Is your window air conditioner not cooling properly or the compressor making strange noises? The compressor is the heart of the AC unit. Here are some basic steps to troubleshoot and potentially repair a faulty compressor yourself.
Check Compressor Connections
Ensure all electrical connections to the compressor are secure and not loose or corroded. Tighten any loose wiring terminals.
Inspect Compressor Capacitor
Window AC compressors have a start or run capacitor that can fail over time. Test and replace a faulty capacitor to get the compressor running.
Clean Condenser Coils
Dirty condenser coils restrict airflow, causing the compressor to overheat. Carefully clean the coils using a coil brush or vacuum.
Check Refrigerant Levels
Low refrigerant levels put extra strain on the compressor. Look for any signs of leaks and top up refrigerant levels if low.
Oil the Compressor
Over time, compressors can run low on lubrication oil. Add a few drops of approved compressor lubricating oil through the ports.
Repair or Replace Compressor?
If the above steps don’t revive the compressor, further repairs like re-gassing or replacing the compressor valves may be required. However, a compressor replacement is often more cost-effective.
