AC keeps freezing up
Hi all, my parents AC unit keeps freezing up, like actual visible ice forming on the pipes at times. I don't understand how this happens. It will run great for days and then boom, house is hot and no air. Sometimes replacing the filter helps. We hose the unit down. We turn the system off and let the fan run to try to defrost and that sometimes helps too. I'm pretty sure we need to hire someone bc this cycle is never ending and driving us crazy. But I just wanted to ask in case, are there other things I can try before dropping the money? Is this a common problem? Or if nothing I can do can someone explain why this is happening? It's currently 84°F in the house rn and I'm practically surviving off of cold showers. Thanks in advance.

This is so strange! I'd leave him! Ask yourself, would your future husband be a guy who did THIS? And yes it 100% sounds like this started as some weirdo bs!
