AC is a must with the kind of humid and hot weather in store for the summer. So, when you are stuck in the home, you turn on your air conditoner system, but it is not working as it should.
It has been operating for quite a long time and it is not getting cooler inside. After trying your best to find the reason, you find out that the outside unit of the air conditioner is not running. What is the reason behind that?
Reasons Why Outside Unit is not working
Thermostat is disturbed
You should know that you need to set the thermostat to cool in order for it to work. Try reducing the temperature to 5 degrees below the inside temperature. See if the outside unit starts running.
Look for Tripped Breaker
If you see that the breaker is tripped in the electrical panel, then reset it. It’s good if the outside system starts working, but if it doesn’t then let the professionals tackle it.
Is the Condensate Line Clear?
Every internal AC unit has a pan beneath the system to catch the run-off. With it, a drain line is attached that carries the water to the nearest drain. If that line is clogged, then it could cause the unit to shut off.
Check the Shut-off Switch
Remember to check both shut-off switches, inside and outside. There are chances that the power might be cut from the exterior system. Make sure that they are in the “on” position for the units to work properly as expected.
Go for the Reset Button
At times the simplest solutions are the answers, So, try resetting the settings on the system. If you do not have a reset button, then you can switch off the thermostat button and wait for about 5-10 minutes.
