Unit blows cool for a little while and then the air stops blowing but the unit is still running.?

I suppose when you say " the air stops blowing but the unit is still running" you mean the air that is blowing is not cool. If so, then the thermostat is faulty or needs to be set a lower temperature setting. If the unit blows cool for a few minutes and not cool for a few minutes, then cool again, etc. (called short-cycling), the unit is low on freon.


Why is air conditioner running outside unit but not blowing inside?

If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.


Cool air is blowing but doesn't seem to be very much and the house feels damp and muggy?

If cool air is blowing but doesn't seem to be very much, and the house feels damp and muggy, it is probably because the outdoor A/C unit is not functioning properly. The compressor should be checked.


Why is your air blowing hot air?

It may seem obvious, but it can happen. As you were setting the thermostat, you could have flicked the selector switch over to "heat" instead of "cool." If this happened, then the reason you feel the hot air blowing from your system is because the heat is on. Simply move the switch to the "cool" setting to start chilling out. Check the outside unit. This is where your compressor and condenser coils are located. Make sure the outside power switch is turned on to power the compressor. Without power, the system might run from the inside air handler, but it will not cool. Also check to see if there is debris such as leaves or other items blocking the air intakes on the system. This also can prevent proper cooling. Checking for airflow restrictions around the outside unit should be a regular maintenance routine.


Are the blades outside the unit supposed to throw the air out?

Which direction should the fan blades turn on the outside HVAC unit fan motor removing the hot air from the unit or blowing air into the unit -All Electric Heat Pump?

Without seeing the unit it`s hard to say with absolute certainty but most are air out.


Your ac unit is blowing hot air but the outside unit blows cold air?

Check the temperature setting is not too high so that the unit does not switch on to cool the air. If it is set normally then the unit has a fault. Repairing an air conditioning unit is not a Do-It-Yourself job. The best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician to check the unit for you. If it is faulty it can then be decided if it is worth spending money to repair it or if it makes more sense to replace it with a new one.


Why is your house air exchanger blowing hot air?

There are too many different reasons. But it seems your unit outside is not working properly.


What could be wrong if my central air conditioning unit outside is buzzing every so often and inside is blowing air just not cold air?

your outside unit is buzzing because the low voltage control signal is activating the switch " the contactor" but your unit for some reason is not starting thus no cool air. either your circuit breaker is tripped or you may have other more serious problems. call a licensed hvac service contractor.


Should outside unit be running when inside thermostat is set on heat?
