If your air conditioner is running but not blowing cold air, it means that something isn’t working properly within the system. This issue can be caused by anything from a simple fix like a dirty air filter to more complex problems like refrigerant leaks or a failing compressor. Identifying the root cause early can help prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
Here are some of the most common reasons your AC might not be blowing cold air:
- Dirty Air Filter: A clogged filter can block airflow, making it harder for your system to circulate cold air throughout your home.
- Low Refrigerant Levels: If your system is low on refrigerant, often due to a leak, it won’t be able to cool the air properly.
- Thermostat Issues: Make sure your thermostat is set to “cool”, and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature.
- Frozen Evaporator Coils: Restricted airflow or low refrigerant can cause coils to freeze, preventing proper cooling.
- Dirty or Blocked Condenser Coils: If the outdoor unit’s coils are dirty or blocked, your AC may struggle to release heat, reducing its cooling power.
- Malfunctioning Blower Fan: If the blower fan isn’t working, the system won’t be able to push cold air into your home.
