It needs to be looked at by a pro, too many possible causes for this (usually simple ones) to diagnose accurately from here.
How do you know it's a blockage in the line, and not a leak causing me to have low freon levels? Thanks. You probably Have a blockage in the line posssibly in the orifice expansion tube. Find an A/C Service tech ASAP. Do not continue to run more damage may occur.
Water lines can break outside of the house for a variety of reasons: age, flooding, freezing in cold climates, damage from excavation, frost heaves, tree roots, etc.Water lines can break outside of the house for a variety of reasons: age, flooding, freezing in cold climates, damage from excavation, frost heaves, tree roots, etc.Water lines can break outside of the house for a variety of reasons: age, flooding, freezing in cold climates, damage from excavation, frost heaves, tree roots, etc.Water lines can break outside of the house for a variety of reasons: age, flooding, freezing in cold climates, damage from excavation, frost heaves, tree roots, etc.
Evaporator and suction line(the largest line) will ice up, house will get hot. pressures will be very lo
No, eventually the water will freeze and then break the faucet. Outside faucets should be sill cocks which shut off inside the house. If it is a regular faucet, the water should be shut off to that line during winter.
There will be ice on your AC lines if the pressure has dropped too far. Freon has a much lower freezing point than water and will freeze condensation quickly.
The line that you fill freon to in a car is known as the fill line. Going past the line can cause overflow, or even damage your vehicle.
no
If the line is outside, sloping will prevent the risk of freezing/braking if there is not water in the line! Inside, it just prevents risk of drips and bacteria growing in what could be stagnant water.
on the large ref line (suction line)
Low pressure line - larger line from A/C compressor
Its due to the refrigerant dropping to a temperature that's below freezing(32 degrees at sea level) and the humidity(water) that forms on the suction line freezes caused by several things: shortage of freon, dirty evaporator coil, oversized unit, and dirty filter.
