Most Common Reasons AC Stops Cooling:

  • Dirty Air Filter – Restricts airflow and lowers efficiency.

  • Low Refrigerant – Leaks prevent proper cooling.

  • Dirty Condenser Coils – Reduces heat transfer outdoors.

  • Faulty Compressor – Stops the system from circulating refrigerant.

  • Bad Capacitors – Prevent fan or compressor from starting.

  • Malfunctioning Fan Motors – Limits airflow over coils.

  • Electrical Issues – Tripped breakers or faulty wiring can shut down the system.

  • Thermostat Problems – Incorrect settings or dead batteries.

  • Blocked or Leaky Ducts – Reduces airflow to rooms.
