Blower on Carrier A/C suddenly slower?

[jvestal]

Newbie here.......great forum!

I have a 10-11 yr-old Carrier 58PAV upflow unit that has always had trouble keeping the house cool when we have HOT weather like this, but suddenly it seems that the blower speed has dropped drastically.

What could cause this? Bad relay?

Thanks!!

Dirty filter ,components,etc.,is the most common cause,have you had it serviced and cleaned lately?

Bad run capacitor

Call a pro. You can blow up your compressor running it in this condition.

.....and slower blower create a frost-up on the coils and sweating on the insulation on the vac line? That's what I'm seeing now. I shut it down last night, but there was still ice on the coils this morning.

Thanks!!!
