Air Conditioning Problems and Their Simple Solution

Now, when the temperature rolls over and the heat is simply unbearable, any problems with the air conditioner are akin to a disaster. Masters are snapped up, calling and waiting for them does not have enough patience. But you can solve most of the problems yourself. Let's consider possible problems and how to fix them.

An unpleasant odor comes from the air conditioner

This is a very common problem, and the reason for it is that the device blows air in the room through itself, collecting dust along the way. Moisture condenses inside the device, and it turns out that the dust is moistened, begins to decompose - hence the unpleasant smell.

There is only one way out - you need to clean it. And it is quite possible to do this without a specialist. Unplug the appliance first, including from the outlet. Remove the cover, it is secured with small plastic latches, be careful not to break them. Remove the meshes that act as a filter. You won't be able to rinse them right away - the dirt on them is coked, you must first soak it well in a bowl of warm soapy water. Then brush over the meshes, wipe well and dry before installing back into the case.

There is a way to clean it more thoroughly.

The procedure is the same: remove the lid, remove the mesh, and then spray on the metal vaporizer and leave for the time indicated on the package of the product. Then rinse the entire interior with water under pressure - a car wash or at least a spray used by summer residents will come in handy. Water will wash away household chemicals outside, it will drain through the drainage pipe.

The air conditioner does not turn on

Do not rush to call the wizard, first try to find the cause yourself and fix the problem. See if the power cord is unplugged. Perhaps he was accidentally hit. The second possible option is the batteries on the remote control are dead, replace them with fresh ones.

If all of the above did not help, unfortunately, you will have to look for a master.

Air conditioner does not cool

There are two removable reasons why the device does not give the desired temperature. The first is filter clogging. How to fix it is written above. The second possible source of the problem is the same dead batteries, because of which you cannot regulate the temperature, the signal is simply so weak that it does not affect the device.

The air conditioner is noisy and shaking

If the vibration manifested itself immediately, as soon as the device was delivered to you, call the installers and make a complaint to them. This is an installation defect.

Most likely, after cleaning, you simply did not close the lid tightly. Or maybe it's the filters letting you know that they are clogged - this can also cause vibration.

Water flowed down the wall

If it begins to drip inside the room, then the condensate does not find its way out through the drainage of the device, it is most likely clogged. First, look at the drainage tray - it's on the bottom of the case. If there is water in it, you need to clean the pipe. Drain the water and unscrew the tray.

The air conditioner shuts off by itself

But this is already a serious trouble, and only a master will help you. Most likely - it's about electronics. Fuses may need to be changed. But it would be nice to clean the air conditioner before calling a specialist, perhaps it overheats and turns off due to dust.
