AC Repair in Tezpur: 8 Common Air Conditioner Problems and What They Mean

When your AC stops working in the middle of a Tezpur summer, every hour counts. Knowing what the symptoms mean helps you explain the problem quickly and avoid unnecessary repairs. These are the eight AC problems we are called for most often in Tezpur.

1. AC is running but not cooling

The most common complaint. Usually caused by dirty filters or coils, low refrigerant gas, or a faulty capacitor in the outdoor unit. Start by cleaning the filters. If cooling does not improve, call a technician.

2. Water leaking from the indoor unit

A blocked drain pipe, a broken drain tray or a unit that was not installed level. Very common in Assam's humid months. Switch off the AC to avoid wall damage and book a drain flush.

3. Outdoor unit not starting

If the indoor unit runs but the outdoor fan and compressor stay silent, the cause is often a failed capacitor, a tripped breaker or a loose wire. This needs a technician with the right tools.

4. Ice forming on the coil or pipes

Ice usually means low gas or blocked airflow. Switch the AC to fan mode to let it thaw, then get it checked. Running an AC with ice on the coil can damage the compressor.

5. Strange noises

• Rattling: loose panels or screws
• Buzzing: electrical issue or failing motor
• Hissing: possible gas leak
• Clicking at start: relay or capacitor wearing out

6. Bad smell

A damp, musty smell points to mould on the coil. A burning smell means you should switch off immediately and call for help.

7. AC switching on and off repeatedly

Called short cycling. Causes include a dirty condenser, wrong gas level, thermostat sensor issues or an oversized AC.

8. Remote or display not responding

Try new batteries first. If the unit still does not respond, the PCB (control board) may be damaged, which is often linked to voltage spikes.

What you can safely check yourself

• Replace remote batteries
• Clean the filters
• Check the MCB or breaker for the AC
• Make sure nothing is blocking the outdoor unit

Anything involving gas, wiring or opening the units should be handled by a trained technician.
