FAULTS, POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTIONS.
1 Out side unit fan not rotating.
Terminal wires. Check for burnt terminal wire and replace them.
The fan capacitor may be bad. Replace with equivalent size of the capacitor. Note: Every fan or compressor has a specified capacity of capacitor, which is measured in micro-farad (uf)
The fan may be bad. Replace with a good fan.
2 Compressor shutting down and coming on after a while.
Timer. The timer maybe on. Check the remote and adjust the settings.
The power supply maybe insufficient.
The compressor capacitor may be weak. Replace with another capacitor of same capacity.
The fins might be blocked with dirt and dust, thereby hindering proper condensation. Wash or blow the fins and ensure they are free from dirt.
If it’s just charged with refrigerant, the refrigerant might just be too much. Reduce the quantity of refrigerant in the unit.
3 Air-conditioner dropping water inside.
Check for blockage in the drain hose. Make sure it is through.
Ensure the drain hose isn’t inclined or twisted.


Note: Make sure the air-conditioning unit is switched off and unplugged before doing any service on it.
