Symptom
Outdoor unit runs continuously and cannot reach set temperature on hot days
Capacity Loss / System Undersizing or Performance Degradation
Symptom
Outdoor unit runs, but indoor blower does not start; weak or no airflow from registers.
Indoor Blower Motor Failure
Symptom
Outdoor unit vibrates excessively and is very noisy at startup
Compressor Mounting or Internal Mechanical Issue
Symptom
