Why does my air conditioner plug gets hot?

Plugs often get hot and melt because a high resistance connection has developed, due to poor contact with the socket, blade corrosion, or just over time. That higher resistance, along with the high currents drawn by AC units, causes a heating effect, which exacerbates the problem and eventually melts the plug.

Why is my AC not blowing cold air?

The chemical Freon or simply you can call it coolant is the reason why the AC cools hot air quickly. The chemical can run out if there is any leakage in the AC. Thus, AC would not work, as there is no Freon in the system.

What should I do if my central AC is not working?

Have your owner’s manual handy to help the technician troubleshoot the problem. Your central air conditioner sends refreshing, cool air through ducts to reach every room of your house. These ducts pull warm air from the house and carry it to your AC unit for treatment and cooling.
