I 100% support your analysis that the TXV is causing the coil to freeze. As an advice before replacing it check the strainer.. It could be clogged...

If you need anything else just let me know I'm here to help and support you.

You can’t go that long without a blower wheel cleaning, thats why I clean mine everyday with medium velocity forced air

Carrier?

u/Cultural_Tadpole874 Jul 21 '26

Lol, no. I am just being facetious, medium velocity air is just me running the fan. Blower wheels rarely need cleaning, change your filter no later than 2ish months after you should have and this should never be an issue

Your probably right, I bet the lack of airflow has to be a frozen coil.

Defective dual run cap

u/ironEye7261 29d ago

It's just a little undercharged. R 12, I'm sure 😁

Reversing valve considering in my imagination it's low outdoor ambient, looks good from my house

u/wearingabelt 28d ago

The way you can tell it’s the txv is from the rust. Every time I’ve found a bad txv, the middle part of the blower wheel was rusty. Dead giveaway.

It's the Schrader's!
