I've had that same thought and don't like the implications. But, I might
also add that this problem first started happening after my son was
fooling with knobs trying to get cool air. The last time it stopped
working for me was after using the fan to get more fresh air. I haven't
messed with the air conditioning switches but I think my son did.
Coincidence?
