Yesterday was around 80 degrees so I cleaned the filters in our apartment air conditioners only to find out that the fan for the bedroom a/c wouldn’t turn on. Immediately I start imagining throwing out what looks like a perfectly good 2 year old machine out because the repair cost could be super high. I even know someone who fixes a/c’s but this is what I was imagining.
Computers and software at least I know where to start, but with appliances I’m mostly lost. So I did a quick Google search and saw some people suggesting that the fan might be stuck. I wasn’t sure if they were even talking about the same model, but I figured I didn’t have anything to lose. So I got something to poke at the fan blade and when I turned it on IT WORKED!
That was a relief, because during the process of examining the a/c I was picturing myself as the old dad who thinks he can fix stuff but ends up breaking it making it more expensive to fix when the pro comes over.
Haha you’re almost like my brother. He know’s how to fix a pc [most of the time] but completely unhandy when it comes to other stuff. There’s many times I have to fix something he thought he “fixed”.
