If turning down the thermostat doesn't reduce the cooling (makes it warmer), the thermostat is probably faulty causing the motor to run too much.
I have a RLA 80. Some time ago my fridge wasn't getting cold enough so I ordered a replacement thermostat and almost as an afterthought I gave the temperature adjusting knob an experimental tap with a screwdriver handle (known to often temporarily restore operation to any device that switches mains current). The fridge began working for a while and needed another tap...
I must have given it the treatment half a dozen times and it suddenly began working normally. I have yet to replace the thermostat and the replacement is ready for when the time comes, as it has been ready for about 3 years.
Clothes not drying, but dryer runs & heats
1.defective operating thermostat---test thermostat, replace if defective
2.fan or it's pulley loose on shaft---tighten set screw
3.incorrect heat or timer settings---reset timer
4.clothes to wet when placed in dryer----wring out or extract water from clothes before placing in dryer
5.clogged lint screen or duct (little air motion)---clean out lint screen & duct
Ice forming on the suction side is normal and on really humid and hot days you will see it as the unit runs longer and the suction is very cold. I am not certain as to why the tech told you to use a sprinkler on the system unless he thought you had a Hi head pressure or he just wanted to calm your concerns regarding the icing as you say the fan came back on ????. .. now with all that said it appears something got wet and shorted out .. could be a number of things . the outdoor fan contactor, the tstate wiring, or the motor got wet and burned out... was the unit cooling well even with the ice? I think it should have .. let me know.
it is the thermostat . the problem occurs when installing the thermostat the small pipe must not bend more than 45degrees. the point of application on the evaparator plate that makes cold is it tight fitted there
