Most likely a bad thermostat or refrigerant leak.


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.


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.


How is a magnetic door closure in a refrigerator important?

you need a good seal on you fridge so the out side moisture dose not form on the evaporator and freeze the unit up.


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.


What device causes the refrigerant to undergo transition from a liquid to gas?

evaporator


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 are the causes of central air conditioners freezing?

If you mean freeze as in ice up it is probably low on freon.


What causes low evaporator refrigerant temperature on air conditioner?

gas leakage

The evaporator is the part on a vehicle with an air-conditioning system which causes the refrigerant liquid under pressure to change to gas.
