Well, I have to replace the blower motor. It froze up and died a squealing death. The bearing "fix" did not take. Right now, I have a box fan on it and that keeps the evaporator coil from frosting up.
But it is sucking water out of the shop like crazy.
Question for the group. Now thinking of replacing the reciprocating compressor with a scroll type. The EER of this unit isn't great (12 or so). Am thinking of getting a better coil in coil heat exchanger also. Saw a few of those in the wasp den . . . .
