• Blown Fuse: When your air conditioner stops working abruptly it can mean a blown fuse.
• Freezing Up: If your air conditioner has ice on the coils and there is no air flow, it might be frozen.
• Just Humming: If your air conditioner is just humming but it is not vibrating or cooling, the cause could be a bad transformer.
• Just Shut Off: If your air conditioner just shuts off it could be a result of a thermostat malfunction, a tripped breaker, a float switch system, or a stolen condenser.
• Keeps Turning On and Off: Some reasons for your air conditioner to turn on and off include an oversized air conditioner unit or a backed up drain line with a clog or blockage.
• Leaking Water: Some causes for air conditioner leaks include a backed up drain line that might have a clog or a blockage, a cracked drain pan, or frozen coils.
• Low on Freon: If your air conditioner unit keeps icing up, it might need refrigerant.
• Making Noise: There could be a damaged balance blower wheel or condenser fan blade; it can also mean that the compressor is bad.
• Mold: Causes of mold include water leaks, dirty filters, or an oversized unit.
• Not Blowing Air: This can be a result of a possible bad breaker, the coils could be frozen, or you might have a bad fan motor.
• Not Cooling: Possible causes include a problem with the thermostat setting, frozen coils, or a tripped float switch.

• Tripped Breaker: This can be a result of a few different problems including a shorted motor or a bad grounded compressor.
• Vibrating: This usually means that there may be a part off balance, or something blocking a blower or a fan.
