Some people are into cars or can fix basic issues around the house, but when it comes to more complex appliances like air conditioners, few homeowners really know what can go wrong with them. Here are a few of the most common problems you might have with your air conditioner.
Low Refrigerant
As you might expect, refrigerant is the chemical that refrigerates the air in your air conditioner. If it is leaking or if there’s a more complex problem, your air conditioner will be low on refrigerant, and unable to perform correctly. Refrigerant is also a pollutant, so it’s important to have any leaks that might be on your air conditioner sealed up.
Fan Isn’t Working
The internal workings of the conditioner cool the air, but the fan is necessary to spread that cool air throughout the room. Sometimes the fan itself will be the only part of the unit that breaks down, and when that happens, it’s a relatively easy fix.
Unit is Non-responsive
When the unit won’t turn on at all or register anything that you do, that is almost always an issue with the power supply. This is also, in the scheme of air conditioner issues, a relatively simple one to fix. There are, of course, other reasons that a unit will be completely dead, and for many of them, you will need to replace the unit entirely.
Faulty Wiring
A common issue in nearly all electronics, faulty wiring is one of the primary issues that you might be having with your air conditioner. When wiring inside the unit is messed up, it can cause the unit to short out, break down, or even catch fire. This is an issue that needs immediate attention, and can easily ruin an air conditioner permanently.
Frozen Coil
When there are issues with airflow inside the machine, you can have a frozen coil. It can also be caused by low refrigerant, dirty filters, or an obstruction in the machine.
