Usually there is two things that cause coils to freeze up....Air flow restrictions (dirty coils), or Low on freon....Before you ever add freon you must make certain there is no dirty coils....Chris Anderson AlienAC.com

How can you tell when the evaporator coils on an ac unit is bad?
You see mold on the coil, you see ice on the coil, you see dye on the coil with a blacklight after cycling dyed refrigerant through it, you run a halogen sniffer over it and it detects a leak.
What does it mean when ac is not blowing?
there are different types of AC units witch makes it difficult to answer your question, but I think the kiss theory works here. Ether your fan is not working or your evaporator coil is iced over. there are several reasons for the coil to be iced over. the main one is it needs to be cleaned dirt and dust will restrict the air flow and cause it to ice over.
Why do air conditioner coils ice up when the refrigerant is low?
Any refrigeration or AC evaporator coil has a tendency to ice up when they get cold. Water condenses on the coil when the air is cooled. That water can then freeze. If an AC system is operating correctly it will cool the air and eventually when room temperature reaches the set point the AC unit will turn off, this give any ice that has formed on the evaporator coil a chance to melt. If the system is low on charge, the room may never reach the set temperature and therefore will not shut off. The ice will continue to build on the evaporator coil until it is completely iced over. A dirty evaporator coil can cause this as well, so change your filters often. Another possibility is the ac system has to be matched to room or house size. Too small and too large a system will both cause you problems.
How do you connect a diode across a ac coil?
You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.
What is the ac coil in home ac units?
The coil are responsible for transferring of cool air trough the unit
Why does your central ac work for days then stops and works again days later?
Refrigerant could be low causing the indoor coil to ice up. Leaving it set too low and having it run all of the time when there's not much heat load could make the coil ice up too.
How do you pump down an ac system to clean the evaporator coil?
Call an AC contractor

What is coil pitch?
The distance between the two sides of an individual coil of and AC armature winding id termed the coil pitch.
What is moving coil voltmeter?
mic or moving iron coil is instrument type works on ac and dc
Can a 12vac coil be operated by 24vdc?
no, in an ac circuit the coil provides impedance but the DC coil needs some resistance to limit the current
Where is the ac coil condensor on a 1990 f150?
In front of the radiator
