How to keep the air conditioner from freezing
Causes
The freezing of air conditioning is a very common problem that affects thousands of equipment a year. This problem is directly reflected in the productivity of employees of various companies, as well as the comfort of your home, just when you need it most.
Many people immediately think that the air conditioner has been frozen due to a gas leak, but sometimes the reason is not that. There are several reasons why your air equipment can stop cooling or even break. One of them is the freezing, which in most cases is caused by something that prevents the flow of air.
Other causes that can cause the split air conditioner to freeze are dirt, temperature changes, and even problems with the motor.
Solutions
Three basic solutions to finally solve the freezing problems.
- You must turn off the unit to avoid short circuits. Alternatively, place a container under the evaporator unit so as not to wet the medium.
- After defrosting, dry the evaporation unit with a cloth and leave it out for a few hours, until it is completely dry. Although the equipment usually comes prepared for the accumulation of ice, it is advisable to make sure that once thawed it is completely dry so that there is no electrical problem.
- Another option is to notify a professional.
If the filters are dirty you can correct it yourself
Change or clean the filters of your air conditioner every 6 months during the hot season or once a year in the cold weather.
Finally, these freezing problems are generally easy to identify, but all cases require attention to increase the unit’s lifetime.
