If the outside air conditioner blowing cold air, what could be the problem?
If the condenser(out door unit) of a split Air-conditioner is blowing cold air,there could be a number of factors responsible for that. Firstly, if the compressor is still running, the gas inside the compressor must have been leaked out as a result of may be not tighten up the connection joints properly or the technician who installed the Air-conditioner didn't wraps the threads with trade tape before tightening,hence the gas leaked out. Furthermore,if the main capacitor that controls the starting,running and cooling torque is weak or burnt,the compressor will stop running even if the gas is still available . Thirdly,when there's drop in the voltage supply,consequently,the compressor will also stop running,although the fan could still be running as the voltage power supply to the fan being marginally less than that of the compressor.
Air Conditioner Not Blow Cold Air?
What may be the cause? I just checked the lines and there is frost on them leading from outside to inside, so it has freon and is producing cold air. However, no air is blowing out of the vents. I'm hoping to fix it myself since I rent a house and I don't want to spend my own money to fix the thing but the landlord is in New York (I'm in Louisville, KY). It's been in the upper 80's, inside, when I get home from work so hoping to get this taken care of. What should I check, can I check, or replace? Also, if anyone knows car AC I'm having the identical issue in my older car. No air blowing, though I don't know which lines to check to see if there is freon. Thanks!
If my car air conditioner is not consistently blowing cold air, what is the problem?
Hex Auto Parts Common AC Compressor ProblemsCool But Not ColdIf the air conditioning is set to max cool and fans on high, but is only blowing moderately cool air:1. Check to see that the cooling fans on the condenser or radiator are running when the air conditioning is on.2. Look for any restrictions like leaves, bugs or dirt that would keep air from passing over the condenser.3. Check the cabin air filter to ensure that it is not clogged.4.Check the pressures in the system using a manifold gauge set.Compressor and ClutchThe AC compressor clutch is one of the most common points of failure on the compressor.The compressor is the work horse of the air conditioning system, powered by a drive belt connected to the crankshaft of the engine. When the air conditioning system is turned on, the compressor pumps refrigerant vapour under high pressure to the condenser.1. With the engine running turn the A/C on max cool, set fans high, and make sure that the clutch is engaging on the compressor.Note: this is not the pulley, but the center piece that engages the pulley to the compressor shaft.If the clutch is engaging and disengaging rapidly, the refrigerant may be low.2. If the clutch is not engaging, use a voltmeter to check for voltage getting to the compressor.3. If there is voltage - the clutch may be bad.If there is no voltage - a cycling switch may be bad, a fuse may be blown and the system may not have enough refrigerant pressure to trip the low pressure cutoff switch that cycles the compressor.How do you test for an A/C system leak?One of the most common AC temperature problems is low refrigerant. The AC system is closed, so refrigerant should not be lost unless there is a leakDetecting leaks:Black light enabled dyes. You read that right. A lot of refrigerants are pre-mixed with a special U.V.dye that shows up under black light. We’ll run a black light over your A/C system to see if any dye shows up.Bring in the sniffer; A sniffer is a special device that hones in on the refrigerant’s chemical components. If there’s a leak, our sniffer will sniff it out. A damaged ignition coil could even cause an electrical short that can damage your Honda Civic's electrical system or blow a fuse.
Haier window air conditioner does not blow cold air?
Is it upright or turned on its side. You gotta install an A/C the way it's intended or the compressor oil will not settle in the right place. Also make sure the compressor does not leak any oil.
1992 Buick Century air conditioner not blowing cold air?
I recently had the compressor replaced on my 1992 Buick Century. I had it replaced because it broke after having freon put in it because the air wasn't blowing cool. I think the guy might have put the wrong kind in or something. All I know is that shortly after he put the freon in, there was smoke coming from the compressor and there was a round piece of metal that disconnected from the compressor. So I recently got another compressor installed by a different guy. He used one of those converter kits to convert it to the r134a freon. He put neon green oil in before adding the freon and used a gauge to decide how much freon he needed to add. He used (2) 12oz. cans of freon with stop leak already added and (2) 12oz. cans of pure freon before he got a gauge reading that he was satisfied with. I had cold air for about an hour and he told me not to turn the air off so that the freon could get to circulating good. After I left I went to the gas station and I turned off the engine, when I started the car back up the air was no longer cold. I took the car back to the mechanic so that he could check for leaks. He said that there were no leaks that he could see because the neon oil would tell where . He said that most likely I need to have the condenser and accumulator replaced. I want a second opinion, does this sound right? How can you tell if the condenser , accumulator, or other a/c related part is bad? Thanks in advance.
Car AC Not Blowing Cold Air?
I have a 2008 Buick Enclave CXL and this is the first time this has happened in 5 years of ownership. For the past 4 summers when it is 90+ deg outside, the AC always cools the cabin within 5 minutes. This year, when hot temps started, and only when the car is left baking outside, it takes a long time for cool air to come out of the vents. Fan on high but no cold air. When the car gets moving for a while, air gets cooler but not as cold. And when the car is at the stop light, semi-cold air is gone until the car starts moving again. Eventually when I get on the highway and have been driving for a while, it gets to normal cold temps. It is different when the car has been in the garage. I'm sure this is because the engine bay is at cooler temps. Cold air comes on right away and stays cold no matter if the car is stopped or not. That is until it is left baking outside. I don't know much about AC systems so I have been doing a lot of google search on this and have read that refrigerant is in a closed system. And if it is low, that means there is a leak. Also, there would be no cold air. I have never seen a leak and since the temp does get cold, I don't think this is a R134 issue (I could be wrong). I am thinking the issue is with the the condenser. Either the fan is not working, or there is a malfunction somewhere. I think this is the reason why cold air comes on only when the car is moving, because the moving air is cooling the condenser. I can hear the compressor turn on when the AC is turned on so no problem there.One thing to add, when I looked in the coolant reservoir, it is empty. It should be up to a safe level when the engine is cold. Could that be the reason? The engine does not overheat nor the temp gauge displays high temp. Its time for a radiator flush anyway so I will get that done right away.
Why is my air conditioner not blowing hard enough to cool down a room?
Hello, your problem is most likely that your Room air conditioner not cooling. In order to fix this, Point & Click Appliance Repair has some suggestions:The air filter is an important part of your air conditioning unit because it filters out debris from the air you’re breathing in. If your filter hasn’t been changed in a while, the flow of air may become restricted, causing less cooling to take place. Check your air filter to determine if it is clogged and replace if needed.The air conditioner thermostat regulates the temperature of the air being produced. When the temperature of the room reaches above a set point, the thermostat actuates a switch to turn the compressor and fan motor on to begin cooling. To decide if your thermostat is broken, turn your unit on and use a multimeter to test its continuity. If your thermostat does not have continuity, then it might not be turning the air conditioner on when it’s needed and will need to be replaced.The thermistor is attached to the control board and is used for sensing the air temperature. If the thermistor is not taking accurate temperature readings, it could be causing the unit to not cool properly. To decide if the thermistor is the issue, use a multimeter to test it for continuity.Hope these help!
