Longevity Of Roof Air Conditioners
#16

Thanks for many good suggestions. I am a total doofus when I am looking at the AC, I have no idea what most of the parts are or what to pull out. (The only thing I know how to “fix” are the start and run caps, which in this case look okay to me.)

I know my filter is clean, and I’m getting good cooling for the first few hours of runtime whenever the unit has not been on recently. (I don’t know if that eliminates the low refrigerant possibility?)

I do think there might be something with the drain. The configuration on each of my roof airs differs slightly, and I noticed water pooled inside the unit, at the bottom where it is mounted to the roof, when I opened it up. I also see a small pump and a clear hose with some air/water moving through it when I opened it. I’m not sure what it’s “supposed” to look like, so it was not something I spent much time studying before, but now you’ve got me wondering if that was installed wrong. Maybe I can find a video or diagram of what it should look like and explore that avenue.

I definitely can’t rule out the blower motor. I probed it in circuit and saw a fairly low current draw compared to what the sticker says, at least at the end when not much was blowing.
