Yes the interior blower is blowing slower than normal, and the outdoor unit is working and has been running so long that the line has ice built up on it.
It's extremely likely that this is due to low refrigerant. This causes the overall temperatures in the system to drop leading to ice buildup. The evaporator in the interior unit is probably also a solid block of ice - which is reducing the air flow and making it appear that the fan is running slower.
Sometimes this can be caused by an extremely dirty air filter that reduces air flow causing the condensate to become extra cold and start to freeze which lowers the refrigerant temperature (no air flow) leading to freezing line sets. You can check this by turning off the AC for an extended period (24 hours or so) but I would leave the fan "on" to keep air moving on your block of ice to help promote thawing. Check your air filter and try it again once thawed. If you see ice buildup and similar symptoms again, you need to have someone check for leaks, fix, and recharge the system.
When the evaporator ices up, there is a significant risk of it causing leaks. when water freezes, it expands. As it freezes in the evaporator, it can push tunes arund, cracking brazed joints and creating leaks.
Agreed.This is funny. I get a lot of side buisness when large companys try and pull this ****. They always try and sell the customer a new indoor coil because "it will burst when it thaws out) B.S.
Yes they do, and I have seen my fair share of them that have welded themselves closed.Do they still have mechanical contacts in outside units?
