My outside AC unit wont cut on but the fan in the house blows when i turn it on. What's wrong?

Question

When I turn my ac on, the fan turns on n air comes out the vent, but its not cool and the unit outside wont cut on. What could possibly be wrong with it?

Answer 1

check and see if its frozen outside. Look down the shroud and see if there is ice. If so, let it thaw for 24 hours. #2 your coolant is low and you need a refill. #3 turn the dial all the way down to see if it works. #4 your fuse is blown

Answer 2

This just happened to me. Your A/C unit is gone. Your fan probably still works because it is a separate unit because you also need the fan for your heat. Condenser, which is outside, is different. I had to get a new unit. EXPENSIVE.

Answer 3

Your outside unit fan maybe out dear

Answer 4

The A/C's compressor unit is down. Call the repairman. I'm sorry to deliver bad news.

Answer 5

my guess is two different power sources.

your fan plugs into one, your AC into another.

you'll have to check the circuit breaker box or fuse box and maybe even look for a re-set button on the motor.

stay cool!

Answer 6

your refrigation unit might be shot or the motor that runs the compresser may have issues(if you have any work done,it can save you money by checking to see if the unit needs recharged so getting this all done at once can save big $$$$$$$$$$

Answer 7

check break of your ac compressor. it might be set to off. otherwise, call ac service guy to check circuit, compress motor.
if ac is running but not cool air then you need check leakage or refill freon.

Answer 8

Perhaps the temperature setting has been tampered with. You'd better check the remote control to see if the setting are okay.

Answer 9

check the breaker switch outside.

Answer 10

sounds like the compressor outside isn't working...could have frozen up.
