I have a heat pump on a split system and for the past 2 days the suction line freezes up shortly after turning the system on. I can turn it off, let it thaw, and turn it back on again and shortly it freezes again. Why?

thanks by

Lack of airflow across the evaporator coil or low charge.

Does the indoor fan blow very much air from your grills when only the fan is running?

Does the indoor fan run at all?
