Icing somewhere in Central ac
by: Dadan

Hey, Diane

You didn’t tell us how fast it built the ice on the outside unit..2 hr or less?? Have someone check the ductwork for restriction airflow. You icing problem can be with improper function of indoor motor or you just have airflow restriction somewhere. It could be anything without looking at it.

A.C. freeze
by: diane

my elderly mother's A.C. did the same thing. She doesn't have a variable speed fan. The fan works but it isn't blowing much air through the vents. does anyone know why that would be?

outside unit has ice
by: Podo

I had the same problem on mine last summer, My unit was newly installed. After investigation I found out that the fan on my unit located inside the furnace was set at low speed giving no enough air passing thru the evaporator causing ice to build up from unit outside the house up to the evaporator coil.Changing the fan speed to higher setting solved the problem.
