A Van Buren homeowner called because the AC was still blowing air inside, but the air was not cool.
What Our Technician Found
When the indoor fan runs but the air is not cool, the outdoor unit is often not running. Our technician opened up the outdoor unit and tested the electrical parts. He found the capacitor (the part that gives the motors a boost to start) and the contactor (the switch that sends power to the outdoor unit) both needed to be replaced.
What We Completed
- Tested the outdoor unit’s electrical parts.
- Replaced the capacitor.
- Replaced the contactor with a heavy duty one.
- Checked the system after the repair.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new capacitor and contactor and the system is cooling again. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Air blowing but not cool? Check whether the outdoor unit is running.
- Shut it off if the outdoor unit is silent. Running the indoor side alone just moves warm air around.
- These parts wear out with use. A yearly tune-up can catch them before they fail.
