One is airflow. We talk a lot about checking changing your filters inside your return. The reason is because your unit needs to breathe. So when it cannot breathe, it's going to frost up, freeze up and stop from working because now it cannot breathe. Another common aspect of the freezing unit is the slow vein refrigerant. The unit itself is not just going to run low on Freon all of a sudden or or use the Freon it's been using for 10 years. All of a sudden it needs £2. Obviously something has changed. It has leaked out somewhere. We need to find that leak, stop it from happening, charge it back to the proper amount and then you'll be good to go. But the freezing is usually caused by refrigerant and by airflow. So I think I would do myself if I saw it freezing up or frozen is to make sure my filters are clean and nothing is stopping the airflow. If everything's good there, then I would call and have a technician come out and check it because most likely you are low in refrigerant. Or again you could have another airflow problem of you know, the blower motor, things like that, not working, things you cannot do yourself. But the filter is something you can do yourself. So check that and make sure it's good to go. If it is, then call a professional.
