    Sweating in Florida

    Hey guy new member here, just have a few questions.

    My ac is not working.
    My ac is not blowing any air at all.
    The fan will not turn on.
    I have a intertherm model p3ra030k system as I live in a mobile home.
    I also have a freon leak, and I normaly have the unit recharged every 5 to 6 months. Right now that fan that moves the air into the house is not moving at all. No air coming out of the vents.
    Even when I trun the ac system off and just set the fan to on at the thermostat i get nothing.
    When I went to check on it I also noticed that my coils were frozen over. I know its been about 3 to 4 months since my last charge. Could the problem with the fan, which I am guessing is the blower be related to the lack of freon?
    I have noticed in the past when I needed it charged it would not blow as hard, but it would atleast blow, but the fan wont even come on at this point.
    I am quessing it is either the blower motor, or possible a problem with the electricy get there, either a bad relay, or board.

    Any suggestins please help.

    #1 Sounds like a power issue
    #2 Tell your AC guy to fix the leak permanantly and stop just recharging

    Return Air

    How can I check for return air?

    Yes I argee I need to have the freon leak fixed, but from what I have been told the leak may be in the condenser coils? I just dont have the money to replace that right now.

    The blower could be working, just can't blow through a thick slab of ice. Have the system repaired correctly. To keep operating the system under such adverse conditions is just destroying it.
    Training is important!
