Best Answer

A central air conditioner is different from a window or wall unit in that it cools the whole house or business. The most common reason for ice to be forming on the air conditioner is that the filters are clogged. In an air conditioner for your home, the filter is the same one as the burner for your heat. I change mine on the 1st of the month. Twelve filters cost about $.50 each so for six to eight bucks you can save yourself the cost of a service call. Don't buy the pleated filters - they restrict too much air, causing ice buildups.

It froze up! Turn it off for about 30 mins or so and then turn it back on. Once you notice the air still blowing but not really so cold, turn it off for a bit.

Because something is wrong. I can`t tell you what because any number of things can cause this. Basically the a/c units capacity and the houses cooling load have become imbalanced.
