A Van Buren Comfort Club (our maintenance plan) member called because the system had frozen up. He turned it off, but it still had not thawed out.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician checked the system and the outdoor unit’s electrical parts. The capacitor (a part that gives the motors a boost to start and keeps them running) and the contactor (the switch that turns the outdoor unit on and off) both needed to be replaced.
What We Completed
- Checked the system after the freeze up.
- Replaced the capacitor at the outdoor unit.
- Replaced the contactor.
- Checked the system after the repair.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new capacitor and contactor. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Turn it off when it freezes. That is the right first step. Then call for service.
- Ice is a symptom, not the problem. Something is keeping the system from running the way it should.
- Do not keep restarting a frozen system. Let it thaw and let a technician find the cause.
