Air conditioner units contain quite a few components that work together to create the cool atmosphere that keeps your space at a temperature that is comfortable. Window-mounted units are somewhat more tolerant of a do-it-yourselfer while a technician to fix is required by large central air units. Why the fan isn’t working troubleshooting can assist you in keeping your space temperature maintained as well as your wallet intact.
Worn Out Belt
The enthusiast in an air conditioner unit is attached to a motor which directly turns the fan, but occasionally the workings contain a belt which connects the motor and the fan. If you’ve got a unit with a belt, check to see if the belt has worn out, frayed or slid out of place, making it impossible for the fan to turn. Order a replacement belt and replace the belt.
Power to the Unit
Check to make certain that the unit is plugged to the wall while it may be the obvious alternative . The power won’t turn on and if the connection has come loose, your fan won’t turn. Another power problem may be a tripped change on the circuit which provides power to the unit. If the plug is attached and the circuit is working, unplug the unit and examine the wiring which connects the fan motor to the circuit board. Make sure that all connectors are plugged in, plug the unit back and try it.
Circuit Board
The circuit board, or control board, is the coolant along with what leads the enthusiast to turn. Any timers your unit may have are also controlled by it. Once you’ve confirmed that power will the unit, when you push buttons along with the air conditioner responds, you are aware that the problem rests somewhere from the thermostat or the control board. These components are replaceable, but the wiring is so complex and the part so pricey the choice is to replace the unit if it is no longer covered by warranty.
Blockage
From working the fan could be kept by A blockage in the unit. While filters maintain dust and debris outside, damage to the outside of the unit may expose its insides to outside elements and debris may become lodged in the unit. Check the interior of the unit is obstructing the fan. Eliminate any blockage.
Condensation Vacuum
The ones that do can quit working, although not all air conditioner units have condensation pumps. In the event the pump warms up, a cause switch moves on inside the unit that stops the enthusiast (and on occasion the whole unit, depending on the kill button ) from functioning until the reservoir is emptied and mended. Although they work by themselves, but when it isn’t emptying on its own, then replace or fix the pump so that it dispenses condensation properly.
