Dear House,

Please take better care of yourself so your internal organs stop breaking. I’ve grown very fond of your spleen which I will henceforth refer to as “Air Conditioning” and would like to see it thrive and continue to function rather then freezing up and not working (like last night). Also if you could see to it that your superior vena cava, which we’ll call “Clothes Dryer” would actually dry my clothes instead of just blowing cold air, that would be just keen. I know you’re busy with those projects you’re working on, but you’ve really let yourself go. Good luck in slimming down for the end of summer.

Yours truly,

Me

    Dude, I got the same problem with mine. What I do is I run it til it freezes up, which takes about eight hours, so over night, then I switch the cooling coils off and switch the fan from Auto to Run. Cold air, less electricity, but sometimes, if the freeze up melt fast, you get a wet basement.

    Sorry man, that sucks.

    I have functioning laundry appliances which are at your disposal should you ever care to use them…

    You may already be aware of the problem with the AC but the last time I saw that sort of behavior it was because the filters were clogged and long overdue for changing. Surprising, but true.

    I’m actually pretty religious about keeping the filter clean due to my allergies, but good call. Thanks for the offer of the laundry facilities, but I’ll probably just use my parent’s machines. That way I get mom to feed me as well ;)

    The problem is that I can’t actually run the fan on this unit with the cooling coils turned off. The shut off actually turns off the whole air handler. But yeah, I’m going to keep the unit turned off all day today so the condenser can defrost and I’ll just click it on an hour or so before I go to bed. I need to get the landlord to come in and fix it though, since that most likely means that dust has gotten inside the unit, which will fuck up the condenser pretty royally. Thanks for the advice though.
