How does a front defroster work in an air conditioner? The front defroster uses the same blower motor, fan and venting system that the heating and air conditioning system use. Air passes through the heater core and then dry air that has been run through the air-conditioning evaporator is added to help remove the moisture from the windshield. What causes a defroster to become inoperable? Old Age: As defrosters age they can lose their conductivity which reduces their ability to conduct an electrical current. Repeated cleaning, the sun and objects rubbing over the grid will eventually wear the grid down...

What happens when you overcharge a condenser? Excessive Condenser Heat Yet overcharging will greatly increase the temperature of the air being pushed out of your condenser unit. This heat stems from the higher operating temperatures of the refrigerant itself. A portion of it also comes from the overworked compressor motor inside of your condensing unit. Can a dirty condenser cause AC freeze up? Dirty coils can cause freezing because the layer of dirt on top of the coils can prevent them from absorbing the water fast enough. Bi-annual checkups from your local HVAC professional can keep your AC's coils clean....
