An air conditioner, which is not cooling, especially during summers is a major issue. Therefore, a regular AC service is important so that it remains dirt-free and works efficiently.

These issues indicate, that your AC service is due for maintenance. You can also download the OneDios app and fix an AC service appointment and get your AC service done.
Here are some common reasons why your AC doesn’t blow cool air:
1. Power issue:
Although, this may sound very basic, before calling for an AC service expert, make sure that the cord and the outlet are absolutely fine. The Air Conditioner unit needs a huge flow of power; it might have blown due to a fuse or tripping. Don’t forget to check it.
2. Dirty Air Filter:
An unclean air filter is one of the most common reasons why your AC is not cooling properly. The air filters get clogged with dirt and dust, which blocks the way of cool air from the outlet. When the air doesn’t flow properly, this also reduces the cooling of the air conditioner. It is advisable to get the filters of your AC checked by downloading the OneDios app. Our experts will fix small faults in advance, to avoid any potential damage in the future.
3. Thermostat setting:
Check the thermostat setting of your AC, high chances it is not set at an appropriate temperature. Make sure it is kept on ‘Auto’ mode so that the fan works only when the air is cool.
4. Dirty coils:
If the AC is not throwing cool air, the condenser coil may be full of debris and dust. The condenser is like a storage heater that dispels heat from the AC. Therefore, the condenser coil shouldn’t be dirty, so that it can oust the heat outside. If the coil has debris and dirt, the AC becomes less effective and stops cooling the room. An AC service expert will fix small faults beforehand with frequent AC service.
5. Low Refrigerant levels:
Another common reason behind AC isn’t cooling is a refrigerant leak. Over a period of time, a slow leak can reduce the refrigerant level in your AC. A refrigerant is a chemical, that is very essential for the cooling process. It moves through the AC’s inside and outside coil, altering from liquid to gas, taking out heat energy and moisture from the air inside and discharging it outside. Therefore, a refrigerant leak doesn’t let the AC blow cold air, this can also damage your compressor. An AC service expert will also check the lines and resolve problem-related to refrigerant levels.
6. Damaged compressor:
A compressor is responsible for cooling your house. A compressor is a motor and is an important part of the AC. It controls the circulation of refrigerants through the evaporator and condenser. If the compressor gets faulty, the cooling process doesn’t start and the air conditioner fails to blow the cold air.

7. Damaged motors:
In case the fan motor gets faulty, the outer unit won’t dispel heat, thus hindering the cooling capacity of your AC unit. You can hire an expert by downloading the OneDios app.

The other reason can be a defective control board, clogged capillary, a faulty thermostat, etc.
