Possible Causes

Severely clogged filters, Dust-clogged evaporator coil, Blower wheel packed with dust, Weak indoor fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning.

Steps to try:

  • Clean or replace filters: This is the most common cause of weak airflow.
  • Clean blower wheel: Remove the front cover and carefully brush or vacuum the blower fins.
  • Clean evaporator coil: Use coil cleaner to remove embedded dust.

When to call a technician: If airflow remains weak, the fan motor may be failing and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
