Routine upkeep
- Check and replace indoor air filter
This outdoor condenser works as a team with your indoor air handler. A clogged indoor filter restricts airflow across the whole system, which can cause the outdoor unit to overheat or freeze up. Check it every 90 days and swap it when it looks grey and packed — it's the single easiest thing you can do to protect a newer system.
Fixology helps you understand your home — it isn't a substitute for a licensed pro on serious gas, electrical, or structural work.
Common fixes
- FurnaceFall
The furnace runs but the house stays cold, which is usually a clogged filter, a thermostat setting, or an ignition fault.
- Heat pumpFall
The heat pump runs but the house stays cold, which is usually thermostat settings, a clogged filter, or an iced-over outdoor unit.
- Washer
Water is left in the drum after the cycle, which is usually a clogged pump filter or a kinked drain hose.
- Fridge
The fridge section is warm or warming. The cause depends on whether the freezer is still cold, and the first fix is often free.
- Washer
The drum fills and washes but won't spin, which is usually an unbalanced load, the lid switch, or a drain problem.
