A couple weeks ago I went on vacation to my mother's winter house in
Naples, FL. *Their house has two A/C systems, one for the master
bedroom suite and one for the rest of the house. *The bedroom system
worked fine, but the main system didn't seem to be blowing air out. *I
found the air handlers in the garage attached to the ceiling. *The
condenser units were outside of the garage. *The main condenser had ice
built up on the insulated freon line. *I went inside and turned off the
system and let it defrost over the next few hours.

I called my mother and let her know what was happening. *She had me
call the HVAC contractor which had installed the system 8 years ago.
The technician showed up that evening and diagnosed it as a blown fan
motor. *Cost of repair $1200 for a universal motor. *Yes, it was out of
warranty. *This was a Trane system, although I don't know the model.

Considering the system is barely used 6 months out of the year, this
seems rather poor longevity for a blower motor. *It also seems rather
expensive.

Any thoughts?

yes and yes.
