    Goodman Heat Pump freezes up when fan doesn't come on in Auto mode
    Goodman, Model AW3682-08C (I think... it's hard to read... original install 10 yrs). New coil, new thermostat. Everything just fine until recently, the inside blower intermittently fails to turn on when set to Auto, then coil ices. If I run the unit with fan in "ON" position, cooling seems to operate correctly above and below the ambient temperature.

    Thanks for your help! :)

    Odds are you have a control board acting up.
