Fixora diagnostic
AC is running, but not cooling
Before we begin: is there smoke, a burning smell, or water near electrical equipment?
If yes, stop here and contact emergency or professional help.
Safe exterior check
Confirm the thermostat mode and temperature setting.
Next: airflow
Safe checks only. No panels, refrigerant, or live electrical work.
Real problems. Clear answers.
Fixora turns confusing HVAC symptoms into a focused next step—not a risky repair manual or a generic search result.
Follow the safe path
Practical help for the frustrating middle part.
Start with the visible symptom. Fixora asks focused questions, points to safe observations, and clearly marks the handoff to a professional.
02 · Check what is safe
Use clear external checks.
The path stays outside hazardous equipment and avoids electrical, combustion, refrigerant, and mechanical work.
03 · Know the next move
Get useful context for the service call.
When a professional is appropriate, you leave with a clearer description of the symptom and the safe checks already completed.
Safety first
A useful answer also knows when to stop.
Emergency signs are a hard stop.
Smoke, burning odors, gas odors, water near electricity, exposed wiring, and repeated breaker trips require immediate professional or emergency help—not more DIY steps.
Before you begin
Good questions. Safer answers.
