Possible Causes

Indoor coil temperature too low due to low load, dirty filter restricting airflow, low fan speed, low refrigerant charge, faulty evaporator sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn the unit OFF before cleaning filters or coils.

Steps:

  • Clean filter: Remove and clean the air filter thoroughly.
  • Check airflow: Ensure supply and return grilles are not blocked by furniture, curtains, or covers.
  • Inspect indoor coil: If the coil is iced over, turn the unit to FAN ONLY mode and allow the ice to melt completely. Then clean the coil if dirty.
  • Adjust setpoint: Avoid setting the thermostat extremely low in cool mode when the room is already cool.
  • Sensor check: If LO persists and the coil is not freezing, the evaporator sensor may be misreading; see E2 procedures.
  • Refrigerant issues: Repeated freezing or LO with clean filters may indicate low refrigerant; contact a technician.
