Air Conditioner Repair

McQuay manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of McQuay appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.

McQuay Air conditioner not cooling 
If the air filter is clogged, air cannot flow properly through the air conditioner. This greatly reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. In addition, if the air filter is clogged, the evaporator coils will frost over. To remove debris from the air filter, try cleaning the filter. If it is not possible to clean the air filter, replace it. 

McQuay Air conditioner fan not working 
The dual shaft fan motor (or circulation fan motor) might be defective. The circulation fan motor has two fan blades: one on either side of the motor. On one side, the fan blade draws in outside air over the condensing coil to dissipate the heat. On the other side, the fan blade directs the air over the evaporator coil. The dual shaft fan motor has bearings that can loosen or bind over time. To determine if the motor bearings are defective, wiggle the motor shaft. If the motor shaft is loose, or if it won’t turn at all, replace the fan motor. 

McQuay Air conditioner compressor won't run 
The temperature control board provides voltage to the fan motor and compressor. If the control board is defective, it may stop providing voltage to the compressor. Control boards are often misdiagnosed. Before replacing the temperature control board, make sure you check more commonly defective parts—particularly the compressor overload, capacitor and the compressor itself. If you are certain that all of the other components are working properly, replace the temperature control board. 

McQuay Air conditioner won't turn off 
The condenser coils dissipate the heat as the refrigerant passes through the coils. If the condenser coils are dirty, they won’t be able to dissipate the heat as effectively. As debris builds up on the coils, the air conditioner will become less efficient, causing the air conditioner to work harder to cool down. If the coils are significantly dirty, the air conditioner will not be able to maintain the proper temperature, and the compressor will run continuously in an attempt to cool the room. Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty. If the condenser coils are dirty, clean them. 

McQuay Air conditioner is loud or noisy 
When the compressor is wearing out, it generates more noise than usual. When this happens, it is not necessary to replace the compressor—compressors often last for years after they become noisy. However, if you would prefer to have a new compressor, have a licensed professional replace it. 

McQuay Air conditioner remote control not working 
First, try replacing the batteries in the remote control. If installing fresh batteries doesn’t solve the problem and you can still operate the air conditioner manually, the remote control might be defective. If you think the remote control is defective, replace it.


Furnace Repair

McQuay manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of McQuay appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.

Entire unit seems to be off. 
Burner power comes from the main control panel which has a main disconnect switch, a stepdown transformer with primary winding fuses, a 120V secondary winding fuse, and an on-off service switch. If any of these were open, the burner as well as the supply fan would be inoperative. The control system also has firestat type temperature sensors which will shut down the entire unit if supply or return air temperatures exceed set points. On some control systems, the firestats only lock out the supply and return fans. Check main control schematic, as these would not be burner problems. 

Supply fan will operate.  
a. Check the manual reset limit control located between the filters and the supply fan and reset if required. 
b. Check that the control system has energized relay R20 located in the main control panel. 

Resetting flame safeguard does not start motor after the 10 second “Initiate” period is completed. 
a. The LED code may diagnose the problem. 
b. Push the reset button on the burner motor. (Note: If motor is hot and probably tripped, it has to cool sufficiently before it can be reset.) 
c. Remove the left side electrical access cover on the flame safeguard sub-base and test for line voltage at terminal 4 and L2. If powered, the problem is with the burner motor or its associated controls. On Models 1100-2000, terminal 4 only controls a contactor and burner motor power comes from its own circuit breaker. If terminal 4 is dead, check for power to terminals 6 and L2. 
d. IF VOLTAGE IS ZERO: The power is being interrupted by the limit control, the manual reset high or auto reset low gas pressure switches (if included), the low fire end switch on the modulating operator (if included), or relay contact in the main control system. Consult the schematic and determine the interruption. 
e. If voltage is satisfactory at terminals 6 and L2 and terminal 4 does not become energized after 10 seconds, and pressing the safety reset button has no effect, replace the RM7897A. 

Burner motor runs continuously, but burner does not start (pilot LED) does not come on after 30 (60 or 90) seconds. 
a. The LED code may diagnose the problem. 
b. The air switch sensing tube is not in the blower housing and sensing pressure. 
c. The air switch or its wiring is defective. 120 volts should appear between terminals 7 and L2 if airflow switch contacts are made. 

Burner motor starts when the reset button on RM7897A is pressed. The motor runs for 40 (70, 100) seconds and then the burner shuts down and requires manual resetting. 
a. Check Table 6. The LED code may diagnose the problem. 
b. If the PILOT LED did not come on for the 10 seconds before shutdown check for voltage between terminal 10 and L2 during the final 10 seconds before control locks out. If zero voltage, replace the RM7897A. 
c. If the PILOT LED did come on for 10 seconds before shutdown the pilot flame is not igniting or is not being detected by the flame safeguard. Check that the manual gas valves are open. 
d. Check the flame safeguard with a flame simulator. 
1. Close the main gas test cock. 
2. Plug the flame simulator into the flame safeguard. 
3. When the pilot indicator light comes on, touch the simulator G post to ground. If the FLAME LED now comes on the flame safeguard is working, but it is not receiving an adequate flame signal. If the FLAME LED did not come on replace the R7847A amplifier or/and the RM7897A. 

During the 10 second period before shutdown there is: 
a. The LED code may diagnose the problem. 
b. Close the main gas cock (pilot gas cock open) and observe the pilot through the inspection window as it goes through a sequence. 

No spark or flame. 
a. Close the main gas cock (pilot gas cock open) and observe the pilot through the inspection window as it goes through a sequence. 
b. Remove the burner gun assembly and check for shorted ignition electrode, open ignition lead, defective ignition transformer, or loose terminal screw on flame safeguard subbase. Check for voltage between terminal 10 and L2 during the final 10 seconds before the control locks out. If zero voltage, replace the RM7897A. 

Spark but no flame. 
a. Close the main gas cock (pilot gas cock open) and observe the pilot through the inspection window as it goes through a sequence. 
b. Improper pilot and gas adjustments. Connect a manometer to the pilot test tee and adjust. If the specified settings cannot be attained, a problem is indicated. 

Improper pilot air readings. 
a. The pilot air pickup tube is not inserted into the blower housing, is broken, cracked, kinked, or improperly positioned. 
b. Plugged air tube. 
c. Tubing to the pilot burner is not connected, is loose or cracked. 
d. Plugged pilot gas orifice. 

Proper pilot air and gas readings, spark but no pilot flame. 
a. Porcelain sleeve around ignition electrode is not adequately reducing airflow through this opening.  
b. Air in gas lines as a result of inadequate bleeding or recent service work or construction. 
c. Readjustment of pilot air and gas is required.

I have had a Daikin furnace for four years now. I’ve always taken care of the furnace by having it checked and maintained annually. I also replace the filters after every eight weeks. The furnace has never failed and is always reliable even at the worst weather. My current technician tells me that the installers did a good job. The noise level is barely noticeable. I would recommend the Daikins Furnace to everyone.

I am very impressed by its amazing quiet, great looking and easy installation. I have been looking for a window air conditioner for my medium sized studio for a while and I am glad I brought this one right before the summer comes and had it works out perfectly. My husband installed it by following the instructions, it’s simple and quick. Since it’s very hot yesterday, already above 90F, I turned it on. It cools down quickly, and for most important think, it is very quiet even though it’s getting up to speed which is out of my expectation.

The Daikin furnace that I replaced had served our family efficiently for twenty five years until it broke down three years ago. I immediately replaced it with a newer model of Daikin. As always, it has low maintenance needs; all that is required is for me to change the filters at least three times a year. I have never had to repair the Daikin, but it still runs smoothly. If I were to make a furnace purchase again, I would still purchase this unit.

While Daikin's air conditioners are one of the most cost effective units in the market; in terms of running, they aren't the best choice for everyone. This is because of several factors, such as short warranty periods (unless registered), loud operation, and poor heating capabilities.

We bought this unit for our large bed room. The unit surprisingly works pretty well and cover all area. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to cold down the room. It also comes with the remote control which is one of the reason we choose this unit. This unit is so quite and much better than the one we had 2 years ago which is in another bed room. I would recommend it to anyone.

I recently purchased the Daikin Furnace and fell in love with it. It has cost me nothing more than the eighty dollars I pay for the annual checkup. It has cut my gas bills by over 50%. I don’t even turn off the furnace during winter. I know that the furnace is great and I guess that the problems people are experiencing are due to poor maintenance. I would recommend Daikin to everyone out there.

Listen, when it comes to installing almost anything I am on the phone with my buddy, buying him a six pack and a pizza to do almost everything in my house. This thing installed so easily I could do it, which is saying something. Check one. Two, I have central air, but like most central air the upstairs suffers. I need it Arctic cold when I sleep and with my bedroom being of average size this cooled the room down in less than 10 minutes. Check two. Pretty quiet as I am a light sleeper and the noise is minable. Check three. Price You are not gonna find an AC unit sub 300 that runs any better. Check four. The only box that is missing is durability. If it fails during this summer I will update the post.

My husband and I moved into our new home 2 years ago, but as soon as we settled, the furnace broke. We called a technician who advised that we should purchase a new furnace since the old one would continue giving us problems. He suggested that we go for Daikin and it has been a perfect choice. Sometimes, the warmth in the house is the only indication that it’s on. It keeps our home cozy and warm in just a short time even in the cold Wisconsin winters. We have not had any problems with the Daikin furnace so far. I would gladly buy it over and over again.
