Possible Causes
Low indoor airflow due to dirty filter, Low refrigerant charge, Very low room temperature setting, Faulty indoor coil sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the unit and allow ice to melt before further inspection.
- Clean filters and coil: Ensure maximum airflow by cleaning filters and the evaporator coil.
- Increase set temperature: Set the thermostat to a slightly higher temperature (e.g., 24–26°C) to reduce icing.
- Run in FAN mode: After ice melts, run the fan-only mode for 30 minutes to dry the coil.
- If icing recurs: A refrigerant or sensor issue is likely. Have an AEG technician check for leaks and sensor operation.
