Correctly selected and installed, air conditioners can work for many years, but any complex equipment has its weak points. Some reasons for breakdowns of split systems appear after incorrect use, others are caused by objective circumstances. If you face the scenario when your GE air conditioner spins but blows no air, start with the diagnosis of the main elements of the unit. If your air conditioner is running for cooling, the thermostat must be set to the appropriate option. Please note that the reason why the outdoor unit of the air conditioner does not turn on may be trivial - the thermostat stopped working because the value of the set temperature has already been received. Check if the dehumidification mode is currently running. It is desirable that all settings are correct. The most common reason for this malfunction is the shutdown of this element as a result of overheating. The problem may have the following explanations. The radiator of the outdoor unit is sealed with dirt so that it leads to a protective opening of the compressor circuit. Regular preventive maintenance of the unit will save you from this problem. Excessive refrigerant in the air conditioner leads to overload of the compressor and imbalance in the condenser and evaporator circuits. Check the pressure and, if it exceeds the permissible rate, pump out excess refrigerant. Simply releasing refrigerant into the air is prohibited by directives. The fan of the outdoor unit is out of order or blocked by debris, branches, etc. Capillary tubes clogged with dirt, moisture or chips. The reason for their failure may be poor-quality installation. It is better to entrust the replacement of tubes to specialists. The desiccant filter can also be clogged with moisture and dirt. The solution to the problem is to replace the dryer filter. In addition to overheating, low temperature outside the window can also cause compressor dysfunction. In some models, the cooling mode simply does not turn on in such a situation. When working for heating, the air conditioner also has its drawbacks: it may not start at temperatures lower than indicated in the instructions. The reason for the failure of the compressor may be a breakdown of the winding. If you are familiar with the operation of electrical devices, it will not be difficult for you to measure the resistance between the terminals, having previously disconnected the voltage and getting to the supply wires. It is better to entrust this procedure to those people who installed this equipment.
