7 signs that your air conditioner needs maintenance
Turn on the air conditioner but it doesn't work
When using the air conditioner, you need to open the circuit breaker, if you do not hear the familiar sound (beep) on the indoor unit. This is a sign of a broken circuit breaker, open circuit or a damaged machine control board.
Continuous water flow in the air conditioner
The sign of water flowing continuously from the air conditioner can be caused by when installing the product, the water pipe does not have the correct slope, causing this situation. Or due to a long time of use, it has not been cleaned, causing blockage of the air-conditioner water line.
Refrigeration compressor not working
This is a sign that when the starting capacitor is damaged, the air conditioner does not run. Other causes come from a burnt motor coil, a damaged capacyky or a stuck mechanical part. Any damage is a warning sign that the refrigeration compressor cannot function as it should.
The bad smell from the air of the air conditioner comes out
Signs that your air conditioner needs maintenance right away is when there is a bad smell in the air of the air conditioner:
- Musty smell: When the air conditioner is operating, it has a musty smell because it has not been used for a long time. Need to clean immediately because mold is not good for everyone's health
- Toilet odor: Some people connect directly to the toilet flushing system or manhole. However, there is no attached steam trap, causing the smell of the manhole and exhaust pipe to flow back into the indoor unit
- Unpleasant smell of gas: the air conditioner is leaking gas, so when there is this smell, it is necessary to quickly turn off the machine and open the room door and exhaust fan for ventilation.
The air conditioner is stuck in snow
Need to call someone for maintenance as soon as you see that the air conditioner is covered in snow, it may be because you have not cleaned the product for a long time. Or due to lack of gas, the gas pipe is dented and dusty, causing the above situation.
Refrigerator control not working
The sign that you need to call someone to maintain the air conditioner is when you point the control to the signal recognition board. But when pressing again, no response is heard and the machine does not run. The cause could be:
- Low battery or out of battery, you need to replace the battery immediately
- The remote control is damaged, can use other controls of the same type to check if it works or not
- The board received the signal on the damaged indoor unit so it can't be recognized, need to replace the infrared sensor or replace the board right away
Turn on the outdoor unit but the wind blowing out is not hot
Signs that the outdoor unit fan has a problem when you turn it on for more than 15 minutes without seeing the outdoor unit spinning or slower than usual. If that is the case, the block compressor will run or stop abnormally.
