General guidance to share when you call — not a diagnosis.
| What you're seeing | Likely causes a technician checks |
|---|---|
| Blows air but not cool | Dry or clogged pads, failed pump, low water |
| Water leaking | Stuck float valve, cracked pan, overflow |
| No water in the pan | Float valve, supply line, or clog |
| Musty smell | Old pads or mineral buildup — needs cleaning |
| Motor runs, no airflow | Slipped or broken belt, bad bearings |
| Won't turn on | Switch, motor, wiring, or pump |
