A frozen compressor can be caused by several things. One cause could be partial loss of refrigerant or being over charged by someone adding to the factory charge. Another cause for a frozen compressor might be poor heat transfer in the evaporator, which is where the cool air comes from. This is usually systematic of a dirty evaporator or poor air flow coming from the fan. Another cause for a frozen compressor is the system not turning off when it should. This problem is usually a result of a bad thermostat or the thermostat not turning off soon enough.
