Firstly, ensure the AC unit is set to 'cool.' Sometimes accidental changes to the thermostat could inadvertently switch it off.

Next, a clogged r filter might restrict rflow and trigger a shutdown. Refer to your user manual for mntenance intervals usually 1-3 months and replace your filter accordingly.

Clean and unblock supply and return vents; this protects your unit while ensuring proper rflow.

An unexpected AC shutdown could result from an electrical issue - check if the circuit breaker has tripped in your fuse box!

Leaks or gaps in ductwork can waste energy. Inspect attics and crawlspaces for potential leaks.

In the small grey box outside the AC disconnect box, verify that the switch is 'on'. If it's flipped to 'off', reset it, but exercise caution due to potential voltage hazards!

Harmful debris like leaves or grass clippings around your outdoor unit can cause disruptions. Keep the area clear for optimal performance.

So next time your r conditioner stops working, don't panic! One of these steps may be all you need to get your system back up and running quickly.
