Yes, we do get air volume inside but it's not cooled.
Yes, the compressor was running before changing the capacitors but it wasn't running very strong.
Yes, this is a ducted unit.
The lines are icing (not the evaporator).
OK, In 37 years I have never heard of or have seen a Compressor that was not "running very strong". HOW would you determine that??? Especially a novice. Not running strong can mean that you have lost your charge and the compressor is NOT having to pump the full system. Losing a charge will cause certain areas to freeze up, especially if you have a blocked area. That is why you NEED a amp draw of the compressor. Doug
