1. Filters Are Clogged;
When filters get clogged, they begin to restrict the flow of air through your AC. The result is that the AC doesn’t cool your indoor air effectively. Clogged filters can also interfere with the functioning of your system’s indoor evaporator coil and outdoor condenser unit.
Solution
1. Switch off the AC, and disconnect the wires from the switchboard
2. Open the AC panel and remove the filters. If your AC has more than one filter, remove them one at a time.
3. Clean the filter and the evaporator with a soft toothbrush and remove the dirt
4. Be careful while cleaning the evaporator as you may get hurt by the sharp edges of the fins on the coil.
5. After brushing off the dust, clean the filter with a wet cloth or place it under a tap
6. Let the filter dry completely before you place them back
2. Refrigerant Is Leaking;
There are two possible reasons your AC’s refrigerant level is too low. It could be that the system was undercharged during installation.
More commonly, it could also be that there’s a leak within the system. In such a case, it’s important that you seek professional AC repair right away. A refrigerant leak can cause refrigerant poisoning, although rare, and harm the environment.
Solution;
The best way to fix this issue is to call an AC repair and service professional, get the refrigerant level checked, and refill the gas if needed.
3. Coils Are Dirty;
Coils tend to get dirty over time because they stay humid and it’s easy for mildew and mold to build up. This can adversely affect their functioning. Coils can also freeze over and stop working, particularly when there’s not enough refrigerant in the system.
Solution;
Spray directly on AC coil. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and then wash the AC coil with normal water and dry it.
4. Air Leaking ;
The ducts that run through your walls or ceilings carry the cool air from the air conditioner. Maybe , the ducts are broken or have holes in them. This can also be one of the reasons that your AC is not cooling properly.
Solution;
To fix this, first, you need to check the filters. If it is proved dirty, you need to replace it. If you just get a new AC and it is already leaking on its first day, you may want to check if it is installed correctly. First, you need to see if your AC installed unevenly.
5. Compressor Is Not Running;
Your AC’s compressor is the heart of the entire system. The compressor circulates refrigerant between the indoor and the outdoor units. When the compressor gets damaged, the entire system can’t cool your indoor air effectively.
Solution;
Problems with an AC’s compressor can best be solved by replacing it. The biggest problem is that compressors can be incredibly expensive. Unless you have a warranty on this part, you may want to replace the entire outdoor unit.
