Moving the Air Conditioner on Shabbat
Question
Is it permissible to move the blade of the air conditioner (not the internal vent) on Shabbat, because it is heard that the fan of the air conditioner becomes quieter for a few seconds?
Answer
According to my research, moving it does not affect the electrical system. It is possible that the change in sound is due to the external movement, which sometimes causes the air conditioner to 'vibrate' less, but the operation does not stop.
