First, when I returned from Virginia I got in the car at the airport and found the air conditioner was not working. It worked fine two weeks prior when I went to the airport but Saturday morning it was not working. I thought perhaps it was a simple matter of low Freon so I ran by an oil change place to get some added. They found the problem was a restriction somewhere, not low Freon and said I needed a new expansion valve and evaporator for about $800. Well, I wasn't going to get it fixed then and I knew that the chance of needing both of those items at the same time was incredibly low. So, I took it to the dealer yesterday. The problem was the orifice so they had to replace the line for about $350.
This morning the air conditioning in the house was not working and I fund the circuit breaker outside to the compressor unit was tripped. I reset it like have several times before and came back inside. The A/C went out again so I went to check to the breaker only find it smoking. It was burned up in a major way. So, I had to call an electrician t come and replace it.
As of now we are cool in the house and cool in the car.
