The issue with a not cooling or improperly cooling air conditioner needs an urgent solution. If you notice that your Amana AC turns on but isn’t cooling as usually don’t wait and contact a professional maintenance helper. However, there are a couple of things you can do before. Turn the thermostat to “off”. Find the electrical disconnect (a metal box) near your outside unit, usually on an exterior wall. Open the electrical disconnect and find the switch that turns off the air conditioner. This may be a pullout switch or a circuit breaker shutoff. Simply pull the plug out or flip the switch to the “off” position. Use gloved hands to remove any large pieces of debris. Delicately vacuum the condenser fins with a soft-brush attachment. Be careful not to bend any fins. Use the water hose spray to clean off loose debris (grass, leaves, etc) on the outside unit. Spray the outside unit with the coil cleaner. Wait 10-15 minutes as the cleaner foams and bonds with the dirt on the coils. Rinse the coil cleaner off with the hose. Try replacing the filter in case you haven’t been doing that for a long time. To replace the Amana air filter turn off the system’s power and open the panel to gain access. Find your air conditioner’s filter. Usually, these are located near the return air duct. Remove the dirty air filter. If it’s reusable, clean the filter, or grab a new one if you’re using disposable filters. Reinsert a new air filter. Replace the access panel and turn the power back on.
