Why is my Carrier Air Conditioner compressor operating continuously?
- DDanielle HansonAug 15, 2025
Your Carrier Air Conditioner's compressor might run continuously due to several reasons. It could be a dirty air filter, which requires replacement. The unit might be undersized for the load, suggesting you decrease the load or increase the unit size. Check if the thermostat temperature is set too low and reset it if necessary. A low refrigerant charge could also cause this issue; in that case, locate the leak, repair it, and recharge the system. Another cause might be air in the system, requiring refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and recharge. Finally, the outdoor coil might be dirty or restricted, so clean the coil or remove any restrictions.
