Howdy folks - I've been lurking for awhile but just joined. I can make most repairs and figure a lot of stuff out, but I'm stuck on this one. Any help, advice, or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a Carrier furnace in the attic - attached is an AC evaporator and a fan I think. The condenser unit outside is a Lennox. Symptoms: condenser fan is turning but not discharging warm air out of the top of the unit, freon line in the attic is hot (not sweating), condensation pan is dry. I took the condenser apart as well as I could and didn't see any "burned" wires anywhere. I couldn't reach the compressor to see if it was hot - but system has been off for a day anyway - I figured out Friday afternoon it was not cooling and turned it off. I've turned it back on but still not cooling. Before I call a pro, I have two guesses: Compresser bad and needs to be replaced or, the evaporator coil has a leak and all the freon is gone. Any suggestions, ideas as to what I might look at, advice? I'd like to avoid spending a lot of money - I'm already so broke I can't pay attention. Thank you - this is a great forum!
