At this Fort Smith home, our technician worked on the AC’s contactor, the switch that sends power to the outdoor unit every time the AC turns on.
What Our Technician Found
The old contactor was worn and dirty, with grime built up around the contact points. Every time the AC starts, those contacts snap together to send power to the outdoor unit. Over time they wear down, and a worn contactor can keep the unit from starting.
What We Completed
- Removed the worn contactor.
- Installed a new heavy duty contactor.
- Cleaned and tightened the wire connections.
- Checked that the outdoor unit starts and runs.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new contactor and solid connections. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- The contactor works hard. It snaps on and off every time your AC runs.
- Clicking or buzzing outside is worth a call. It can mean the contactor is wearing out.
- Small parts protect big ones. A good contactor helps protect the compressor.
