Major reasons behind faulty condenser of your AC unit

There are multiple reasons your AC unit is not cooling efficiently, such as:

· Clogging of air filters
· Issues with condenser coil
· Issue with compressor
· Faulty thermostat

The majority of issues are associated with condenser of your unit. Let’s have a look at what causes issues with the condenser.

Power supply-related problems

Check the power supply-related problems in the motors present inside the condenser. There are chances that compressor is faulty or there is issue with the wiring in the motors. There is also possibility that the issue is with electrical relays or capacitors. In some cases, compressor doesn’t turn on or fan doesn’t work. Connect with a trusted technician in such cases.

Presence of debris in condenser unit

As the condenser unit is located outside the house, it is prone to accumulation of grime and dirt. The regular functioning of this unit is affected when grass, leaves, gravels, and other debris get stuck in the condenser. Therefore, the location of installation becomes quite crucial.

Coolant leakage

In case of leakage in the coils or pipes, the overall performance of air conditioning system is affected. This happens because refrigerant that flows from the pipes aids in heat exchange. Leakage in pipes and condenser coils is one of the common issues. If coolants from the condenser unit show the signs of leakage, you should contact a professional immediately.
