Air Conditioning System Refrigerant Lines Are Freezing Up Or Covered In Ice.
- AC refrigerant line is covered in ice—which seems crazy on a hot day.
- Freezing generally has to do with blocked or low air flow or refrigerant problem and can severely damage your AC system if it keeps freezing a number of times.
- Chances are your inside evaporator coil is frozen solid.
- DO THIS NOW. Turn the thermostat AC/COOL system OFF and turn the FAN ON to help defrost the unit. This helps to unfreeze the coil and prevent damage to the expensive compressor. Could take 24 hours to defrost.
- There are a number of possible causes. Begin by checking your air filter. If it looks like a gray cat then replace or try to clean, last resort is to remove the filter temporarily. Next make sure your duct air registers and return line are open and not blocked by drapes or furniture. Check furnace drain line is not clogged.
