If you have the not blowing forcefully enough problem and have pets, you'd be amazed at how much hair can actually accumulate around the evaporator coil.

Our unit is outside. I had to remove the cover on the side, get out the water hose, melt the ice and then discover the problem. The evaporator coil was clogged . I cleaned it up and it works like a champ.

I also did that on my husband's freightliner.

Be careful of the fins. They are sharp and easily damaged.

Also make sure the power is off to the unit.
