The summer months can be a pain to bear without air conditioning. If you are facing problems with your air conditioners, then its time to do a little trouble shooting with air conditioning repairs. A few common problems seen are water puddling under the air conditioner, defective cooling, improper temperature control and unpleasant sounds while switching off the unit etc. You can try to solve a few of these problems by yourself without spending money on technicians. Here’s how you can start.

1. Make sure you have the manual of the air conditioner handy before attempting any repairs. Rake away any of the debris around the exterior condenser of the machine.

2. Clean the grille of your conditioner regularly to increase the life of air conditioner.

3. Remove particles accumulated in the air filter and choke ducts. This will prevent faulty functioning of air conditioner.

4. As a safety measure, always switch of the power when you remove the filter or any other part of the air conditioner. While disconnecting the fan, do not keep any wire loose. You have to remember the sequence by which you removed the wires and how to reconnect to the main board.

5. If the air conditioner has switched off due to a tripped or broken down fuse, replace it yourself by referring to the manual instead off calling a technician. Always check the fuse in case of automatic switch-off problems.

6. Water collecting below the air conditioner is a common problem and can be easily solved by removing the faulty duct. The instruction for replacing the leaking duct is readily available in the manual.

7. But problems associated with unexpected temperature changes are mainly due to faulty thermostats or even faulty heating pumps. Unless you are a certified mechanic please don’t try to solve this problem by yourself. Repair your air conditioner by an authorized technician from the same manufacturing company.
