AC coils iced
What dos it mean when your AC coils have a thin solid block of ice on them
|
Could be the coils are starved for airflow due to either a clogged air filter, failed fan in the air handler, or the coils are really dirty.
|
The coils were very disgustingly dirty
I was able to use a soft hairbrush (wife is out of town:)) as a coil comb They aren't icing up anymore but I know I need to do a more thorough cleaning I have a shedding dog and the filter has been gone since I had work done on the unit two or three weeks ago I thought he replaced it but was merely assuming |
Thats probably it... Dirt will slow the air movement and allow the condensation to build up and then turn to ice.
I have two dogs that shed plus a cat so filters gotta get changed every two months max. |
Been working without the ice since about 30 minutes after your post
Thanks |
Glad it worked out!

Loss of air flow or loss of charge are the biggest causes of frosting/icing of coils. Try a coil cleaner like Virginia coil blaster.
