I think the aluminum "wire" in your picture just to the right of the connector is your thermostat.
It monitors the temp of the air coming back into the AC and turns the compressor off when the temp reaches the setting of the knob.
If you turn the "colder/warmer" knob down (that is the thermostat) to minimum and the unit does not shut off after it cools the TC, then the thermostat is bad.
The unit can freeze up if the humidity is high and it isn't cutting off.
You are absolutely correct on that one. That wire has a little ball at the end that is clipped right in the air intake. It's definitely working, I can change the 'colder' knob, and you can feel it click and cut the AC to just air. I'll experiment tomorrow, hoping that if I don't have the cold as far as it will go on 'colder', the AC will cycle on and off as it should. I've just always ran a camper AC as cold as it will go, all the time. Maybe I can't do that with this one? I don't think I've ever seen a camper AC run as cold as this one.
If it's still showing ice on the lines and compressor, then the one poster above is probably correct....It's low on refrigerant and probably will take a dump on me.
