I have a friend on Facebook (I know her in real life) and her Carrier took a dump not too long ago. She lives about 100 miles away. She had a Carrier Tech2000 Silencer System, unsure if it's a heat pump or straight-cool (probably straight-cool since it gets very cool in K.C. and the climate here in MO isn't right for a heat pump.)
She had it replaced with a Payne, who's made by Carrier.
But now, she has a problem with it.
Her unit's line sets froze up. We've got a break from the warm weather (but it's still dry and humid, very little rain fall) but it's about tomorrow/the next day after tomorrow that it'll start warming back up.
Since I haven't got to see her unit, IDK what Model or Serial No's are. All I know is it's a recently-installed Payne Air Conditioner. I'll have photos tomorrow at earliest.
She knew to contact me because she knew I knew a lot about HVAC and that I could answer her question. I said I'd post something on here just to make sure I had a more-professional answer. I'm thinking that the system wasn't charged properly.
She lives in Kansas City. I live about 100 miles away, making it difficult to find out info about the unit.
ice always starts at the air handler the works its way out on that insualted line into the condenser.if al is clean and the fins on the squirrel are clean ...go with a slow leak.if the old unit was tight the most likely place it could be is the LL/suction into the cond.LL dryer or within the new condenser..shradder caps and or pins.tell her to touch and look around out there for wet dirt oil residue spots like on a car engine seen.tell her to grab that LL line out on the condenser during a hot day it should be warm to hot if not the charge is going someplace
