Freon Evaporator - Ice accumulating on ceiling around evaporator or on fan guard’s venturi or blades

Symptoms 

Ice accumulating on ceiling around evaporator or on fan guard’s venturi or blades

Possible Causes ‍
  1. Defrost duration is too long
  2. Fan delay after defrost period
  3. Defective defrost thermostat or timer
  4. Too many defrosts
‍Possible Corrective Steps 
  1. Adjust defrost termination thermostat
  2. Defective defrost thermostat or not adjusted properly
  3. Replace defective component
  4. Reduce number of defrosts
