Air Conditioner UhOh!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

The A/C is running constantly but the air that it is spitting out isn't cold!!

Open the cover for the filter ...
then *look* at the "coils" - they may look like a radiator ...

See if it's covered with ice or snow - which indicates it's "Frozen Up"!

IF you see ice or snow inside the enclosure, turn the unit's thermostat UP to HOT
and try to "defrost" it. You can hurry things up by using a Hair Dryer on the frozen parts.

HIGH Temps + High Humidity = **Frozen** ACs!

Try running it a little less cold - set it for a "warmer" temp -
and it will run longer between freeze-ups.

I'll have hubby get up and check the unit I usually have it set at 70 or 72 but I turned it down that low to try to coaxe some cold air out of it!! It's wierd.. It was working fine yesterday morning and I turned it up to about 76 since we were going out of town. We got back this evening and it was ridiculously hot!! Ugh I hope you are right and we can solve this!!

I can see mine ice up by the unit, I shut it off for an hour then turn it back on and its usually okay, this happens occasionally. We have three zones and sometimes all the zones don't work either, I think our damper door motors need to be changed.

I can't see anything but that doesnt mean it's not there. I am too exhausted from our trip to spend any more time awake so I am going to turn it off and hope that that is the problem and that it is all melted by morning
