On Sunday we noticed that our AC unit was not cooling our home. I cleaned the filter and flushed the drain line but our home still did not get cool. I then checked the air handler and found that the coils were frozen. I defrosted the coils and the house is still not getting cool. I notice your reply to Ty Moore above. I tried to looked up under the coil to see if there is a filter and can not find one. In my Air handler, my coils are in the shape of an "A". There is baffle on the front side that fill the space between each side of the A. On the outside of this area, are copper tubing that will not allow me to take the baffle off. Is it possible my filter is behind this baffle? Any suggestion on removing this baffle.

Our house is 85 degrees today, we had to turn the A/C on. In doing so, I check the Air handler to make sure the coils were not freezing. I noticed the coils and cooper tubing at the bottom portion of the A legs (each side) are cooling and the top portion are not. Also where the orifice connects to the cooper tubing, cooper tubing freezes or is very cool at this level. This part of the cooper tubing goes into the lower side of the "A" legs. My drip pan is directly below this. According to the manual, I have a horizontal unit. The fan motor to the "A". Hopefully this information helps.

Thanks for any information.
