Why is the air conditioner blowing cold?
The air conditioner may start blowing cold air in the winter. This also happens if the heating function is not working properly. There are several reasons why the air conditioner may not blow cold air. Do not rush to worry and seek the help of a service specialist. The solution may be quite simple.
The reason for this may not be a malfunction in the device. When using the air conditioner in cold weather, ice begins to accumulate on its external body. This is due to the difference in temperatures. On the one hand, the outside air is cold, while in the living room it is warmer.
Another possible cause is the use of an older air conditioner. You should perform frequent maintenance and repairs to avoid similar problems in the future.
If the ice buildup on the outdoor unit is small, then the problem is not that serious. However, over time, it can damage the air conditioner parts.
Ice buildup is detrimental to the operation of the motor. It also reduces the efficiency of the unit when it needs to blow warm air. The biggest nuisance from ice is a possible freon leak. This is a really serious problem.
Clogging of the unit's parts can cause it to not be able to blow warm air in the winter. Clean the filters and coils frequently. It is advisable to do this at least once a month.
You may have mistakenly set the appliance to the wrong settings. Check whether you have selected the "heating" mode and what degrees it is set to.
A common reason for the air conditioner to blow cold in the winter is the activation of the “defrost” option. The mode is also known as “defrosting”. Its activation does not mean that there is any malfunction with the air conditioner. Activating the “defrost” option protects the unit from damage.
