Hello,
I turned on my AC for the fist time this year and it is not working.
Cold air is not coming out of the vents the vents themselves are just
slightly cooler then the rest of the house. Air is not being sucked
into the intakes inside the house.
The outside unit is running, the fan is spinning but if the air is not
going inside, where is it going?
Does this suggest problem anyone has encountered before?
Thanks


Yes....I have central air and if you start up your unit and drop the
thermostat drastically it puts the air conditioner into "overdrive" and
the
radiator that the air flows through basically plugs with frost....best
thing
you can do is shut off your AC unit and allow to thaw for 4-6 hrs and
then
fire back up but SLOWLY drop the temp over a 24 hr period... Jim


You have to be kidding, "if you lower the thermostat dramaticly it
puts it in overdrive" not so it just on or off. Freezing the coil,
[ its not a radiator] is one of several things, low freon or low air
flow. "4-6 hrs wait" no you dont even know what the issue is, just
look at the coil to SEE if its frozen, it could be many things. Learn
a bit about ACs

As tradesman...I used "overdrive " as a figure of speech....and also
coil, rad, potato tomato... Hadn't realized I was talking to an
idiot....sorry...will get the terminology right for those that have there
noses pressed to the owners manual... Jim- Hide quoted text -

You calling me an idiot? Look in the mirror. Ok mr know it all "Bozo
Jim AC Pro "Tradesman"", lets see if you can possibly expain just how
my single speed AC goes into overdive, You cant can you, because it
doesnt. This is "are you smarter than a 4th grader" stuff, or "
here`s your sign" or a " caveman can do it" are you really that dumb.
And Ive never read an AC manual, this is simple logic, Bozo Jim the
"tradesman".

I don't argue with idiots....they just bring you down to there level and
beat you with experience....so go just go away idiot... Jim
