What to do if my Carrier 40DMC024 Air Conditioner compressor and fan of the outdoor unit will not start?
- S
  Samuel TurnerAug 12, 2025
  If the compressor and fan of the outdoor unit won't start, begin by checking the mains power connections and ensuring the unit is switched to the ON position. If that doesn't work, wait for 3 minutes to see if the compressor cycling protection is active. Check and eliminate the cause (refer to “Additional installation instructions”). Also, examine the electrical connections for looseness or errors and repair them if necessary.

Why does my Carrier 40DMC024 Air Conditioner compressor run continuously?

  Linda WyattAug 16, 2025
  If the compressor runs continuously, check the temperature selection. A low refrigerant charge could also be the cause, so verify and add refrigerant if needed. Additionally, air or other non-condensable gases in the circuit might be the issue, requiring you to drain the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge the system. Finally, check for any obstructions and clean the filter.

  If the discharge pressure is too high, start by cleaning the outdoor coil or removing any obstructions. If the refrigerant charge is too high, drain some refrigerant. Also, if there is air or other non-condensable gases in the circuit, drain the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge the system. Check the head pressure controller by connecting the fan directly and replace the HPC if necessary.

What to do if my Carrier Air Conditioner compressor starts, but stops due to its overtemperature protection?
- M
  Maria GrahamAug 31, 2025
  If the compressor starts but stops due to overtemperature protection, it could be due to a wrong refrigerant charge (excessive or low) or air/non-condensable gases in the circuit; in this case, drain refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge. Remove any obstructions. Check cause and repair. Check and replace. Check and remove obstructions.

  Rachel NelsonSep 3, 2025
  If the discharge pressure is too low, it could be due to a low refrigerant charge, in which case you should add refrigerant. Another cause could be a dirty or obstructed outdoor coil, so clean or remove any obstructions. Also, a dirty indoor unit air filter can cause this issue, so clean the filter.
