The reason for the coil (behind the filter) to freeze up is 'low air flow' over the coil, which is usually caused by a dirty filter AND/OR the coil itself.
Be sure the coil is clean and not clogged up. Shine a flashlight into the fins and be sure it's clean.
If it is clean then you need to look at the fan motor. Is it blowing correctly? Is it cutting off at times?
Low air flow across the coil is the main problem with coils freezing up, although less likely is a 'low refrigerant charge.'
I would make sure the coil was clean and the motor was blowing air across it in the proper manner.
