My air conditioner doesn't blow cold air continually. It will for a minute or two then the fan switches on to lukewarm air? It's not cooling barely at all. Please help. I've rinsed the filter and the coils look pretty clean.

SOURCE: compact air conditioner

well the thing is that you puting sheets and thing under it only make alot of things harder for you because u are just keeping the some of the water in the ac so you keep making it freeze more so this is what u do u take the ac out of ur window and put a towel on the floor but make sure it folded twice because you will have water all over the place yoyu take the ac from the back and tilled it and u will see water come out tryu front and back to make sure make sure all the water out and put it back inthe window turn it one and ur do but un mit want to do this latly so it want freeze as much

If the a/c fails to continue to blow cold there could be a few problems you can look for. First once you activate the system check to see if the compressor kicks in. You will hear the compressor humming . Once the a/c quits cooling go and see if the compressor is still running. If its not running its probibly gone into thermal overload (compressor overheated). If that is the case then you need to check to see if the coils are icing up if they are icing up then the problem is with 1) air flow restriction filter dirty, coils dirty simple repairs there replace filter, clean evaporator coil with a coil cleaner that can be purchased at a home repair store cleaning the condensor coil the same. 2) system is low on freon in which case the system will need to be recharged. Also, If you have a digital thermostat replace the batteries that may also be of some help. Good Luck on repairs

Try replacing the compressor capacitor.

If the indoor coil is icing up, you are either low on freon, or the indoor coil is very dirty. This will cause it to ice even though you have replaced the filter. See if the suction line/large copper line has ice on it on the outdoor unit. If so, its low on charge or the indoor coil has plugged up and not getting enough air flow across it. Please keep me posted.

Hello, yes the unit can be recharged but you need to install a piercing valve on tje low side of the system to charge in the refrigerant here is a link to where you can buy piercing valves. http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/hvac/parts/ac_accessories/Supco-Acces-Valves
