Electrical issues cause plenty of troubles for normal usage of the air conditioner. As a rule normal maintenance and regular cleaning prolongs normal functioning and keeps repair technicians away. Unfortunately, overused air conditioners require additional attention. If your air conditioner fails, begin by checking any fuses or circuit breakers. Unless you happen to be a licensed electrician, messing with circuits yourself can be very dangerous. If your air conditioner doesn’t turn off even when the set temperature is reached, you may have an issue with the electronic controls. Your thermostat could be malfunctioning or the sensor may have been knocked out of position. The compressor and fan controls can wear out, especially when the air conditioner turns on and off frequently, as is common when a system is oversized. Because corrosion of wire and terminals is also a problem in many systems, electrical connections and contacts should be checked during a professional service call. Room air conditioners feature a thermostat sensor, located behind the control panel, which measures the temperature of air coming into the evaporator coil. If the sensor is knocked out of position, the air conditioner could cycle constantly or behave erratically. The sensor should be near the coil but not touching it; adjust its position by carefully bending the wire that holds it in place. Of course, you may simply invite a technician to diagnose the appliance for you – especially keeping into account that the diagnostics sometimes may take a while and, in certain cases, will require you to use a multi-meter.
