Is the blower fan in the ac unit kicking on?
How bout a few things to check?
1. First, take a look at the copper pipes coming from the indoor coil. This is the cooling coil. Feel the larger of the two copper pipes. The large pipe should be cool (around 50 degrees), but not freezing and absolutely no ice. If the larger pipe has any ice on it, the evaporator (cooling) coil is frozen and will have to be thawed before you do any more troubleshooting. Feel both pipes. The smaller (3/8") pipe should feel about body temperature. If it is very hot, it is an indication that your outdoor coil is dirty or the outdoor fan is not running properly. If both pipes are warm, check your outdoor unit to see if it is running.
2. IF the indoor coil is frozen, allow it to thaw thoroughly before troubleshooting. Here are some things to check. Check to make sure your filter is clean. check to make sure both the indoor and outdoor coils are clean. check to make sure both the indoor and outdoor fans are running. Check to make sure the compressor is running.
I have some more detailed troubleshooting tips on my website, but this should give you a good place to start. If you would like to take a look at some other more detailed troubleshooting tips, you can find them here http://airandenergysolutionsonline.com/diyjacksontn
Sure you do. Feezing is 32*, room temp is about 70* So 50* should be cool to the touch...like the man said.... I don't really know what 50 degrees feels like with my hands.
I took off some intake vents just under the unit.
I can see the filter from underneath. Am I supposed to get it from underneath or take off part of the front of the unit?
I have taken many screws off the front of the unit and don't see an easy way to get any panels off.
This is as far as i could get with just the picture you posted: http://www.rheem.com/productdocuments.aspx?quiet 80
Dig in, and you might find your unit.
