My air conditioner compressor is blocked by bushes touching the unit in the front is this a problem?
Jun 27, 2008 by maxcat2005 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I live out in a condo and I noticed today that someone planted bushes legal in front of my compressor to the air conditioner so they touch the uint. The bushes are only in the front and not on the sides or in the back. Will this cut down on the expertness of the air conditioner because one side is blocked by these bushes which touch the unit.?
Most if not all manufacturers lack at least 6" clearance to coil for proper airflow. If the bushes are indeed touching, you could end up with a problem as the bushes grow. Crooked coil fins and friction leaks can cross someone's mind.
Trim the bushes back to have at least 6" clearance and you'll be skilful.
As others have said, shade helps the unit so don't dismiss them completely.

How do I get my central air conditioner compressor to kick on?
Sep 19, 2008 by not_a_hint | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I noticed that my middle air conditioner in my house was blowing air but not blowing cold air. I went exterior and noticed that my outdoor air conditioner condenser fan was running beautiful but the compressor wasn't making any noise. Any suggestions?
I looked at the unite box and there are two fuses...is one for the compressor and one for the fan on the condenser...cause like I said, the fan on the condenser does arrive on.
Could be low on freon and the evaporator wind is froze up. Are you getting or do you know where to look to see if any condensation is coming from the enwrap? Turn unit off and after a while you should see some sign of water dripping (from the ice melting on the Nautical fake) If this is the case you probably have a leak somewhere in the system. leak needs set right and freon added to system.

Car doesn't blow cold air. How to get my the air conditioner compressor clutch to engage?
May 17, 2008 by danrapoza | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. A/C blows, but not chest. I've been looking around a bit, and found that the clutch on the air conditioner compressor won't take part in. I've tried jumping the plug on the accumulator (I accept that's the low pressure switch?), but it still doesn't involve. Where should I check to see if the compressor is getting juice at all?
check up on volts at the compressor clutch plug or put 2 jumper wire on the block one with 12 v. pos the other with 12 v. neg
if the clutch is good you will consider the plate "snap " closed up .also the motor DOESN'T need to be running when doing this examination... be safe !!

Where do the air conditioner compressor in the top of the RV takes the power from??
Jan 18, 2007 by Ernesto T | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have seen that in the motor homes the air conditioner is on the top of the vehicule, and also I be sure that all the air conditioners have a compressor that consumes a lot of energy. In the cars the compressor is spoken for by a belt to the engine, but what about these RV air conditioners??
there stirring sort of like a window unit in a quarter the rv air conditioner works when its plugged in at the campground or by an on board generator

My mechanic has never had any luck with the aftermarket, they always ahve to be charmed out and replaced again and although they may be under warranty, there is a lot of time involved, and I don't after to give him the headache.
Gah, why would you prodigality that kind of money? A rebuilt compressor will last longer anyway...
