There are alot of factors when dealing with this problem. Heat Load ( Typical A/C unit is designed with a split of 20 degrees farenheit.) If you measure the temperature leaving the discharge registers, the temperature should be around 20 degrees colder than the air entering the return air grille (Filter Location). Also your unit seems to be a 3 ton; In which this system is designed for roughly 450 sq. ft. per ton and can go as high as 550 sq. ft. on newer homes with more than adequate insulation values. On older homes with minimual insulation the 400- to 450 sq.ft. rule per ton should be observed. Another reason could be that the units needs servicing like a dirty condenser coil or evaporator coil, improper refrigerant charge, etc can all be issues that can result in your problem.
Finally, most typical units or designed to maintain a home 20-25 degrees below outside temperature. Example 95 degrees outside, inside should not be set lower than 70 to 75 degrees, and the 5 degree range depends on the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating/Ratio ) of your unit. Hope I was helpful in giving you some direction in things to look for to resolve your problem.

Goodman GPH1336H21A

If the power failure was due to a storm the blower motor may have shorted out. Check that the breaker for the inside unit has not tripped.

Cold air comes out but doesnt blow

The filter in a Goodman unit is in the Air Handler located at the bottom of the unit. Screw on either side take them loose and the filter pulls out. Now trun of fan first so the filter will come out easier. You may ahve other problems like stopped up coil or low on refrigerant. Russ

Brunt smell and sweating

Seems like your blower motor is burning up. Its the motor that blows cool air across the refrigeration coil. If it is a whole house ac unit, probably your main blower motor for the furnace. If you are getting sweat, that means the compressor is compressing the refrigerant, and you should not smell anything from the outdoor unit, only from the furnace. Hope this helps.

blowing cold air on this furnace usualy caused by high limit trip, or flame roll out. the first one, (high limit) is from insf. air flow. (blocked filter,bad zone damper?
The second,(flame roll out) caused by bad heat exchanger,blocked vent.ect.
