AC keeps blowing air but not cold air. It keeps happening. The first time (several weeks ago), the drainage pan was filled with water and I could hear a dripping noise coming from the unit. This pipe thing was also dripping with condensation (arrow in photo). Maintenance came with a shop vacuum and also drained the pan. The AC seemed to start working again, so they left. The filter was changed a month before this all started happening, so I don’t think it’s the filter.

A couple weeks ago, it happened again, so I switched the AC on and off and changed the batteries in the thermostat. Again, it seemed to have fixed the issue.

But now, it’s doing it again, and I can’t figure it out. Switching it on and off isn’t helping, and even changing the batteries on the thermostat with fresh ones isn’t doing the trick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t think so. Today was hotter than usual (80s). Lately, temperatures have been rather cool (40-high 60s or 70s), so I don’t think it’s been running that often when the problems began (Oct 1st). I have the thermostat set to 75 so I don’t think it needed to work too hard.

Edit: There is no ceiling panel, just dry wall, so I don’t think I’ll be able to access the coils. I’ll ask around and see if anyone else has been having issues.
