Could a failing Evaporator Coil cause the LENNOX XC21 to have symptom: No Air From Vents?

A refrigerant leak in the evaporator coil causes the remaining refrigerant to expand too rapidly, dropping the coil temperature below 32°F. Moisture from the return air freezes onto the fins, eventually creating a solid block of ice that physically prevents air from passing through the vents. Lennox coils from this era were frequently subject to formicary corrosion, leading to this specific failure sequence.

Could a failing ECM Blower Motor Module cause the LENNOX XC21 to have symptom: No Air From Vents?

The XC21 is typically paired with variable-speed air handlers or furnaces. The ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) contains a control module that is sensitive to voltage spikes and thermal stress; if the module fails, the motor will not spin despite receiving a 24V call for fan operation, resulting in zero airflow.

Could a failing Indoor Integrated Control Board cause the LENNOX XC21 to have symptom: No Air From Vents?

The control board manages the relay logic that sends power to the blower motor. If the board's fan relay fails or the logic circuit is interrupted by a communication error (common in iComfort-enabled systems like the XC21), the blower will never receive the command to engage, even if the outdoor unit is running.
