your condensor is clogged up, or your condensor fanmotor is not working, or your compressor struckup due mechanical problem inside of your compressor.
Its the compressor starting to seize up. You will need a new soon and they are expensive your looking around $1300.
The return hose or the cold line (different pipes) will both get very cold due to the operation of the Air Conditioner. This causes water to condense (condensation) on the portions that are cold, If the part is cold enough the water freezes into frost that you see.
sounds like your A.C. compressor clutch is locking up
During colder months, it's typical that frost, and sometimes ice, builds up on the outdoor cabinet housing a heat pump's condenser coil, compressor and fan. Normally, the heat pump's defrost cycle melts the accumulated frost or ice, but severe ice buildup may indicate a problem with the unit
The ac compressor is probably seized up or seizing up. Don't run the ac any more until the system is repaired. If the compressor fills the system with trash (if it hasn't already) the cost for repair will be very high.
Compressor surge is when the air pressure after the compressor is actually higher than what the compressor itself can physically maintain. This condition causes the airflow in the compressor wheel to back up, build pressure, and sometimes stall. Common conditions that result in compressor surge on turbocharger gasoline engines are: * A compressor bypass valve is not integrated into the intake plumbing between the compressor outlet and throttle body * The outlet plumbing for the bypass valve is too small or restrictive * The turbo is too big for the application
Yes, it is okay to dig up cannas before a frost. Cannas are sensitive to frost, which can damage their tubers. Digging them up before a frost and storing them indoors for the winter will help protect them from cold temperatures.
Vehicle could have a solenoid type switch to increase idle to compensate for load on engine caused by A/C compressor
Margaret Frost has written: 'Chin up'
Take it to a qualified mechanic possible causes are: low refrigerant, blown fuse, bad Pressure cycling switch, bad compressor, bad power steering switch
it will probably also die if you turn on the A/C, because the connection here is probably the A/C compressor. See if that is the case, and you may your answer. It may be that the A/C compressor is locking up or dragging, or your idle is too low to handle the extra load of the compressor.
