Mike I am looking for my digital temperure probe now and will try this. I will also look at the filter grate. Now if I could just find that dang probe! Thanks Bob
While your up there with the filter grate off, take a look at the freeze gaurd probe, and make sure that it is inserted into the evaporator coils, and has not fallen out. It is a long black plastic coated probe that slides into the coils. It might be inserted from the inside or outside of the coils. If it is on the outside, you have to remove the roof housing to see it. If your unit is cycling, then I would not expect freeze up as the issue. One easy way to check for freeze up, is for someone to stand outside, and watch for run-off after the unit cycles off. If it is freezing, a LARGE amount of water will run off the roof, instead of the normal dripping. The ice thaws very quickly, and a gush of water off the roof is the result!
