Keep your system up and running with these convenient tips that address common operational issues. If these simple steps do not solve your problem, please call your York® Dealer with your model number for service.
- Is your thermostat set in the "cool" position (or “warm” for winter heat pump operation)?
- If so, is your outdoor air conditioning or heat pump unit running?
- Did the circuit breakers in the circuit breaker box (or electrical panel) trip to the “OFF” position?
- Is the outdoor "disconnect switch" on your outdoor unit in the "ON" position? (The disconnect switch is usually a small metal grey box mounted on a wall near the outdoor unit.)
- Is the blower motor in your furnace or air handler running when your thermostat is activated? (Make sure the furnace switch is in the "ON" position.)
- Have you changed your filter? (A blocked filter can cause your unit to shut down due to lack of proper airflow.)
- Are the air registers (supply or return ducts) plugged?
