maria asked:
I forgot to change the filter of my air conditioner unit for a whole year (whoops!) and just thought about it the other day, at which time I opened it up and found that the whole thing, although running fine, was frozen over and dripping all over the floor. I let it thaw out then changed the filter, but it still keeps freezing over every time I turn it on now. How can I fix this, or do I need to call a technician?
I live in Miami so the season never ends here, so buying a new unit will be expensive regardless. The AC still works, just freezes over every time it runs. Turning it off is very difficult because it’s hot here 24/7 so I guess I’ll have to pray I can get someone out here to fix it soon.

It is low on freon

Turn it on low cool. If you have a dehumidifier, run it.
The coil`s.
if it works some times check collant lvls if it doesnt work at all it could be the fan in the box outside the home not working.
most likely you are low on freon and will need a technician to recharge your unit.
The cost of getting old one acs right now are going down in price because most places teh season is almost over shop around before you have saved money but if it does not check the coils this would.

your air conditioner have a leak or also can be the compresor burn out but fist thing you have to chek is the capasitor
For it to just have it to freeze over dirty acoilsince you get it rechargedbut would recommend you have leak somewhereit is legal to just have leak somewhereit is legal to freeze over dirty acoilsince you went year without changing your filter this could be the only problem2 low on.
