Here is a list of things I always check before starting the repairing of my AC. 

Voltas Air Conditioner Repair Checklist and Tips

• The first step is always to check if the AC is plugged in or not. 

• Then I turn off the AC and check the Thermostat. I check the wiring supply and replace the batteries, ensuring that there is a power supply to the thermostat. 

• The next thing that I check is whether the thermostat is clean and faulty or not. 

• Following this, I check for circuit breakers and fuses. The AC won't work if any of them are not in place or are not functioning properly. 

• The thermostat setting may change, so it's better to check if it’s set to cooling or not. 

• Now, check the fan blower belt to understand if it's slacking, damaged, or broken or not. 

• Finally, I check if there is any dust or debris inside the  AC or not. 

If there are any issues, I take the necessary action as mentioned by Meenakshi above to repair the AC. I hope you will also follow these steps for AC repair Voltas.

What is Voltas Split AC Repair Process?

I had opted for NoBroker’s Voltas AC repair service as per one of my friend's recommendations and watched their expert repair our AC. Here are the steps he followed:

• He started by ensuring that the AC is plugged into a functional power outlet and that there are no tripped circuit breakers. 

• He then checked if the remote control had working batteries

• Dirty or clogged filters can affect the AC's efficiency, so he turned off the unit, located the filters, and cleaned the parts. This significantly improved the cooling performance.

• He further checked if the thermostat was set to the desired temperature. If the AC is not cooling as expected, the thermostat might need calibration or replacement, but in our case, this was not the issue. 

• Outdoor condenser coils can accumulate dirt and debris, hindering heat exchange so to avoid that, he removed the visible debris and gently cleaned the coils using a soft brush.

• Low refrigerant levels 

• Damaged or bent fan blades 

• Water leakage around the AC unit

• Issue with the compressor

So these are some reasons why an AC fails to work properly. You can try solving it yourself or seek an expert’s aid if you feel so.
