evaporator
It is inside so it must be the evaporator. I can get access to it. I tried to get at it the other day with a vacuum but everything was gunked up and wet, probably from condensation so the vacuum was less than effective. Kazoo, do you know the name of the sealer? Is that something I can do myself and do you know ovf anywhere I can find instructions? It has stayed cool in my condo for the past few weeks so it must not be the fastest leak in the world.
As far as why it is gunked up, I think it is just that it is 20 years old and over the years something is bound to get by the filters no matter how good they claim to be. I'm quite sure it has never been cleaned.
The 3-4k quote was to put a whole new system in altogether.
I am fairly sure this was an existing problem the prior owner knew about. I hear you on the karma thing, but at the same time, when you buy a place with a 20 year old ac system you do expect problems. At least I did when I moved in. thats why I got a home warranty. The warranty won't cover the evaporator though because of the dirty clogging issue which they say has to have been preexisting because of the extent of the clogging.
