Your air conditioner runs well, it doesn\u2019t stop until it needs to, but the air isn\u2019t exactly cold. It seems like it was fine yesterday, so what gives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know it\u2019s not too hot out, so your AC should be able to keep up. Instead, it runs for way too long and your house takes ages to cool down. It might not be as big of a problem as you think\u2013it could be a tiny sensor causing all this bedlam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019ll need air conditioning services in Kentucky<\/a> to verify this issue and fix it, it\u2019s also important to know just what the problem is in the first place. Let\u2019s explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your AC Blower Motor Has a Sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inside of your blower motor, there\u2019s a resistor. In all types of electronics, a resistor resists the flow of electricity, which is essential when you have variable functions for a device. If it\u2019s not as simple as off\/on (and air conditioners aren\u2019t that simple), there\u2019s likely a resistor somewhere in the circuitry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the blower motor runs, it sends the cool air through your air ducts, then it comes out of the vents and descends down into the room below. And if the blower motor isn\u2019t working as intended, the air won\u2019t actually reach its destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not pushing air out with enough force, which causes the cold air to sort of just sit in the air ducts. Some of it comes out through the vents, but there\u2019s not enough air pressure to propel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Might Be Undoing All That Hard Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your AC cools the air, and your blower motor sends it through the ductwork. However, these machines use electricity, and the byproduct of that is heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside of your blower motor, there\u2019s a device called a heat sink. It holds onto heat, but not all of it\u2013just enough to make sure the blower motor never overheats. Now if the cool air just hangs around, the residual heat from that heat sink could be warming up the air, even if it\u2019s only a little bit. That could be one of the reasons why the air that\u2019s coming out of your vents isn\u2019t as cold as you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So How Do You Fix It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You <\/em>don\u2019t. It\u2019s something that should be done by an HVAC technician since it deals with the wiring on the inside of your air conditioner. It\u2019s never a good idea to mess around with wiring unless you\u2019re a certified electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to fix it, the sensor is replaced. Thankfully, these are relatively cheap parts compared to the usual types of air conditioner repairs. It\u2019s certainly much better than replacing a condenser. Plus, a DIY solution could void your air conditioner warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Repair ASAP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This could be the issue, but it could also be something else entirely. Because it\u2019s not 100% clear and you can\u2019t diagnose an AC problem through a blog post like this, it\u2019s imperative to call and schedule your AC repair as soon as possible. That way a certified technician can inspect the problem, and offer a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
