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


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.


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.


When you have a cooler filled with ice and bottles of Gatorade why doesn't the Gatorade freeze?

because the freezing point of Gatorade is lower than the tepurture of the cooler


Why would the evaporator coil freeze up every evening shortly after dark when it is fine during the daylight hours?

It may be over-charged (too much refrigerant) or not enough air across the evaporator coil. Actually it could be under charged. The pressure is lower during the night since it is cooler outside. If the pressure drops on the low side below 56-58 pounds correlates with lower than 32 degrees making the humidity in the air freeze to the coil (evaporator). In all likelyhood you need a slight charge of R22. If the filter is dirty, again it could be like the 1st answer not enough air over the coil. But I will stick with my theory.
