^^^ No, it will NOT.

If you *think* so, please explain how a plugged drain freezes water.

Sorry I been away, YES ^^^ it will. Backed up water in the line will freeze all the way back to the evaporator coil. Happened to me.

If you're serious, you're story is full of unicorn ice.

Yep my unit is in the basement, the line is only 3/4" because it had to run across the floor to my laundry tub drain and be unobtrusive as possible. Evap iced up and line was blocked. Coolant lines going to condenser were also iced, don't know about compressor. Actually pretty simple. I should check it right now.

Sorry, but you're complete wrong dude.

A plugged drain will in no way cause a unit to freeze up!
It simply isn't happening.

In order for a unit to freeze up, there must be something wrong with the system in order for the evaporator to reach freezing temperatures. As in low refrigerant, low/no airflow, blocked/faulty metering device, restriction or low ambient temperature.

A plugged drain does NOT lower refrigerant pressures!
It simply overflows and makes a mess.
