Is the blower motor running?
Is the evaporator coil clean?
Is the air filter clean?
Is the air filter a high MERV restrictive type?
Are the supply air vents obstructed or closed?

Shouldn’t run the unit in an extremely dusty environment. If the filter was very dirty the coil may be clogged as well.
