Garrison Central air conditioner not cooling properly

If your Garrison central air conditioner is not cooling properly, the main control board is a possible cause when the condensing unit contactor does not receive 24 volts or the furnace blower motor is not getting power, although this is uncommon. More often, an airflow problem causes central air not cooling: a clogged air filter or blower wheel can restrict airflow, freeze the evaporator coil, and leave the air conditioner not blowing cold air. A defective contactor can prevent the condensing unit from receiving power, while a failed dual run capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, overheated, or unable to run. If the blower, condenser fan, compressor, and coils operate correctly but the AC unit is still not cooling, a refrigerant leak or restriction in the sealed system may be responsible. A faulty relay board can also keep the blower motor from receiving power. Check the filter and registers first, then use your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Garrison central air conditioner. Contactor, capacitor, control board, and relay board repairs involve hazardous 240V electricity and may require a qualified technician. Any refrigerant or sealed-system repair requires EPA 608 certification and a licensed HVAC technician.

01 - Garrison Central Air Conditioner Main Control Board

If the central air condensing unit contactor is not receiving 24 volts or power is not getting to the furnace blower motor, a possible cause is a defective furnace main control board. While this is not a common problem, if all other potentially faulty components are working properly, the main control board should be replaced.

02 - Air Flow Problem

Proper air flow is critical for the central air conditioner to work properly. The evaporator needs proper air flow to keep the condensing water from freezing. If the air filter or blower wheel gets clogged, ice can start forming on the evaporator coils, eventually freezing them up and preventing proper air flow. It is recommended to replace the air filter at least every 6 months or sooner depending on the conditions. Refer to owner's manual for guidance. Avoid covering registers with furniture, rugs, or other items that will restrict the air flow.

03 - Garrison Central Air Conditioner Contactor

The furnace control board sends a low voltage signal to the contactor. When the contactor receives the signal from the control board, it closes the circuit, sending voltage to the condensing unit components. If the contactor is defective, it will not provide voltage to the condensing unit. To determine if the contactor is at fault, use a multimeter to test the contactor for continuity. If the contactor does not have continuity, replace it.

04 - Garrison Central Air Conditioner Dual Run Capacitor

If the dual run capacitor is defective, the fan motor might be noisy, overheat, or not run at all. To determine if the dual run capacitor has failed, inspect the capacitor. If the dual run capacitor is bulging or leaking, replace it.

Highly Likely

05 - Sealed System Problem

If the unit has good air flow, the evaporator and condensing unit coils are clean, the fan and compressor are running, and the furnace blower is on, but there is still not enough cooling, it is likely there is a leak or restriction in the sealed system. Since diagnosing and repairing a sealed system takes specialized tools and knowledge, a qualified service technician should diagnosis and repair the unit.
Highly Likely

06 - Garrison Central Air Conditioner Relay Board

A relay board is often used to control components of an a central air condidtioner. If the blower motor is not receiving power, the relay board is likely the cause. A defective relay board will need to be replaced.
