I had a similar problem, with an airconditioner "freezing over", Turned out the thermostat located in front of the cooling coil had quit, and the thing had turned into a freezer! That thermostat is designed to cycle the compressor off before it freezes over. Might want to observe the compressor and see if it cycles properly before adding freon.

It could be a little low on freon. But if you have not been having to add freon in the past I would suspect a clogged air filter or the evaporator coil needs to be washed out. The most common cause for icing is lack of air flow thru the evap. coil. After checking and cleaning and proving ample air flow you must let fan run with compressor off till ALL ice is gone before restarting compressor or the ice will form right back again. Should wash dirt out of condenser coil too. Don't forget to turn the electricity off before washing anything tho!!

Good luck

Hi Keno,

Freon is a Dupont trade name. Refrigerant is idenifiyed by numbers R12, R22, R500 etc. Depending on how old your condensor unit is theres new refrigerant to replace the now outlawed refrigerants, R12 and R22 at which yours is probably R22. There is a direct replacement for R22 but it's not available without a license.

Mixing two different refrigerants will do nothing more than cost you more to have it fixed correct "if" that is the problem.

Ben gave you some good pointers to look for. A hair dryer works well for defrosting the evap coil. There again you working with water and electricity so be extreamly careful.

If its freezing over, then you don't need anymore refrigerant, its just doing what the thermostat is telling it to do: COOL. Check 'stat, airflow, etc, like other guys suggested. Then call for help-its worth it.
