it's a heating unit that stays outside, why the fuck is it not working with ice on it

(it's a window unit in this room)



I'm not handy enough to do a jury rig :3

it's 50 degrees and if I turn it on it just spits out cold air which never warms up

thank you for sharing in my grief

I don't understand what is going on

when I put it on the heat option and like medium fan speed, the fan never comes out and it's still steadily blowing out cold air

when I put the Cool option on, the fan instantly goes up to Medium where it should be

normally it shouldn't even think about coming out (the cool option) since it's god damn 20 degrees below what I would keep the AC on normally

normally

turn the unit around it will blow the cold air out.

If it's a heat pump, they don't work well at all when it gets very cold outside, and they rely on emergency heat strips to reach set points.

WHAT THE FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU SHOOTING OUT COLD AIR FOR JESUS FUCK

According to my elementary calculations, you've had 8 months to FUCKING FIX this thing!!

If the coils are frozen, the compressor won't be able to warm air to send inside. Does it have visible ice on the outside? If so, a temporary fix might be to run the A/C for like 30 minutes to defrost it and then see if it will produce any hot air. You need to call up an HVAC repair company imo.
