Is the compressor running or just the Fan? sounds like your compressor is off on safety. Turn system off for 6 hours and try again.

The switch is on your thermostat - look for something that says "system" or "Em heat, heat, off, cool" switch it to "cool" and enjoy. If that doesn't work, call a HVAC service tech. You could have bigger problems than just the system switch. Good luck

Heat pump blows out cold air with heat on

If your heat pump is blowing out cold air while the heat is on, it could be caused by a few different issues. Some common causes include:
  1. Low refrigerant levels: If the refrigerant levels in your heat pump are low, it can cause the system to blow out cold air. This can be due to leaks in the system or other issues.
  2. Dirty air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the system, causing it to blow out cold air.
  3. Faulty thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can cause the heat pump to blow out cold air instead of heat.
  4. Faulty reversing valve: The reversing valve is responsible for switching the flow of refrigerant between heating and cooling mode, if this valve is faulty, the heat pump could blow out cold air when the heat is on.
  5. Defective fan motor: If the fan motor is not working properly, it may not be able to circulate warm air through the ducts.
It's best to consult a HVAC professional to diagnose and fix the issue. if i was able to help my cashapp $ralphpapi thank you have a blessing day

Split indoor unit fan doesnt blow air in the middle of the head

no maker or model of HVAC told ,so the question is near impossible.
on my HVAC all fans have start capacitors that love to fail every 10 years. Others last 3 years max in the outdoor pad.
the fan can fail for dead,good or weak for sure and can be intermittent even work on cooler days. possible.
there are 2 things here, fan and cooling and they are not the same.
the inside indoor fan fails. and does not blow?
try to be learn model HVAC it is, and what works and does not work
both, tell both. air and cooling,
the AC side will ICE up if the fan fails at the evaporator coil and the controller detects that and shuts the cooling down, as ICE can damage it.

why not call for service as 99.% do now. just call the service, person. hvac.

My nordyne E2EB-012HA wont blow cool air. Switched it to heat and it will blow out. Switch back to cool and it stops. Everything outside seems to be working fine. It just won't blow the cool air.

When you say everything is working fine outside is the compressor and condenser fan running?. When it is in the cooling mode is the indoor blower motor running?

Home aircondioner I don't know how how to Turn on

This ... along with your (few minutes ago entry) leads me to believe you are talking - PLAIN VANILLA Forced air... combination Heater/Air Conditioner.

You would not believe the various permutations and commutations...

At your compressor (outside) make sure it is free of all leaves, snow covers and is free to blow air through its coils.

~~

So in order to get you started I am going to assume you are at your
THERMOSTAT... inside your house (not talking automotive)...

90% of the worlds combination THERMOSTATS have a selector switch which can be as simple as "COOL" - "OFF" - "HEAT"...
on their bottom panel.

All the rest MAY add to these with other options like
"FAN" - "Emerg"... but you do NOT care because you want
"COOL".

You will also note that there is an indication of your present ambient temperature... and typically an indication of your DESIRED temperature... To work...

Your desired "COOL" temperature MUST be below your
current (ambient) temperature...

Before starting it is always a good idea to check all your outside equipment...

Good luck... with turning that AIR on.

HEIL HVAC, fan blows but no heat or AC

Your airconditioning system may be out of cooling gas, and if it has sufficient gas, the compressor might not pick when you put on the AC, and if the compressor did not pick ie start, you cant experience cooling effect, the fan will only be blowing.

Heat Pump - blows heat to set temp, then off, then kicks on to blow cold

Heat pumps defrost which is the AC mode, if the heat strip isnt working during a defrost, the air will be cold, A heat pump only feels warm if the heat strips are on too! the refrigeration cycles heat output is much less sensible to our 98F skin. heat pumps that satisfy a room setpoint are working at least, all heat pumps feel drafty to most.

MSZ-A26YV only blows air now, (no heating or cooling), no error indication. Worked all fine one day then few days later stopped. Emergency switch does the same. Looks like the external unit fails to pump...

try to check your compressor if working if not check electrical parts like capacitor. overload if defect replace. also try if compressor working observe the condensing unit fan blowing hot air if not theres possibilities of leakage of refrigerant gas need for braze leak then recharge refigerant gas. or possible compressor loose compression need for replacement.

New rth2310 themostat does not blow cool air

I don't believe you're going to get the new one to work -- sounds like it doesn't have enough control wires to operate your HVAC system. If it is designed to operate a 7-wire system, the documentation should show how to hook the 4-wire tstat so it will work.
