Let’s take a look at the common causes and solutions for fixing an AC that’s stopped cooling.
Common Reasons for an AC to Stop Cooling
When an air conditioning unit isn’t looked after or it starts to get old, it’s common for it to suffer a few problems. It’s recommended to inspect your AC at least once a month and call in professionals for servicing and maintenance at regular intervals. Common reasons your aircon may have stopped working include:
- Dirty/Blocked filters
- Dirty/Blocked evaporator coil
- Blocked condensation drain
- Shortage of refrigerant
- Vermin damage to internal components
- Power supply problem

Aircon Problems You Can Solve
Clogged Air Filter
The purpose of the filter is to strain dirt and debris from passing through into the indoor air supply. When it gets clogged, minimal air gets through providing less air to cool. The evaporator coil could also freeze when the air filter is too dirty, stopping cool air from passing into your home. If using washable filters, aim to clean them every month.
Dirty Condenser Unit (Outdoors)
The evaporator unit on the inside of your home absorbs heat and transfers it outside to the condenser unit outside. If this is clogged up with dirt and debris, it will not do its job releasing heat and your AC will struggle to keep your home cool. Ensure the condenser coil is free from debris such as plastic bags and leaves. If the condenser coil is blocked with dust or pet hair, it is ok to use a garden hose to wash out the coil.
