∙ 14y agoIf the unit is used to cool a hot room (above 75 degrees) and the thermostat is set at or below 60 degrees, this would cause the condenser coils to freeze and damage the compressor. That is why it is recommended to cool a hot room gradually rather than expect instant gratification out of your air conditioning unit. Typically when an Air Conditioning unit has been frozen, it requires a service call to repair the compressor due to the damage of the refrigerant not flowing and the compressor overheating.

What causes an ac unit to freeze up?
The cause of you AC freezing up is not enough air flow over the coils. Iam not sure if you are tlaking about a window air conditioning unit or an outdoor unit. If it is a window unit your filter is plugged or there is something blocking the intake, this could be inside or outside. If it is an outdoor unit then your compressor fan may not be working, the unit may be sized too large or once again your filter needs changing or something is blocking the intake.
Why does your inside line ice over and keep your unit from cooling?
If you're talking about air conditioning, it will ice over if there is not enough airflow over the coils. If the filter on the front was clogged it would keep the air flow low and the unit can freeze up. Turn the unit off, let it thaw, remove the blockage, and restart. Also, if the unit has leaked some of it's coolant it will ice up.
