HVAC Evaporator Refrigerant Line Froze, Air Not cold
The system is running but the air is not cold (it is barely cool) and the system can not get the temperature below 80 degrees. Air filter is new and just did a cleanup on the drain line. The system is 20 years old, could it be low on refrigerant and needs recharging or is it something else? See photo below. Thanks
With the little bit of spotty frost/icing there.... you are low on charge.
Looking at the corrosion there on the evaporator coil.... that's probably where the leak is.
Don't let the tech just recharge and run.
Have him check for leak.
Hi all, I have this RHEEM RAMC-036JAZ AC unit, the heater part of the system works flawlessly. But on AC side about one out of 5 times it is started it starts up, fan starts spinning then within a minute it stops and the little red button has to be pressed on the unit to start it back up. Once its started back up, even though it goes through cycles (AC off/on etc), it never fails again, until the unit has been off for a while (1+ days).
Filters are cleaned every 3 to 6 months. The radiator box around the fan is clean (I hose it down a few times a year to get dirt out).
Its been like that for at least 7 years. We've sort of learned to deal with it. Always check to make sure its spinning after turning on AC. But id like to fix it if possible. Is there maybe a notorious issue that fits this description?
1) Only happens on startup after day+ off time (and doesnt happen every time, maybe 1 out of 5 times)
2) Once started, keeps working perfectly
3) Heater portion has no issues at all
Ive not had anyone look at the unit since its a minor inconvenience to go out there and press the button.Read More
Hello Everyone,
As I already mentioned in title, I have very old Maple Chase 0988 thermostat. I would like to replace it worh the new smart wifi thermostat. I am thinking of buying new Honey Well with nice touch screen price range around 200$, but I am not sure which one is compatible to be replaced?
Is there anyone here who could hep?
Thank you.
