Re: Blower Coil Freeze After Compressor Replacement?

Whenever a compressor goes out, or any other part. It's nice to know WHY
the 
part went out. Was there something wrong, that caused the compressor to 
strain, and finally quit?

So, he splices in a new compressor. That allows the chance to find out
what 
was the original problem. Time to get the tech out a couple more times, to

find out what else is wrong.

Typically with a frozen coil, you replace the entire eva****ator coil. None

of this "replace one coil, and come back for the rest". Within a system,
the 
eva****ator is an entire unit. So, that sounds a bit suspicious.

 in-laws had an exterior AC compressor replaced (by an HD sub-
contractor FWIW...) which worked for a few days, and then ceased
working when a coil leak froze up at the blower (as diagnosed by the
same HD sub-contractor who they called back). He explained that the
problem at the blower was pre-existing, and had nothing to do with
his
original compressor replacement. He's attempting to locate a
replacement coil for the single defective coil, but estimated
replacing all coils which could be necessary if he can't find a
single
coil and could cost upwards of $2K. After they just spent $3k having
compressor replaced.

At the same time the new unit crapped out, they also developed a
thermostat problem at a second unit they have in their attic. That
problem has already been fixed by the same tech. Each unit is
controlled by its own thermostat, but I'm not sure if both systems
could somehow tie together....


I find the timing of both problems suspect (though not unlikely), and
am wondering if they are being sold a bill of goods. Feedback
appreciated!
