There are several reasons why your air conditioner may not work or cool much worse. Before you call a specialist, you can check several points yourself.
Check whether the filters are dirty (clogged). Air filters should be checked and cleaned every 3 months or when the performance of the unit decreases. If the air filters become dirty or clogged, the cold air generated by the air conditioner does not circulate throughout the room properly. Check if the air inlets and outlets are not blocked. The air conditioner takes in air through the inlets and releases it through the outlet. Any obstructions (such as curtains, household objects, etc.) or accumulation of dirt in the openings may restrict the airflow. Check the ventilation holes and clean them if necessary.
The compressor may be running out of refrigerant. When the tightness of the system is lost, the refrigerant escapes, and the air conditioner does not cool or heat but can work as a fan. Depending on the area of the leak, freon comes out from a few minutes to several months. During this time, the load on the compressor increases. In this case, contact an authorized service center to check the compressor and refill with refrigerant if necessary.
