Hole in your transition betweenfurnace an the evaporator will this cause the evaporator to freeze up?

No,most likely your evaporator / filter is dirty or your system is low on freon.

Can a clogged filter cause an evaporator to freeze?
A dirty cabin air filter in your car or a dirty air filter in your home can reduce the amount of air that goes across the evaporator. When that happens, you aren't pulling enough heat out of your home/car and the AC lines including the evaporator, can freeze and completely block the air.
What causes the air return not to pull air and unit to freeze up?
The evaporator coil is starving for refrigerant. Basically what is happening is the refrigerant pressure/temperature is low enough to cause the humidity in the air to freeze on the evaporator coil. This cause a air restriction, hence insufficient to no indoor air flow. Usual common cause is a low charge of refrigerant or a restriction in the metering device, although not the only possible causes.
What happens if you partially block an AC unit?
It could cause the evaporator coil to freeze up if not enough air is blowing over it. If that happends just shut it off and let thaw.

What can cause your ac to kick off and on by its self?
Modern A/C systems will cycle in order to prevent the evaporator from freezing up. Moisture in the air condenses on the cold evaporator and if the A/C runs unlimited, this moisture will freeze on the evaporator and eventually block the air flow through the it. So todays A/C system monitor the temperature of the evaporator and will turn the A/C off periodically to prevent freeze up. In addition, most A/C systems will disengage at wide open throttle in order ensure all available horsepower is available to drive the vehicle. Modern A/C systems require from 2-5 hp to operate.
Why is the evaporator in a central air unit freezing up?
Low Ambient Temperature.The mechanical refrigeration system used in air conditioning equipment is design to work when the outdoor temperature is above 65°F. If the AC runs when the temperature is too low will cause the evaporator coil to drop in temperature and freeze over. BigBOB
Is refrigerant superheated when leaving the evaporator?
Refrigerant is superheated when leaving the evaporator so that the compressor is not getting liquid along with the gas, becauseÊliquid can cause damage the compressor.
Which transition shows cause and effect?
as a result
Would a dirty evaporator coil cause high humidity levels in a home?
Yes.
What transition words indicates a cause and effect?
Therefore
What are the ramifications of using the wrong antifreeze in a 2000 Beetle?
The wrong anti-freeze could cause the water to freeze in the engine. The wrong anti-freeze could cause abnormal corrosion in the radiator.
Why does your AC unit freeze up?
There are 4 reasons why an A/C system will freeze up. The first and most common is dirt. A dirty filter or evaporator coil will restrict airflow which lowers evaporator coil temperature (Near furnace inside). A dirty blower wheel will not move enough air either. Second is low refrigerant. Third is the least common and most expensive to find and repair. A restriction in the refrigerant system. If you have a restricted metering device in the evaporator coil or anywhere else in the system it will cause a temperature drop across the restriction. How much of a drop depends on how bad the restriction is. Reason 4 is a bad contactor on your outside unit that is not allowing it to turn off when the furnace turns off.
