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.

Where is the ac drain line on a ford f-150?

There isn't an "AC drain line". Refrigerant is recovered through the schrader valve on the high pressure side. Servicing an AC system is not a "do-it-yourself" task, especially when it comes to recovering, handling, and storing refrigerant.


Why did your AC on a Volvo 960 work for just only a day after charging it?

You probably have a leak in the AC system or the AC compressor failed. Mine had metal particles in the AC lines that prevented fluid from flowing and practically blocked the AC flow. This is a filter in the AC line right under the AC condenser attached to the frame. Any AC shop charges $75 to check and diagnose.Any car AC system has seals and with age they fail.
