If your AC stays on longer than it should, you may have a dirty filter. Clean or replace your filter to see if that remedies the situation.

AC Window Unit Won’t Kick On Similarly, with a window unit, you first should check the temperature setting on the unit and make sure that electrical current is flowing into the system.

AC Fan Not Working AC Fan Not Working Inside If your AC indoor fan isn’t working, first check to make sure a breaker hasn’t been tripped. If all is OK, check your air filter. If it’s blocked, then you may be able to fix it yourself. If there’s ice on the evaporator coil and refrigerant lines, allow the ice to melt, then check again to see if the fan is working. If it isn’t working, that might have caused your coil to freeze. A frozen coil requires a service call, because your technician may need to replace the contacts inside the fan relay, the fan belt, or the even the motor itself.

If you don’t, you risk burning out your compressor—a major repair. Outdoor fan motor stuck: Dirt or rust may have caused the fan to get stuck. If the unit requires more extensive repairs, you may need to repair or replace the outdoor fan motor. Mohammad Imran HVAC Engineer
