Inside Coils Froze Up

[jinx]

Yesterday during the evening I noticed that it seemed kind of warm and checked the thermostat and sure enough it was 82. I shut the A/C down and after a while I started it back up. I checked the registers and the air was cool but not as cold as it normally is. I shut it off again and started calling repair places. Of course no one could come out. I called the repair guy that works for the MH dealer that I purchased from. He got back to me last night and said to check the coil. He said they can ice up if the T/Stat is set too low. I checked and sure enough there was a little ice(A/C had been off for quite some time). He said I could let it thaw overnight or use a hair dryer. Didn't have a hair dryer so I used a little space heater. Got it thawed out and used shop vac to suck water out of tray. Turned the A/C back on and it seemed to be working. Went to bed and a few hours later I wake up real hot. I checked a couple of registers and there was barely any air coming out. I turned off the A/C and checked the coil. It was covered by a solid block of ice. I am now thawing with portable heater again. I know this is long but I wanted to give an accurate picture of what is happening.

Hi,


Normal causes are dirty a-coil, blower not working, blower working interrmittantly, filter dirty, low charge .


You can go to top toolbar, click on HVAC, then click Articles and read "cleaning your a/c" and "cleaning your furnace blower".


Those also cover the a-coil cleaning. That will make sure all is clean.


Clean or replace filter and then if still the same, call a Tech to check charge.



Thanks for inquiring,
Robert

Hi,


You're very welcome. Were they able to locate and repair the leak ?



Thanks,
