What Should You Do When Your Air Conditioner Won’t Shut Off?

Back To Blog

Is your air conditioner refusing to turn off, leaving you in a sticky situation? Don’t fret! Thomson Air Conditioning is here to help you troubleshoot the issue and get your cooling system back on track. As a trusted provider of AC repair services in Desert Hot Springs, CA, we have the expertise to guide you through this common problem. Read on to discover what steps you can take when your air conditioner doesn’t shut off.

1. Check The Thermostat Settings:

Start by examining your thermostat settings. Ensure that it’s set to “auto” mode instead of “on.” The “auto” mode allows the AC to cycle on and off as needed, while the “on” mode keeps the fan running continuously. Adjusting the thermostat to “auto” should resolve the issue if it was a simple misconfiguration.

2. Inspect The Fan Limit Switch:

If changing the thermostat setting doesn’t solve the problem, it’s time to inspect the fan limit switch. This switch, located inside the air handler, controls the fan operation. Faulty or misaligned settings in the switch can cause the fan to run continuously. We recommend reaching out to our professional technicians at Thomson Air Conditioning for assistance in diagnosing and fixing this issue.

3. Check The Condenser Unit:

The condenser unit, situated outside your home, plays a crucial role in cooling your living space. If the condenser is dirty or blocked by debris, it can lead to inadequate airflow and cause the AC to run non-stop. Clear any debris around the condenser and ensure it’s clean. If you’re unsure how to perform this task safely, our skilled technicians can handle it for you.

4. Examine The Blower Motor:

A malfunctioning blower motor can also be the culprit behind your AC’s constant operation. The blower motor circulates cool air throughout your home. If it’s not functioning correctly, the air conditioner may run continuously to compensate for the lack of airflow. Contact Thomson Air Conditioning for professional assistance in diagnosing and repairing any issues with the blower motor.

5. Schedule Professional AC Repair:

If none of the above steps resolves the problem, it’s time to call in the experts. Thomson Air Conditioning specializes in AC repair services in La Quinta, CA. Our trained technicians have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and fix complex issues with air conditioning systems. We will thoroughly inspect your AC unit, identify the underlying cause, and provide the necessary repairs to restore optimal performance.

It was time to service the fan blower unit and had a pleasant experience again working with Glenn and his trainee George. I appreciated the time Glenn took to ensure George's work met the expectations that Glenn would have performed the job to. It's not often companies have seasoned experienced employees that can share their knowledge and experience with new staff. I hope Thomson keeps Glenn around for many more years!

Over the years, we've used Thomson to do major HVAC construction, equipment replacement and service. They are always very thorough, knowledgeable, considerate and the prices are fair. They have a lot of experienced technicians on their team and communicating with the office is easy. We get our system serviced every 6 months (very important) and they actually offer a monthly payment plan for that. I didn't take off a star (because they do offer a fantastic service), but it is difficult if something breaks during the weekend. They won't respond until offices open on Monday. But they will get you in as soon as possible and the service is great.

Very honest company and great customer service. It’s been a long time since we had our AC unit inspected and after all these years it’s still good to go and ready for summer! Ethan did a great job answering all my questions. Quick, efficient and very knowledgeable. Thanks Thomson!

Ethan was great and was very helpful in helping me understand the unit. He came out the same day I called and had parts on his truck to make the repairs right then and there. Ethan was very friendly and I would recommend him and Thomson Air Conditioning to anyone in the future.
