Just got home - Lennox Elite 10 not cooling ---fans are working

seems to me by the frost that the inside fan is not blowing air across the cooling radiator (evaporator), due to ice build up impeding air flow or the fan motor stalls or not working a t all. Defrost timer should also be checked if the air flows thru inside the fridge.

sounds like installer broke on yellow wire between thermostat and condenser. your switch is breaking the 24 volt signal to cobdensor when the internal float is activated. moving the switch is somehow allowing bobber to drop enough to reactivate 24 volt and condenser comes back on. refrigerant starts to recirculate again and thats what your hearing in the lines. the switch prevents evap coil pan from spilling over into your return when the drain is clogged. use a shop vac and clear your drain. i blow it out with compressed nitrigen. after line is clear prime it wuth 32 oz of water.

Hello, this sounds like a bad capacitor or bad fan motor. Replace the capacitor, if replacimg the capacitor does not work you have a bad fan motor. Capacitor is usually about 10 bucks where a motor is about 200. So try repacing the cap first.

Is the indoor fan working? The problem with the outdoor fan sounds like it could be your capacitor. Turn off the power to the outdoor unit and make sure the fan turns freely using a screwdriver or something that will reach the blades. If it turns freely then it is probably the capacitor. Let me know what you find.

The unit could possibly have a frozen indoor coil. Turn ac to off...and fan switch to on...wait 45 minutes and see if air flow improves. Check for dirty filter which can lead to freeze up. Low on freon is also a possibility.

Expensive is relative, service calls are never free. But if you have an idea what the problem is, you are armed against an unethical service company. Now to what you describe, could be a couple things, first let me explain the difference in fan speeds. Furnaces that both heat and cool have multi-speed blower motors. High speed is for cooling and lower speeds are for heating. The fan switch at the T-Stat turns on the high speed fan relay. The lower speed fan is turned on by either a temperature activated switch (silver box mounted on front on furnace above burners) or a time delay relay which is solid state. That being said, your problem could be a defective fan switch or one of your blower motor windings has gone bad. Most motors have 3 or 4 speeds and a technician could just change speeds and all would be good. A fan/limit switch is not so expensive that you would replace the unit. Bottom line, unless your really handy, a heating company is in your future. Good luck and please rate my answer if it was helpful to you.  

Sounds like a restriction of air flow. Check you duct work and check for holes or lose duct.

your fan motor outside is going bad, have a service company change it out for you.

the motor stopped working and that overheated the compressor shutting it down on thermal cutout, and it will only come on once it cools down

need new ignition probe
