Amana AC Troubleshooting Guide
Amana AC not blowing cold air
- Outdoor cooling coil may be clogged – Leaves, dirt, and other debris can get stuck to the inlet side of your Amana AC’s cooling unit. Clear away tall grass, sticks, leaves, or anything else that might block your unit.
- Indoor air handler coil is blocked – Indoor house debris like soot or pollen can block the coils on your indoor air handler. Wipe away any debris and change your filter often.
- Filters are clogged or dirty – Clean or replace your filter.
- Thermostat controls are set incorrectly – Try resetting your thermostat and setting it to the desired temperature.
Amana AC not blowing any air
There might be a blown fuse or open circuit breaker that is preventing the air handler from working properly. Reset your breaker or replace the fuse. Be sure to check the return grills for blockages that stop air from circulating in the system.
Amana AC constantly running
If your thermostat is set to high your Amana AC will run too much. Reset your thermostat. If this doesn’t help your AC might be too small for your home.
Amana AC drain pan overflowing
The drain pan under your Amana AC collects condensation and a small electric pump should move that water to a drainage pipe. Check the pipe for kinks or damage, and then check that the pump is plugged in.
