AC freezing over.

(1/1)

Hi, my first post here, i’ve had my edition 30 4 years now with a relatively trouble free time but im now stumped by my aircon freezing over after 5-10 minutes of use. Recently leak checked and re-gassed as i thought that would be the issue but no luck. Heating system works without issue with AC off but when turned on the air continues to blow for 5-10 minutes before gradually dropping off whilst the fan continues to blow the same. Upon investigation the AC pipes are frozen solid which i think is freezing the evaporator solid. Anyone had a similar issue?

On mine it was the valve on the AC compressor was stuck new valve fixed the issue.

Thank you doylebros! I appreciate the rapid reply. I stupidly didnt even think the control solenoid could be seized.
