Looks like a generic kit mounting bracket

was this a freak ice storm or what.

obviously SOME man-made products can take far more crap than they were initially designed to.... other than increadibly dirty filters... what else did you find? don't keep us in the same suspense as that blower wheel, Jer.

the other service tech was freon fred. he love to add freon and go. he said it was a dirty filter,but it wasn't. he been adding freon to this unit for the last three. The fan relay was bad and low on freon. the core valves were bad. that was the freon leak.

The last mess I saw like that was in a furnace in the basement at an unoccupied rental property. Real cold outside, water pipes upstairs froze and busted, water went down through the supply ducts through the a-coil and down through the furnace. Everything was a solid block of ice. Big icicles from the a-coil all the way down through the heat exchangers and into the blower.

nice snow cone maker

I would have shut it down and said see ya' in 2 days when the ice melts. Once people go with out cooling for a while they tend to not let it happen again. Or you can stay there and charge them a huge bill for making sno-cones and then they might pay some attention to there unit.

once you get that fan running, your good to go! see ya in a week!
