Possible Causes
Clogged air filter, iced-over evaporator coil, blocked intake or discharge vents, failing indoor fan motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or inspecting internal parts.
Steps:
- Clean filter: Remove and clean the air filter.
- Check for ice: Inspect the evaporator coil for ice buildup. If present, turn the unit off and allow all ice to melt. Then restart with a higher fan speed and ensure vents are not blocked.
- Inspect vents: Make sure furniture, curtains, or other objects are not blocking the intake or discharge.
- Fan motor: If airflow remains weak with a clean filter and no ice, the indoor fan motor may be failing and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
