hires ideal 55 freezing up

[pepsibob]

I just pluged in my hires ideal 55 . line coming from compressor freezing up. what would cause this low Freon? thanks

 Is the rest of the cooling compartment cold, and is the compressor cycling on an off?  If so it may be overfilled with freon.

The in side is frosted also didn't listen for cycling

       Thermostat may not be working then!

1: bad thermostat not shutting off compressor

2: overcharge system (too much freon)

3: evaporator lines are broken loose from sides of liner, this would also cause a warmer that expected tank temperature ( IE; not cold enough inside) and a longer compressor run-time because themostat sees box as too warm & calls for compressor more often or runs it longer.

4: thermostats capillary sensing end isn't in good contact with tank wall, again causing long run times or never shutting off 

5: wrong thermostat for application
