Yes, the owner's manual does caution not to leave the A/C control in the red (compressor on and not cycling) for a long time, to prevent evaporator freezing. That makes sense to me. But:

a) What do you folks think is a "long time"?

b) If the compressor is locked on, and the evaporator freezes, I assume we'd know because the air coming out of the vents wouldn't be cooled. Would operating the A/C system until this occurs damage or stress its components?
