A few things can cause this problem. Airflow or low refrigerant charge. 1st. airflow, or the lack thereof. could be caused by a dirty air filter and/or coil. blower motor not comming on or the compressor contactor sticking causing the compressor to continue to run without the indoor fan running. 2nd. Low refrigerant charge.

Normally coils freeze up for 1 or 2 reasons : dirty coils and needs cleaned or low on refrigerant (Freon)

How do you clean the indoor coils of an air conditioner?
The coils can be cleaned using a coil brush and foaming coil cleaner. These items are available at www.appliancepartspros.com.
Air conditioner air stinks?
The air conditioner stinks when the coils gather dust and make water (condensate) and it becomes mold. what you should do is to change your furnace filter and clean it then spray the coils down with a weak bleach solution.You can use a wet-dry to vacuum the wet dust.
Why would an air conditioner freeze it is covered with ice if you did change the filter?
More information is needed to solve this problem. First, which coils ar freezing? (indoor or outdoor) Next, are coils clean and free from obstuction? Recommend clean all coils, visual inspection of compressor unit, and check freon charge level. Under charge can cause icing of indoor coils.
How do you fix an air conditioner from freezing up?
It could be low or freon, or maybe dirt coils.
How do you clean the fins on the coils of a window air conditioner?
Remove the air conditioner from the wall or from the window place it on the ground remove the covers get the hose out and hose the back of the air conditioner off, if it is a older unit it could be heavy depending on the size.
Why window air conditioner fails to cool?
Most of the ones that I have seen have dirty condensor coils. That's the coil you see from the outside. They get dirty on the inside of the air conditioner where the fan blows air through it.
