OK, DWeb, I need your help. The air conditioning isn't working in my house and I have a wife that's 39 weeks pregnant. I have a call out for a repairman but there's a city-wide heat wave and it may be a few days before they can get here. Mama is unhappy and I'm wondering if this is something I can fix.
Here are the symptoms:
- outside compressor seems to be running, no problem there
- pipes from compressor to the blower feel cold
- blower fan (which is part of the furnace) is running
- the large ducting that comes out of the blower/furnace is shaking lightly, like it's blowing air through there
- no air comes out of the registers
It's almost like something like clogging up my ducts.
Right now I have the system shut down and the doors are open but our house is super-insulated and it tends to warm up every night as the daytime heat works its way through the walls.
Ideas?
