Find the fault

What usually goes wrong

  1. Capacitor

    A capacitor that gives out, so the fan or compressor will not start.

  2. Refrigerant

    Low refrigerant from a leak, often with ice on the lines.

  3. Condensate drain

    A clogged condensate drain that shuts the system off or drips water.

  4. Airflow

    A dirty coil or filter choking the airflow.

Before you call

Check the thermostat is set to cool and below room temperature. Check the breaker for the outdoor unit. Look at the filter, and if it is grey and packed, change it. If it still blows warm, turn it off and call; running a system that is iced up can make things worse.
