What should I do if my AC fan wont turn off?

Before calling your service technician out to start replacing components, check the thermostat settings first. Set the desired temperature above the current room temperature so the air conditioner unit turns off (set the thermostat below room temperature in the winter to check your furnace). Fan still blowing after a few minutes?

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.

Why does my AC go off when the temp is high?

When not working, it doesn’t move off from dead cold (flatline pointing left), even when heater is blowing warm air (after car has warmed up). DIC gives “A/C off due to high engine temp” error from the time the ignition switch is turned on to start the car. I believe it was a “P0128 Coolant Thermostat – below regulating temperature” code.

When to turn off AC on Chevy Cruze?

Rarely works when temp is below about 40 degrees F. Works 50-60% (optimistically, lol) of the time when temp is above 40F. When working, it reads normal operating temp, rising after the car has been running a few minutes, then flattening off around 210.

What causes an air conditioner to overheat and shut down?

2) Dirty condenser coils. Condenser coils are refrigerant filled tubes running through your air conditioner’s outside unit. If these coils are dirty, then your air conditioner runs longer, causing the air conditioner to overheat.

What causes an indoor fan to not shut off?

So What Causes This? 1 A fan relay that is stuck closed 2 A shorted thermostat cable 3 A bad thermostat

When does a HVAC fan need to be running?

In many systems, the blower fan runs a minute or so before heating or cooling begins and ends to get air flowing. The only other time your blower fan should be running on its own is if you’ve flipped the thermostat switch to “on” to temporarily run your blower fan for increased air circulation. Common fan issues.

Why does my air handler fan keep running?

After a predetermined time, to allow the heat elements to warm up, the sequencer sends high voltage to the blower. It is a common problem for the fan contacts to stick, causing the fan to run continuously.

Why is my AC unit buzzing but the fan is not spinning?

Oh, no—your air conditioner’s not working. You go outside to check the A/C unit, and it’s buzzing but the fan’s not spinning. What’s going on? You may have a bad capacitor. The good news is, it’s pretty easy to find out. A bad capacitor is a common A/C problem with a straightforward fix.

Why does my air handler fan keep cutting off?

Remove the screws, then lift and pull the panel off. If the heat is electric, the fan is probably controlled by a sequencer. When the thermostat calls for heat, the low voltage activates the sequencer, which in turn sends high voltage to the electric heat elements.

Why does my fan not start on its own?

If the fan takes off and then keeps going on its own, you more than likely have a bad start capacitor. You took over its job of kick-starting the fan by pushing the blades. If the fan doesn’t start running, you may have a bad fan motor.
