan Operation: Choose ON for continuous airflow or AUTO to have the blower operate only when the air conditioner is running.

2. Attempt to Turn On the Air Conditioner

• Lower the Temperature: Set the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting to see if the air conditioner will start.

3. Check Airflow

• Air Filter: Inspect the air filter. A very dirty filter can restrict airflow and should be cleaned or replaced if necessary.
• Registers: Make sure all air registers are open and free from obstructions.

4. Electrical Components

• Power Disconnect Switch: Verify that the power disconnect switch near both the indoor and outdoor units is on.
• Fuse/Breaker: Check the fuse or circuit breaker at the electrical panel for both the indoor and outdoor units to ensure they are not blown or tripped.

5. Contact Professional Support

• Persistent Issues: If your air conditioner still does not function properly after performing these steps, please contact us for professional assistance.

Following these steps can help identify common issues with air conditioning systems and may resolve problems without the need for professional repair.
