If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged air filters, heavily fouled evaporator coil, blocked return air path, failing indoor fan motor

Steps:

Clean filters: Remove and wash filters with mild detergent; dry completely.
Inspect coil: Look at the evaporator coil behind the filters. If it is covered in dust, clean with a soft brush or coil cleaner.
Check intake and outlet: Ensure furniture or curtains are not blocking the indoor unit's intake or discharge.
Fan speed test: Cycle through fan speeds on the remote. If speed does not change, the fan motor or control may be faulty and require replacement.
