Central A/C Problem : Blower
Unit is approximately 15 years old. A year or so ago they installed a
pump to pump out the condensation. I noticed today that the house wasn't very cool so I checked the thermostadt and it's 79 even though it's set for 74. Then I notice the blowers aren't working. I check the unit in the basement and there is water dripping from the unit and the pump doesn't seem to be shooting out any water. I check and see the pilot light is out. I relight it, and a few minutes later the pump turns on and shoots out a load of water, but the blower still isn't working. It's a chicken and the egg type situation. Did another problem cause the pilot light to go out or did the pilot light go out for some fluky reason and it affected the operation of the pump? The pump is plugged into a regular outlet, so I assume lighting the pilot and the pump suddenly doing something is coincidence? Any guesses as to what is going on? When my elderly neighbor had a similar problem (the outside and inside unit ran but no air being blown), the technician tried to walk her through fixing it herself, so I assume there's something fairly simple I am missing? Thanks in advance. |
