The evaporator coil is probably frozen too.The fan might of failed and it caused the evaporator coil to freeze along with the suction line. Based on what you said about hearing a noisy blower motor noise. I believe the blower motor failed and caused your problem.There's only a few things that cause freezing; 1. blocked or no airflow 2. low or loss of refrigerant. You have no airflow, most likely because of a defective blower motor.

SOURCE: Need a part number for fan motor on UAMB-036JAZ

Hi, what you need to do is gain access to the motor its self. If it is the condenser fan motor or the blower motor . This is a 3 ton unit from the numbers you have given me. There are two ways you can do this. On the data plate on this Ruud unit, normally they are paper with a plastic coating on Ruuds and Rheems, and it will tell you the H.P., size like 1/3, amperage, and the R.P.M.'s. Then get all of the model number and serial number from the unit. The best way is to get the information from the motor its self. It has the voltage, amperage, name of motor, example a G.E., the part number, Horse power (H.P.) r.p.m. such as 1725, 1100, and so on. Rotation, CW or CCW. The new motor will be reversable, just change 2- leads on it. This would be your best bet, to do it this way.
please don't forget to rate me and I know you will be kind. I cant give you the numbers as they will use different motors in the same unit, and different brand names.

New 14 seer split ruud heat pump makes very loud knocking noise

Well you may want to have a tech come out and check the freon level, but mostly when going into defrost, some units make alot of noise, the freon is reversed in the unit by way of the reversing valve, it makes a whooshing sound like freon is draining off, as far as the knocking noise, could be as I said in the beginning, might be low on freon, but it could be that, this particular unit does this, I have had units make some really strange noises in the past but functioned perfectly, hope this helped, please let us know, thanks again,
