The evaporator may be dirty or the condenser(outside unit) may be dirty. You may be low on "freon", indicates a possible leak. Check the filter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're asking why the 'outdoor' part freezes, it's too cool outdoors. You should never run a house central A/C when the outdoor temperature is below 60 degrees F. Professionals will tell you that you can blow out a compressor this way. Big $$$$. You may be asking why there's a part in your furnace (that has part of the central A/C inside) that freezes over with ice in the summer. Your first clue will be that the house gradually grows very warm even though the A/C is running, and it worked fine until now. If the indoor air is too hot and damp when you turn on the A/C, you can overwhelm the system's ability to move heat out of your home. Instead of collecting moisture at the heat exchanger inside your furnace and using gravity or a small pump to move the water to a drain or outdoors, the water freezes right on the heat exchanger. The ice acts as an insulator, continues to build and the house will remain warm. This can cause expensive damage as the ice grows too big for the area around it. Switch the thermostat to heat (furnace) instead of cool and raise the temperature setting for about 5 minutes and the ice should all melt, then you can switch back to cooling. Since you've already removed much of the moisture in the house, you'll probably be fine, and the few minutes the furnace was running won't even be noticed.

In terms of energy, a liquid will freeze when enough heat energy is removed from it. This will reduce the average kinetic energy of the particles (atoms or molecules).
The Evaporator is the part of a refrigeration system that absorbs heat. Its counterpart is the condenser which is used to remove heat that was absorbed in the evaporator.
The evaporator is cold.. heat flows to a colder object.
An evaporator coil is a vital part of any heating or cooling system. It is usually found in an air conditioner, because evaporator coils are particularly good at absorbing heat when air is passed through their system. Evaporator coils look like a series of pipes.
There are a few reasons why your refrigerator may be leaking:Blocked evaporator drain (for draining away defrosted ice)Leaking water filter headLeaking water tankDamaged or cracked water lines
;slow blower;low on freon;dirty filter.
Most likely a bad thermostat or refrigerant leak.
No,most likely your evaporator / filter is dirty or your system is low on freon.
The evaporator coil is starving for refrigerant. Basically what is happening is the refrigerant pressure/temperature is low enough to cause the humidity in the air to freeze on the evaporator coil. This cause a air restriction, hence insufficient to no indoor air flow. Usual common cause is a low charge of refrigerant or a restriction in the metering device, although not the only possible causes.
A dirty cabin air filter in your car or a dirty air filter in your home can reduce the amount of air that goes across the evaporator. When that happens, you aren't pulling enough heat out of your home/car and the AC lines including the evaporator, can freeze and completely block the air.
