Why Did My AC Compressor Stop Working?

If you find your compressor or heat pump is not working, the first thing to do is check the power supply. The unit could have simply become unplugged, or there may be a more serious problem at hand. For homeowners who feel handy, this is a good time to take a look at your AC compressor or to schedule AC repair services for a more comprehensive assessment. You will want to have the unit examined to look for signs of a blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, a broken thermostat, or dirty air filters. Dirty or clogged filters commonly make AC compressors stop working. ...

When it comes to operating your cooling system properly, be realistic with the temperature setting on your thermostat. When it’s 110 degrees outside, don’t set your thermostat at 65. It just isn’t designed for that. Also, keep in mind that heat pumps do not perform as well on very cold days. They work by moving warm air from one place to another. When the mercury drops below about 30, there isn’t much heat to for these systems to work with.

Top Reasons Your AC Compressor Stopped Working

Not every AC repair problem is a costly one to fix. Knowing what problem is troubling your AC compressor will help you determine the cost of repairs and how to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future.

Some of the most common reasons why AC compressors stop working

1.Dirty condenser coils
2.Blocked suction lines
3.Low refrigerant charge
4.Incorrect suction line size
5.Too much refrigerant
6.Electrical problems
Contaminants in the system 7.Insufficient oil lubricant

Before AC compressors stop working altogether, they often display warning signs, like:

1.Blowing warm air
2.Frequently tripping the circuit breaker
3.Shaking when the system is started
4.Making strange noises
Don't ignore when you encounter one of these signs.

CAUSES OF ICE BUILDUP

It is important for your air conditioner to have enough airflow and refrigerant for the air-conditioning process to take place correctly. A lack of airflow caused by an obstruction in the air conditioner or a blower-fan motor failure is a common cause of ice buildup on the coils in the following ways: ...

A completely clogged air filter can block incoming air from reaching the evaporator coil while leaves and yard debris can do the same for the condenser coil.

An indoor or outdoor blower-fan motor failure can prevent either fan from working, starving the air conditioner of the airflow it needs to properly operate.

Ice buildup can also happen due to low refrigerant levels caused leaks or improper refrigerant charging. Low refrigerant levels often mean low operating pressures, which in turn lower the temperature of the refrigerant.

You’re probably wondering how you can tell whether your air conditioner is affected by ice buildup.

Common symptoms to look out for

1. Presence of ice buildup on the indoor or outdoor cabinet 2. Inability to effectively cool indoor spaces. 3. Constant short-cycling 4. Spilled water from melting ice.

Here are some ways how to prevent ice buildup

PREVENTION OF ICE BUILDUP

The first thing you’ll want to do when encountering ice buildup on your air conditioner is to simply shut off the unit and let the ice thaw for a few hours. You can use a hair dryer on its highest setting to speed the process along. Don’t attempt to remove the ice by hacking away at it with an ice pick or other sharp object, as this could damage your evaporator or condenser coil.

Afterward, you should check your air filter and make sure it isn’t completely blocked with dust and debris. If the filter is clogged, remove it and put a new one in its place. Your air filter should be changed at least once every three months to keep clogs from forming.Chemical service is a must twice every year or at least once to maintain cooling efficiency of your system.

If the air filter is clog free, have your technician take a quick look at the blower-fan motor. Your technician will make sure the motor is properly working and repair any issues that could prevent it from doing so, including overheating due to dust and debris buildup, a blown relay, or wiring issues.

Last but not least, you should have your technician check the refrigerant levels as well as the actual evaporator and condenser coils. Depending on the circumstances, your technician may need to add more refrigerant to the unit as well as repair any leaks found throughout the system.

If you’re dealing with ice buildup on your air conditioner, don’t hesitate to schedule service with us.

Why regular maintenance of air conditioner is Necessary

Having a regular maintenance is vital in order to keep your air conditioner clean and your family healthy and to ensure that your ac unit remains at optimal performance.

Here are a few key tips to follow. ...

Replacing filters regularly
Filters are one of the most critical components of your air conditioner. They circulate and clean the air properly, hence need to be cleaned frequently. As a matter of fact, dirty filters can become a source of airborne bacteria to spread throughout your house. Cleaning the filters depends on how often you use your split system. Generally, once a month or once every 2 months is a safe thing to do. It’s also a healthy habit to follow by vacuuming any dust, cobwebs, and grime from the filter occasionally.

Cleaning the compressor
Your AC’s compressor plays the role of compressing low pressure and low volume gas to convert these into high pressure and high temperature as needed for cooling. Ensuring to clean the compressor frequently will enable better cooling and better, quality air. Oil specially designed for the ACs can be used for its longevity.

Evaporator coils
When air passes through the air conditioning system, an evaporator coil absorbs the heat to let cold air throughout the space. By replacing old evaporator coils, you can significantly improve air flow and air circulation inside your residential or office space.

Regular service
Getting your split air conditioner serviced by experienced professionals will increase its longevity and keep it performing across many summers. Service only needs to be performed every few years, unless there are noticeable, major changes in its performance.

If you neglect it there can be a wide array of problems that occur, one being clogged and dirty filters. The air filter cleans the air that blows into your home, and whilst it is cleaning the air, it leaves all the dirt and bacteria in these filters. Over time this builds up and makes the filter dirty and if these aren't cleaned or replaced the air conditioner becomes less effective and can actually end up blowing dirty air into your household.

Here are some of the problems associated with dirty filters:

Minimized air flow
An air filter that is clogged reduces the amount of air that comes through the system, this reduces the amount of air flow into a building or home and the effectiveness of the unit. It is possible for the system to fail when air filters are clogged as air conditioning systems are designed to work with a specific amount of airflow.
Unclean air ducts
When the filter on a central air conditioning system gets dirty, the dirt is more than likely to spread to the air ducts in the house. It is far more worthwhile to have your air filter cleaned or replaced rather than waiting and spending lots of money on replacing ductwork that has been damaged from particulate and dirt.
Allergens
Allergens are caused by the dirt and mould built up in air conditioning systems. A dirty air filter causes the duct work to become dirty as well which is where the mould and bacteria grows. The pollution indoors can cause symptoms such as fatigue, coughing, itchy eyes, headaches, sore throat, difficulty breathing, congestion and tightening of the chest. Having your air filter cleaned or replaced will reduce these symptoms.
