Why does my AC run non stop?
A clogged filter essentially “suffocates” your air conditioner because it restricts the amount of air your system can bring in. This is what a clogged filter does to your AC. And if your AC system can’t breathe easily because the filter is clogged, it’ll run non-stop trying to cool your home.
Why does my outdoor air conditioner fan stop running?
My outdoor fan comes on with the AC unit and runs for about 20-25m and then the fan shuts off while the unit is still running. It’s free turning when I turn it with a screwdriver (not bound). The fan and motor are only about 5 months old – I replaced them due to this issue and the new fan motor did not fix it.
When do I Turn Off the AC fan?
If I wait until way later (hours), the fan will start with the unit and run another 20-25m before turning off (while the unit is still running). Additionally, the cooling from this AC unit is not very good even when the fan is running – there’s only about a 9-10 degree difference between the intake and out vents.

What to do if your AC unit won’t start?
Turn off the A/C unit and call in an HVAC technician to replace the capacitor as soon as possible. This is a quick and simple repair for a professional.
