How To Stop Your Air Conditioner From Freezing Up

My Air conditioner is freezing up almost daily. I've tried resetting the temperature and nothing seems to work. What would you suggest I to to stop my Air conditioner from freezing?

Solution:

There are several factors that could be the cause. The four main reasons for air conditioner freeze ups:

Refrigerant charge

Outdoor temperatures

Insufficient air flow

Defective Blower

You may have a low refrigerant charge which can cause the air conditioner to freeze up. The system 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 parts or objects the friction could cause a leak. Inaddition 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 know how to recharge it you may need to contact a service technician.

In temperatures under 60 degrees outdoor air conditioning units tend not to function as well. When the temperature drops the system begins to not function properly and freeze ups can 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.
