Known Failure Points

The most common failure types, sorted by when they typically appear.

Condensate Drain Clog

The AC removes humidity as it cools, producing condensation that drains through a pipe. Algae, mold, and debris clog the drain, causing water to back up into the drain pan and potentially overflow, causing water damage to ceilings, walls, or floors.

Warning signs:
  • Water dripping from indoor unit or ceiling
  • Musty smell when AC runs
  • AC shuts off unexpectedly (float switch triggered)
  • Water stains on ceiling near indoor unit

Evaporator Coil Freeze-Up

When airflow is restricted (dirty filter, blocked vents) or refrigerant is low, the evaporator coil drops below freezing. Ice forms on the coil, further blocking airflow in a vicious cycle. The AC blows warm air or stops working entirely. Often a symptom of another issue.

Warning signs:
  • Ice visible on refrigerant lines or indoor unit
  • AC blowing warm or weak air
  • Water leaking from indoor unit when ice melts
  • Reduced airflow from vents

Blower Fan Motor Failure

The blower fan in the indoor unit circulates cooled air into the room. Dust accumulation on the barrel fan and bearing wear cause the motor to become noisy, inefficient, and eventually fail. When it stops, no air circulates despite the compressor running.
