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.
