Best Answer

There are a couple of things that cause your AC to freeze up.

If your indoor coil is icing up you:

1. Have a dirty filter

2. Have a system low on refrigerant

3. You have a blower that is not providing enough air across the coil

4. You have set the thermostat too low (below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, setting the AC lower does NOT cool the room down faster)

It is sufficiently cold outside (where the outdoor unit sits) that the coolant returned to the indoor unit is freezing condensed moisture from inside. The ice will build up and probably freeze the condensation pump an you may end up with a little flood on your hands.
