A/C Condensor and Blower working but blowing hot air, need help
Hello,
A/C Condensor and Blower working but blowing hot air and not cold, need help. I have kept the filter changed regularly. Checked the inside freon line and it was neither hot nor cold. The blower is indoors and the condensing unit/compressor is outdoors. I checked the coils and they are 90% clean. It's a Carrier model 40AQ036300BB / HEATRIX model HXOB. I believe this is considered a heat pump system. We have a couple of small children and live in Florida, if you can expedite the response, I would surely appreciate it. What kind of diagnostics can I go through to find the problem?
Thanks,
Zekejr

sounds like
you are saying you have a split system, both components running, but no cool. can you determine if the compressor is running? 3 ton carrier, how old? do you have a meter?

Not sure how to tell if compressor is running. Yes I have a meter but not real sure how to use it in this scenario! It's about 16 years old. I replaced the compressor about 7 years ago. What can I meter? How can I tell if the compressor is out?
Also remembered I have freon gauges I bought for my car years ago, don't know if they are universal for house split systems.
