Our ac unit hose keeps freezing solid and it doesn't cool good when it does. The repair guy said it was a relay and replaced it. That didn't work. Now he says it is probably the blower motor. Could this be right? It sounds like it is coming on when the unit kicks on but the hose still freezes solid. I need help before I pay him more money to not fix it. Ideas?

Sometimes when they are low on gas they will freeze up. I would consider having a different tech look at it.

That's what I was thinking but he says the charge is good on the high and low side. I am stumped. It froze up a couple of years ago inside the return and outside. It was very low on freon. My guy that I trust, filled it and checked for leaks. I wish he could come and look at it but is swamped right now.

Bow, i figure you or stik have tried this already but if not spray out the vents with a water hose. considering on how old it is they can get alot of dirt and debris in there over years time.

Mike is right on the money! If he just stuck gauges on it and said its good with out running a super heat then he is a idiot.
