Don't Panic! Here are 5 Things To Check If Your Air Conditioner Suddenly Stops Working.
If you find yourself with cooling issues, you can try these common troubleshooting tips.
- Check the Thermostat
First, check the batteries to see if they need to be replaced. Also, ensure that the thermostat is set to cool and at a temperature lower than the current room temperature. Sometimes, settings may have been inadvertently changed.
- Inspect the Air Filter
A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause the AC to malfunction. Check and replace the air filter if it’s dirty.
- Inspect the Circuit Breakers
Check the circuit breaker panel to see if a breaker has tripped. Reset any tripped breakers related to the AC unit.
- Inspect the Condensate Drain
If you notice water pooling around the indoor unit, it could indicate a clogged condensate drain. Clear any blockages to prevent water damage and restore proper operation.
- Inspect the Air Vents and Registers
Ensure that all air vents and registers throughout your home are open and unobstructed. Blocked vents can reduce airflow and affect cooling.
