If you often turn the air conditioner on/off, you may encounter this: there is a 3-minute pause before starting the compressor. This is required to equalize the pressure inside the air conditioner circuit to protect the compressor from damage. The compressor is the most important component of the air conditioner. However, it is a bad sign if the appliance turns off just after that or works for several minutes only.
Frequent breakdowns of air conditioners refer to the periodic malfunctions of the entire climate device. In such cases, the device turns on as usual, usually works for a while, and then the air conditioner stops cooling. At the same time, the air conditioner compressor does not start for a long time; after starting, it stops humming again and, accordingly, gives cold. In such cases, you must call a specialist to refill the refrigerant. Do not postpone the specialist's visit for a long time because the long-term operation of the motor compressor without interruption shortens the unit’s service life and the entire split system.
