HVAC not always cooling

7 years ago

I have a bit of experience in repairing/maintaining an HVAC unit, but I'm not sure about this one because it happens quite infrequently. About every few days or so the AC kicks on and it blows room temp air. I thought maybe the evap coil was freezing but when it happens it can be off for hours. Getting to the evap coil is a bit of a nightmare so I haven't checked it, but I didn't think it would be the issue, because when it's working as it should it blows wonderfully cold air. Anyone have an idea of what could be going on? Next time it happens I need to check the fan on the condenser, to make sure it's running...I suppose a fan not always kicking on would cause the air not to be cold. Do capacitors ever intermittently work or are they all or nothing?
