Probably the number one reason for service calls. Finding a system low on freon, and a leak search in a furnace of an attic.

Video Summary
AI GeneratedA technician investigates an R22 refrigeration system from 1997 that fails to turn off unless the thermostat is set to 85 degrees. Initial inspections suggest a severe refrigerant leak, evidenced by ice buildup and low freon levels. The technician conducts a leak search in a high-temperature attic, focusing on a newer Goodman air handler.
The complaint with this one was they got
to turn it up to 85 just to get it to turn off.
Judging by what I'm feeling right here,
I have hardly any freon in it.
Especially if the water isn't as warm as it can be.
Too
freon.
There's been any water here because there's been ice.
Two ton.
I can't see it,
but I know it's a R22 system.
A 22,
1997.
37 up top they have
a Goodman air handler.
We should probably
check there for a leak.
All right
We're in what's a really hot attic
about to do a leak search because
this is a newer air handler
I'm pretty sure
that this is not the first time they've had troubles with
