What to do when the air conditioner motor overheats

Have you panicked when your air conditioner system suddenly stopped running? Did you find your outdoor system heated up after the unit stopped? Here are some facts about compressor overheating.

One important thing that needs to be considered is that the compressor motor of your central air conditioner may be overheating as a result of its location. Central air conditioning installation warrants the outdoor unit to be placed in an open area and people usually prefer their backyards as the ideal location. But if the location gets direct rays of the sun, the performance of the home air conditioning unit will definitely be affected.

Most systems tolerate the heat of the sun, but if your system is an old one, it is likely to get overheated in sunny conditions, leading to thermal overheating that eventually results in circuit trip-off. Check out the location of your unit compressor motor and if you feel the overheating is due to direct sunlight, you could install a shade for the unit.
