Question

I turned on my window air conditioner this morning. It made its usual little noise then sounded worse; so I turned it off. I turned it on just now and I hear it running but there's no air coming from it. It isn't even blowing hot air. HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

pull the unit put it on a work bench and remove the outer cover try spinning the blades of the fans the shaft should turn freely with almost no Resistance at all if not get some penetrating oil and soak the shaft on both sides of the motor where it emerges spin the blades back and forth to work the oil in.to speed this up you can tip the front up so the oil runs into the front of the motor and do the same with the rear. if the fan loosens up plug the unit into an extension cord and keeping hands clear try the unit on fan only then on cool if it starts working ok un plug it button it back up and install it in the window and see how it does if you can't get the fan going you might as well replace the unit a new fan is costly and can be complicated to replace. good luck

Answer 2

Sounds like the fan motor is out.
