QUESTION FROM Brandy

please help I bough a used window unit air conditioner. It ran fine for a few days then I woke up this morning and it was frozen over. Now it is making a bubbling sound and sorta drippy. Its the only unit I have and i hope its not broke its 110 here.

ANSWER FROM HOME-WIZARD

Dear Brandy:

It you are getting ice forming on your outside condenser unit of your room air conditioning unit, this is typically the result of one (or more) of the following problems: 1) the refrigerant level is low in your system. 2) the air flow around your condenser unit is being restricted (for example, being blocked so that it can't easily flow through the fins). 3) your air filters are very dirty and are blocking air flow through your system. You will want to correct these problems before you do any damage to your condenser motor.

Hope this is helpful.
