An AC that runs without cooling can be frustrating. Some causes are simple to check, while others need a qualified technician.
Safe things to check first
Thermostat mode and set temperature
User-accessible filter, following the manual
Vents and returns that may be blocked
When to call a professional
If the issue continues, or you notice ice, leaks or unusual sounds, turn the system off if safe to do so and arrange an assessment. Avoid electrical or refrigerant work.
