By Joanna Walsh


Air conditioner repair can be very costly when you have to call in a professional. You need to hire a competent and professional service company to deal with technical parts such as adding a refrigerant and electrical repairs. Following are a few quick and easy checks you can perform yourself before you call for help from an air conditioner repair Detroit specialist.

If your central window unit does not start automatically when switched on, it has a faulty thermostat. You need to replace the thermostat for the unit to start receiving power and function appropriately. Insure that the unit is not shut down or set to just have the fan blow. Settings can be inadvertently changed.

Where the appliance fails to start you need to check the fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped. In addition, check the outlet by unplugging the window unit and plugging in a separate appliance of the same voltage. Dirty condenser coils inside the unit will cause frosting. Air conditioner repair professionals can take the unit apart and service it.

Change your filter. Check that the unit is off when you clean it. Keep the condensing unit free of debris. Check every month for dirt buildup, and replace a dirty filter right away. Too much dirt can decrease airflow.The outer part of the window unit and the fan blades should be carefully cleaned and any dirt removed from the interior of the device. Take precaution when working on the fins and blades, since they can bend and at worst break easily..

Turn off the power to the air conditioner and check the thermostat. Remove the thermostat's cover and unscrew the wire from the Y terminal. If the compressor does not go on when you hold the two wires together, turn the power, back off and call an AC technician. If your settings are correct, check your battery to be sure that it is not weak. A low battery can affect thermostat functions.

Replace filters as per the instructors manual. Your air conditioner may be running, but not cooling the room. It requires cleaning for the air to flow freely without any blockage by the debris or dirt. Another problem could be with the coolant, it may require recharging. Where the insulation is damaged or worn, it will cut down on the cooling efficiency of the unit and, therefore, should be replaced.

Where you discover the motor is moving, but the blower does not move, the air, it is most probable the connecting belt is broken. The best thing is to substitute the air conditioners blower belt. It is important to adjust the tension of the belt after fixing according to manufacturers instructions.

Look for leaks or pooling water around the system. Check that condensation drains freely and the drainage line is not blocked. The leakage could be as a result of condensation from the tubes in which it flows. Alternatively, water flow is blocked, or pump in which the refrigerant is flowing is not functioning. Commercial cleaner is used.
