Default A/C lines freeze up b/c no air is circulating

I guess the dripping sarcasm didn't come through with plain
text. The original poster reports the furnace fan is off,
and trouble code six blinks, indicating reversed polarity or
open ground. Cleaning the coils at this point would be
absurd.

Unlikely that is the cause in this case. OP stated it
freezes up quickly
which indicates no air movement at all. I would bet on a bad
thermostat or
circuit board in the furnace not allowing the blower motor
to come on.
But you are correct when you say a dirty evap coil could
cause a freeze up.

If the fins are cleaned, does the fan start up again? He
did
say there was a blinking trouble code. Maybe cleaning the
fins will help?

It can also be caused by dirty clogged fins in the AC unit
in the furnace
plenum.
