Probably a rental….tenants don’t maintain anything and the landlords typically don’t care until they’re getting complaints that it’s not working…a tenant wouldn’t know what to do but to call the landlord…home owners…are either used to being able to call the dude who does that sort of thing…if it’s a single female obviously not all of them know or care what it takes to have ac…. As long as it’s working…this concept is also why I’m picky about the used vehicles I buy lol….hearing more and more men saying doesn’t it come with oil? lol…yeah…even the guys are like that nowadays

Was the filter in the wrong spot on this?would appear to me that this is a down flow unit. The solid door on bottom appears correct and the louver door above seem right as it would draw from there to pull over the coil and down through the fan into the supply duct. But the filter should be behind the door with louvers not behind a solid door that encloses the motor housing. 👍👍🇨🇦

Perhaps simply cleaning the blower assembly and pulling the coil to clean. Clean the outside coils as well and then give it another try. Wasn't that far off (SC). A good cleaning. Obviously the return air filter was all wrong. Also, give them a lesson on how to change filters and what size to get as well. Let it cool the rest of the summer. If it's failing towards fall, you gave it a college try before simply replacing the equipment which any one year wonder parts changer can do.

Don't the snakes add to the electrical charge of the capacitors, probably would have worked better if it was still alive instead of crispy, and painted evaporators are insulated better. Pretty sure that a lot of the renters are not aware to change filters regularly instead of removing them or just don't care because they are renting.
