frozen keezer....what to do?

[Xtant]

I need to figure out some sort of condensation solution, but that's not the purpose of this thread...

My love controller was showing my keezer at 51*. I popped the lid open and there was ice around the side about 3" thick, 4-5" wide and about 3' long. The compressor was still running. It's surface temp was 179*.

I unplugged it and chipped off all the ice.

How long should I wait to plug her back in?

No reason to wait once the ice is off.

Sooo...let me know if I am on the right track, here...

The condensation was freezing closest to the compressor. Would the ice build up frozen the cooling lines in the wall? When I noticed the ice, I took surface temps of everything. it was all around 50* except where the ice was. It was 22*

Can frozen condensation really be that hard on a system? Or are there perhaps other issues? Coolant low?
