There are things we have in our homes that we rely heavily on. We want to be able to come home and use the water, electricity and appliances we have. Most people rely on the use of these things to ensure that our life runs smooth and is easy. You want to make sure that you know what to do to keep your appliances working. One of the most important appliances that are necessary for comfort is the air conditioner. This unit has a lot of working parts and most people take it for granted until there is a problem. There are some parts of your AC unit that are commonly the reason that your unit is not working. NY NJ AC Connection outlines common parts that need to be repaired on your AC unit.
AC Limit Switch Repair
One of the things that you might notice is that your heater or your air conditioner is running and it will suddenly shut off. If it has not reached the temperature that you set on the thermostat this is a sign that there is a problem. If your unit does not turn back on to continue to change the temperature in the house it can be due to the limit switched. This is a part that is there as a safety measure. The switch will activate when the unit has started to overheat. The overheating is a danger to the unit and the house as well. The switch will stop the unit from running and this is a great way to protect the unit from becoming damaged. The switch can malfunction and will need to be replaced so that the unit is able to continue to work.
Bad AC Run Capacitor Replacement
Another part that is often an issue when the unit is not working properly is the run capacitor. This is a part of the unit that is housed outdoors and is often attached to the motor and the fan. Its job is to send the electrical jolt that is needed to start the motor and get the house to the proper temperature. If the run capacitor is not working and it is damaged it can prevent the unit from starting. The run capacitor can have issues if the outside unit is not being cleaned properly. This is a simple maintenance mistake that some homeowners make. If your unit is not starting it can be due to the run capacitor being dirty or needing to be replaced.
AC Circuit Board Repair
There are lots of parts that can have trouble and need to be replaced. Your AC unit has a circuit board that can malfunction and that can cause the unit to not be able to work at all. You want to make sure that if this is the issue that you have a technician out to make the repair. The repair is needed to be done by a professional because it is the board that tells all the parts what to do and when to do it.
