Yep, that was an issue. I'd either take a look at or get someone to look at your coils and more specifically the inside of the evaporator coil that you can't see by just opening the front of the coil cabinet. Only reason I replaced my system last year was due to the changeover to R32 and R454 from 410a. I wanted a 410a system. My old system was installed in 1995 and obviously I maintained the unit. It operated fine when I took it out.

If no one has changed the fan settings, a standard fan unit has low, medium, medium high, and high, you might be able to help with dehumidification by dropping from the standard high speed setting down to medium high. You'd just want to check to see what the CFM spec is at medium versus the size of your system. You need 400cfm of air movement per ton of AC. So if you have a 2 ton unit, you want the minimum CFM from the blower to be 800cfm.
