Craftsman air handler safety tips

• Conduct yearly maintenance. Have a HVAC service technician inspect, clean and perform required maintenance on your air handler annually. The service technician will examine the unit thoroughly for possible safety hazards such as worn components and shorts in the electrical system.
• Change the air filters regularly. The air filters remove contaminants from the air in your home. Use allergen air filters to remove dust and pollen that can cause breathing problems.
• Disconnect electrical power from the air handler anytime you perform maintenance or access internal wiring or components to complete repairs.
• Read and follow all operational and safety instructions in the owner's manual for your air handler.
• Have a service technician examine and repair the air handler whenever it fails and you're not able to fix the problem with simple troubleshooting steps described in the owner's manual.

Common parts that fail in Craftsman air handlers

• Blower fan motor. The blower fan motor spins the blower wheel to circulate air through the evaporator and into your home. You'll need to replace the blower fan motor if it's getting current but won't run.
• Evaporator coils. Evaporator coils are part of the heat exchange system. These coils remove heat from the air. If the coils are dirty or damaged, they'll need to be cleaned or replaced to work properly.
• Thermostat. The thermostat detects the temperature inside your home and turns the air handler and air conditioner or heater on and off to maintain the set temperature inside your home. You'll need to replace the thermostat if it isn't detecting temperature properly or it isn't turning on the air handler and air conditioner or heater.
• Air filter. The air filter removes fine particulates from the air to protect the internal components of the air handler and helps improve the air quality inside your home. If the filter is too dirty, then it may restrict air flow and will need to be replaced.
