Why is my AC still running when I turn it off?
If your air conditioner keeps running when it’s turned off this could be a sign of shorted thermostat wiring. A continuously running air conditioner could also be triggered based on the settings selected for the unit.
Why does my AC compressor stay on when I turn it off?
When your AC system is low on refrigerant, the compressor will malfunction and shut off your compressor because the pressure is too low. Then, when your compressor is off, the pressure will rise again and it will turn back on.
Why is my AC not shutting off?
The most common reason that your Air Conditioner fan won’t turn off is because a stuck relay keeping the circuit closed. Double-check the thermostat and make sure the fan is not set to ON, and that it still runs when switching it to AUTO or OFF (if your thermostat has an OFF setting).
Why is my window air conditioner running but not cooling the house?
If the window air conditioner’s compressor and fans are running but the air conditioner isn’t cooling, possible causes include a failed compressor or the lack of refrigerant due to a leak in the sealed system. If the compressor isn’t running but the fans work, the start relay or compressor might have failed.
Why will my AC not shut off?
The most common reason that your Air Conditioner fan won’t turn off is because a stuck relay keeping the circuit closed. If it’s not the relay, your thermostat likely has a shorted cable or needs to be replaced.
What does it mean when your AC is running but not Cooling Your House?
Your thermostat is switched to ON. If your thermostat switch is set to ON, that means the blower will run constantly—even when your system isn’t cooling your home, which will result in warm air blowing from your vents. How to fix it: Switch your thermostat to AUTO (see image below), so air only blows from your vents when the AC is cooling.
What should I do if my air conditioner is not shutting off?
Check the fan settings on your thermostat – the toggle should be in the AUTO position so that the fan only runs while the air conditioner is on. If the thermostat fan setting is ON, move it to AUTO – with the temperature set above the current room temperature, the thermostat should tell the air conditioner to shut off as well as the fan.
When does the HVAC fan turn on and off?
In normal operation, when your thermostat is set to “auto,” it will tell the blower fan plus the heating or cooling components to turn on and off at the same time when the desired temperature is reached. In many systems, the blower fan runs a minute or so before heating or cooling begins and ends to get air flowing.
What happens when you set your AC fan to auto?
When your fan is set to AUTO on your thermostat, it will only run when the cooling component of your AC is running (when your AC system has conditioned air to blow throughout your home). However, if your fan is set to ON instead of AUTO, it will continuously blow, regardless of whether the cooling component of your AC is on or not.
