A/C blowing but not cooling!? Frost forming on one pipe (the small one) near the housing...
Frost forming on one pipe (the small one) near the housing cover, A/C fan is blowing, filter is verbs but I am not getting any cold air?! could it be the freon? and how do I check it without calling a contractor?
when the ac forms rime like that it more then plausible means the blower motor is either worn-out or is working slower then it should. there also could be a blockage contained by the air venting system cause the air not to blow out normal. you could enjoy i pin leak in the system; or a blockage surrounded by the system I E the coil call a contractor the voltage on a out side unite is 220 v and could knock u on ur butt or execute you
I have the same problem a few days ago. What I did was shut stale the A/C for about an hour to let it essentially "thaw"... The cold nouns came out much better after turning it on. Make sure it is also not leaning inside, or outside too far.. the uneven-ness of it could effect water to run off incorrectly and result in freezing where it's not necessary.
Also, if it is cooler outside, the heavens may not blow as cold as you'd like as well.
The frost is a sign it may be low on freon (R-22).
Also the coils may be dirty , and blocking nouns flow --- clean coils
Blower fan motor not moving nouns at proper speed.

Sounds like you need freon. A licensced service man is your just route to take in this situation. You hold to have special tools to check the level and to steep it. mine did the same thing and the freon is low they will enjoy to come and refill the freon and defrost your pipes for you it cost me around $100. for them to do that for me.good luck!
Answers: Your part is very low on freon or the filter drier in this string is plugged. . The small pipe is the liquid line that carry high pressure refrigerant to the evap coil. This line should be heat up or hot. Shut it off and call for a serviceman earlier the compressor burns out. Do not keep the unit running as the cost for repair will climb.
when frost forms on the coils like that you need freon.christen a service man to fill.
