Outdoor AC Unit Not Working: Why Cooling Stops

If the indoor unit blows air but the outdoor unit does not run, the air conditioner cannot remove heat properly. The fan, capacitor, compressor, control signal and power supply all need attention. For a technical inspection, contact our air conditioner technician.

Continuing to run the system without cooling wastes energy and can increase stress on key components.
