Yes, I still need AC as this is Florida! Last year my compressor went out and replaced that. Idiot replaced it with a size too small and my system always seemed to be cycling on/off. Well now the whole system seems dead. Unlike last time where my evap fan worked and you could hear the compressor straining to start before popping the breaker. Now EVERYTHING is dead. No evap fan running, all breakers seem fine, no sound at all from the compressor area when I turn the system on. I did notice the outside of the evaporator inside the house seems really cold to the touch. Could it have frozen up? Maybe the evap fan went causing the freeze? Would that cause the entire system not to even try to start? Even putting the interior fan to "ON' instead of auto does nothing. Also noticed some ice buildup on the pipe connection right at the compressor outside.
I did just replace the air filters which were really dirty with some high efficiency ones (800 rating). Maybe these are too tight causing lower airflow and freezup? HELP!!! Hotter in the house right now than outside.
