The air inside contains more moisture and "condenses" on the surfaces. If below 32deg.F it forms ice. This will occur usually where the insulating quality of the surface is poorest. This may be the product of air "infiltration". Consider caulking the inside perimeter of the windows when the ice is gone and the surface is dry. If these are single pane, consider upgrading to double or tripple pane windows. If retrofitting is not an option, consider the addition of storm windows or as a cheap seasonal fix, get the shrink wrap clear window kits at the hardware store. If this is a very "tight" house, consider the adition of an air to air heat exchanger system. These will help exaust the moisture and pollutant laden air, replacing it with fresh air, etc. The two air streams do not communicate with eachother, but much of the energy from the exaust air stream is transferred to the fresh air via a heat exchanger, keeping your heating costs in check. lc

What are the potential causes and solutions for ice forming on the inside of Andersen windows?

Ice forming on the inside of Andersen windows can be caused by poor insulation, high humidity levels inside the home, and cold outdoor temperatures. To prevent this issue, homeowners can improve insulation around the windows, use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity, and ensure proper ventilation in the home. Additionally, sealing any drafts around the windows can help prevent ice formation.

What can be done about windows that don't defrost in a 1996 Ford Windstar?

If the air coming out of the defrost isn't hot, your heater core may not be functioning. Also, coating the window with an anti-fog formula like Rain-X (sold at PepBoys and the like) may help keep moisture from clinging to it in the first place. I've also found that a credit card is helpful in scraping the inside of windows. try running the heat with the a/c system on, as the a/c removes water from the air, which would normally fog up or ice up the inside of your windows
