Your air conditioning compressor is a vital part of your air conditioning system. The compressor compresses cool, low pressure gas into a hot, high pressure gas, which is then sent to the condenser. Once this gas reaches the condenser, it is cooled into a liquid and sent to the evaporator. Although the compressor is only one of the three major components of your air conditioning system, if it fails, your entire air conditioning unit will not produce cool air effectively.

Simple Compressor Troubleshooting Tips
Consider these minor troubleshooting tips if youre experiencing issues with your compressor.
- Shut off the power to your air conditioning unit before you start any work on it. Check for any wires that look loose, worn or burned. Check for any damaged wire connections in the compressor terminal box. These types of damages will require professional repair services.
- Check to see if the condenser fan starts and is working properly. Look at the compressor to see if it is not starting. If this is the case, then your air conditioner may be low on refrigerant, the compressor may be too hot or broken.
- Inspect the fan motor because it can affect the compressor too. For example, a fan motor may lock when it is running or it may have poor wings. The fan motor can also have bad components that may need replacing.
