R & C Plumbing Heating & Air - Platte City's Licensed HVAC Repair

Great question! In Platte City, a frozen coil can sometimes be caused by a clogged condensate drain line—a common plumbing issue. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking and clearing this drain line, which helps your HVAC system drain moisture properly. By addressing this during a routine plumbing check, we can help prevent a messy and costly coil freeze-up before it happens.

Yes, it should be addressed quickly. A non-spinning fan often indicates a failed motor, a common issue here that causes the compressor to overheat and shut down. Continuing to run the system can lead to complete failure. We recommend turning the system off and calling us for same-day service. We'll diagnose the motor or capacitor issue and get your cooling restored efficiently.

First, turn your thermostat to 'off' (not just 'fan') to stop the system and let the ice melt. Check your air filter—a dirty filter is a top cause of freeze-ups in our local homes. If it's clogged, replace it. If the ice persists or returns after thawing, the issue could be low refrigerant or a drainage problem. Give us a call; our inspection can pinpoint the exact cause and prevent further damage.
