Why is my air conditioner making a dripping noise?
There are 4 reasons why an air conditioner makes a dripping sound:· Water formed by condensation needs to drain away. If the drain is blocked, water can drip off the sides of the unit. Unclogging the drain should fix the problem.· Air conditioners require water to function properly. If the amount of water entering the unit is too high, it will leak out. Checking the water feed rate and setting it correctly should stop the leak.· If the unit is not installed correctly the problem can occur. Proper installation requires that water that collects be able to drain out easily. If this does not happen, it will start dripping out. In such cases, the solution is to re-install the unit correctly.· If the external temperature is too cold, ice can form on the cooling coils and when the unit is switched off, it will melt and start to drip.A professional HVAC company will be able to diagnose and rectify the problem.
I left my cars AC on (not engine) all night and now my car won't start, what's wrong?
Here’s what I know:AC stands for Air Conditioning (duh).Leaving the AC switch “on” does nothing at all if your engine is not running. The AC cools the air coming in thru the ventilation system by running it past a heat exchanger that has in turn been cooled by a compressed working fluid (refrigerant). That compressor is the important bit because it is a mechanical device that is run by a drive belt connected to the engine. If the engine is off, the drive belt doesn’t move, and the AC compressor doesn’t compress.Did you leave the keys in and the ventilation fan on? The fan is electric, and if you left the keys in the ignition in the ACC or ON position then yes, you could easily drain the battery over a period of several hours.
What happens if your car runs out of engine coolant?
If you run out of coolant, and continue to operate the engine for a significant period of time, it will cause serious harm to the engine.Among the first things damaged is typically the heads and head gaskets. If you really push it, you could damage the block, seize the engine, or melt a hole in a piston.Before you get to the catastrophic damage point, there are some tell tale signs that you've run out of coolant. 1) the heater stops working2) the temperature gauge drops from hot to cold (because it's no longer immersed in hot coolant)3) as the engine heat soaks without the cooling system doing its job, the heat gauge eventually rises into the hot zone and keeps going. 4)At this point the engine is/has exceeded its designed operating temperature, and the check engine light may come on. At this point you may have already damaged the heads/gaskets.At any point past warning #2, turn off the engine and let it cool. Adding cool water while the engine is hot could cause warping/cracking. Not to mention you may get burned when opening the cap.
Why does my air conditioner cut on and off frequently?
Normal ACs (non inverter) work in the following wayThe AC compressor runs continuously till set temperature is reached in the roomThe compressor then switches off, but the blower fan in the wall mounter unit keeps runningWhen temperature of room rises then compressor starts running againAnd the process is repeated.... as long as you keep AC runningNow if you feel that your AC keeps switching off and on very frequently check the followingIf there is voltage fluctuation in your area then the compressor may keep shutting don on large voltage swingsSolution: Get a StabilizerYou have set the temperature setting too high. Max temp suggested for ACs is 25 degree Celsius, any higher will mean the compressor shuts down often. Remember every compressor shutdown and startup draws a high starting current Set AC temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees CelsiusThe thermostat/ Temperature sensor is faultyGet unit inspected by Authorized technicianThere is dust buildup on the outer unit / compressor unit. The dust buildup may cause overheating by preventing efficient heat exchange, This may lead to overheating of compressor and it shuts down to, prevent damage to itselfGet unit serviced by Authorized technicianThe fan motor of the outer unit is not working properlyGet unit inspected by Authorized technicianRemember to get the AC serviced at least thrice a year to ensure smooth operationCool Thoughts... Cool Life !!!
Need help used ECM i used to my bad one created new problems?
that's probably a bad ecm you put on it you can try having the trouble codes cleared off of it and see if that helps it,but i doubt that it will ,that ecm may have a bad module in it,you may have to try another one or get a rebuilt one for it,i have ran across that problem before,that's the chance you take with a used one,usually their good,but occasionally you do get a bad one,good luck with getting it straitened out.
Why does my box fan make clicking noises?
I have had the fan for a while (not sure how long). It is starting to work on my nerves. It doesn't always do it but at least half the time I'm using it, my box fan makes these annoying clicking noises like the blades are hitting something. However, I do not think there is anything in the fan. What would cause the fan to make the noises other than the blades making contact with something in the fan?
What does it mean if a spark plug turns black?
the engine is too rich. either the main jet dropped, its badly tuned, or the choke is stuck on. this gives a dark, dry, sooty, almost crumbly deposit.the engine is using oil. also visible due to the plume of blue smoke from the exhaust, and the plug will be black and oily. wet looking.the plug is of the incorrect heat range. the heat of a plug has nothing to do with combustion temperature, as long as the mixture is correct, its always basically the same temperature. no, the heat range is how hot a plug gets during operation. a hot plug “holds” heat in and gets hot, and this heat is what burns the carbon off. the ideal plug will remain white or turn slightly tan coloured. (a bit darker in the case of two strokes).a cold plug will run cooler.a hot plug suits a low speed engine under low load operating at low speeds. think your lawnmower… an air cooled industrial engine.a cold plug suits an engine that runs hot. think a DOHC liquid cooled car run at full throttle.a hot plug in a hot engine will fail due to overheating. a cold plug in a cold engine will quickly foul and fail, due to carbon.never bother cleaning plugs. if they are turning black with no mechanical reasons, such as carb tuning, get a new plug with a lower heat range.
