Scenario:
My air conditioner is freezing up almost daily. I’ve tried resetting the temperature and not one thing seems to work. What would you suggest I to to stop my air conditioner from freezing?
Solution:
There are assorted components that could be the cause. The four main reasons for air conditioner freeze ups:
Refrigerant charge
Outdoor temperature
Insufficient air flow
Defective blower
You may have a low refrigerant charge which may cause the air conditioner to freeze up. The scheme needs to be charged correctly to enable it to work properly. You may have a leak in the refrigerant lines.
If the lines have been vibrating or rubbing other constituents or objects the friction could cause a leak. In addition if there are loose fittings or weak solder joints it could be leaking from those areas. If you’ve determined the refrigerant lines are not leaking than it may just need to be recharged. If you don’t recognise how to recharge it you may need to contact a service technician.
In temperatures underneath 60 degrees outdoor air conditioning units tend not to function as well. When the temperature drops the scheme begins to not function the right way and freeze ups may occur. The simplest method is to not use your unit when the temperature cools down and open your windows or doors. If that’s not a option you will probably need to have a ambient temperature control installed in your system.
The evaporator coils will become dirty over time. A dirty filter restricts the air flow making it lose air flow and at last it becomes so slow that it freezes up, or at best, not cooling as well as it should. This results in dirty coils that will need to be cleaned. Depending on your air conditioner you may have to remove the coils to clean them. You must replace the AC filter yearly. For central air conditioning units another problem that occurs is when you have duct work that is undersized causing the unit to freeze up. If you feel that may be the problem you’ll need to consult a professional. Try replacing the filter firstborn and it may do the trick.
Air conditioner freeze ups may take place when the blower is not running at the required speed and may need to be replaced.
These are the main reasons why air conditioners freeze up. If you’re lucky it may just be a dirty filter which you will have to be competent to replace yourself.

 DONT DO IT
By SISKEL
Move along now. Your wasting your time here. Buy a lasko or some other wall fan. This thing vibrates a ton, even on low. P.O.S.!

 Works fine
By B. Valdez
Keeps the room cool. That’s the main purpose. Mounts solidly to the wall. My only concern is that you can really hear the fan from the other rooms in my house, the entire wall vibrates.
