Whats up with A/C?

Question

I live in apartment with what is basically a large window unit built into the wall and it was working great until three days ago. Now the compressor will kick in periodically and it puts out cold air but will only stay on for about 1 minute, and does not come on very frequently. I know it is supposed to cycle in and out but at some points during the day, it is hotter in my apartment than it is outside and it will still not be on. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

The beauty of renting is that you don't have to fix it. Call the people that you rent from and have them send somebody out to fix it.

Answer 3

One thing you could try is to open it and vacuum everything, especially the filter.  If it's clogged, could be tripping some safety switch or something.

Answer 4

I suspect the thermostat is not working though you have set at max setting it gets cut off, call a good technician to verify and repair

Answer 5

Yeah, call the super.

Answer 6

Try to adjust the thermostat to a lower temp.thats about all you can do. If that does not work right away,  you need to call the apt. maintenance.
