Does the air conditioner not start immediately or does not start at all? What are the causes of the problems and how to fix them?
The air conditioner will work for a long time and without breakdowns if several conditions are met:
- selected correctly;
- installed correctly;
- operated correctly.
Another condition is timely service. For example, if you do not refuel the air conditioner with freon in time, heat exchange is disrupted. Compressor load will increase and may overheat and shutdown. And this is one of the most difficult and expensive units.
Why doesn't the air conditioner turn on?
The air conditioner does not turn on if the mains voltage is too low. In this case, you need to install a stabilizer and connect the equipment through it.
If the air conditioner turns on and off, there is probably a problem with the toggle switch. With poor contact in the switch, the technique cannot work stably. The toggle switch should be replaced.
Sometimes fuses blow and the air conditioner does not turn on. New fuses are installed. Such problems are detected using an ampere-voltmeter.
Why the air conditioner compressor does not turn on
The air conditioner compressor does not turn on if one of the following conditions is not met:
- the engine is running;
- the power button is recessed;
- the system has normal pressure (a special sensor stops work if it rises or falls);
- the blower fan is running;
- fuse ok;
- the relay is turned on.
Often, the air conditioner compressor will not turn on if the outside temperature is too low.
And one of the common reasons is the lack of freon in the system. The air conditioner does not turn on immediately; Only a specialist can find the cause and correct it in any of the above cases.
When you can't turn on the air conditioner
There is a main rule when it is impossible to turn on the air conditioner: if the air conditioners are not equipped with a special "winter" kit, then they can only be turned on when the outside temperature is above -5 degrees.
Attempts to start equipment in cold weather can lead to the fact that the air conditioner turns on and off, after which the compressor breaks.
The "winter" kit consists of a drain heater, a crankcase and some other internal components, and a fan speed controller.
This modernization will enable the air conditioner to be turned on at -20 degrees.
Many consumers believe that the air conditioner cannot be turned on when the window is open. Indeed, it is stupid and uneconomical to keep windows open all the time when the technology is on. The air conditioner will be wasted. But sometimes such a procedure must be carried out to quickly change the air in the room. The equipment accelerates the convection of air masses that are blown out, instead of them fresh air comes from the street.
