Why does my AC condenser freeze up?
There are many reasons why your AC unit may be freezing up. A freeze up can also be caused by low refrigerant and improper fan operation. Low refrigerant levels make the coils too cold, and a faulty fan prevents air from moving. Faulty thermostats and drainage problems are often causes of a freeze up.
