I'm having an issue with my home AC system and need help from someone more knowledgeable on these systems.
It turns on and the fan blows fine. The condenser fan is running normal and the condenser is not frozen over. The condenser and plumbing to the condenser from the central unit is cold and wet so that all seems normal. The case of the central unit is cold to the touch and evaporator coils are cool (though not cold) and not frozen up. Yet, I'm getting room temp air from the vents. The thermostat read 70°F when I turned it on, set it to cool to 68°F, but the temp is now 73°F.
About a month ago, the thermostat showed an "E2" error code and wouldn't turn on. There was a 5 amp fuse in the central unit that was blown. I traced the wire going to it from the thermostat, found a short, patched it, replaced the fuse, and all was well afterward as far as that goes. I'm not sure if that would be related to the current issue, whether damage may have been done. I'm not sure.
Any ideas on what to look at or test next? We're leaving to go out of town on vacation this evening, my mother-in-law coming over to house/dog sit while we're gone, and no HVAC company can get to us today so I need to try to figure this out. Thanks.
