AC is on, fan is blowing, but air is warm or room temperature. This means the outdoor unit has stopped — here's every reason why.
Important difference: "AC not cooling enough" vs "AC blowing warm/room-temperature air." The second means outdoor unit has stopped completely. Indoor fan is just recirculating your room's warm air.
Remote check karo. COOL mode ❄️ dikhna chahiye — FAN mode 🌀 ya DRY mode 💧 nahi. FAN mode mein outdoor unit kabhi nahi chalta. Children often accidentally change the mode. Rule this out first — zero cost.
Bahar jaake outdoor unit check karo. Fan spin ho raha hai? Compressor ki deep hum aa rahi hai? Agar completely silent hai — outdoor unit ne kaam karna band kar diya hai.
Outdoor capacitor fails = compressor and outdoor fan both won't start = indoor fan blows warm room air. Most common at start of summer when marginal capacitors from last season give up. Same day fix.
Burned contactor means outdoor unit never receives power. Sign: faint clicking from outdoor unit every few minutes (thermostat sending start signal) but outdoor unit stays silent.
Power surge tripped the outdoor MCB. Indoor unit works on its own circuit, outdoor has no power. Check DB board for tripped MCB in middle position. Reset and test.
In Samastipur's 44°C summer, dirty condenser coil causes overheating. Thermal protection shuts compressor off — indoor fan keeps blowing warm air — unit restarts after 1 hour cool-down. Classic pattern: cools in morning, warm air in afternoon, cools in evening. Fix: condenser coil wash + ensure 50cm clearance around outdoor unit.
