Possible Causes
Evaporator coil temperature below safe limit, Low airflow due to dirty filter, Low refrigerant charge, Very low ambient temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit before inspecting for ice.
- 1. Inspect for ice: Remove the front panel and look at the evaporator coil. If covered in ice, leave the unit off until all ice melts.
- 2. Clean filters: Wash and dry the air filters to restore airflow.
- 3. Check fan speed: Run the unit in FAN mode and verify strong airflow. Weak airflow may indicate a failing fan motor.
- 4. Adjust settings: Increase the set temperature slightly and avoid running on maximum cooling continuously in small rooms.
- 5. Technician evaluation: If Ft recurs frequently, a technician should check refrigerant charge and sensor calibration.
