Before you contact your local Bryant air conditioning and heating professional for service, there are a few simple items you can check for yourself, which if found, could save you a service call.
5 Steps for a Homeowner to Troubleshoot your Bryant air conditioner before calling a service professional:
- Have you changed your furnace filter recently?
An extremely dirty filter can reduce or block proper airflow, causing your outdoor unit to shut down. If it has been more than three months, change your filter. Safety First! Please note before checking your furnace air filter make sure the power is turned off to the equipment
- Are your air return grilles blocked?
To allow for adequate air supply, furniture, drapes, and other objects must be at least four inches away from air returns. (Not sure which grilles are the returns? Look for the wide, flat grilles, typically on the walls.) Also check supply registers and ensure they are open, unblocked, and flowing air. - Is your thermostat in the “cool” position?
Always verify thermostat settings before scheduling air conditioner service and repair. Perhaps a family member has recently reprogrammed your system, or your thermostat is in need of new batteries or repair. Make sure your thermostat is in the “cool” position and set at least two degrees below the temperature in your home. - Is the blower motor in your furnace running?
If your thermostat is in the “cool” position, your furnace blower should be running. If not, verify the switch at the furnace is in the “on” position, and that there are tripped circuit breakers. - Is your condensing unit running?
Your condensing unit is located outside your home . If your condensing unit is not running, check that your system’s circuit breaker box/electrical panel is in the “on” position inside your home If the breaker is on, also check that the “outdoor disconnect switch” (located near the outdoor unit in an 8” x 16” by 4” deep gray box) is switched to the “on” position as well.
Air conditioner still not running properly?
If you have exhausted all of the above avenues, it is time to consult your local air conditioning company. Be sure to have your model number on hand prior to phoning for service and repair.
Locating your model number
Knowing the model number of your Bryant air conditioner will help make troubleshooting and sourcing parts easier. You will find your air conditioner model number in the owner’s manual and paperwork that came with your Bryant system. It can also be found on the rating plate sticker located on the unit above the back-seated service valve connections. Can’t find the model number? Contact your area Bryant dealer for assistance prior to scheduling your service appointment.
