Ice forms on the indoor unit evaporator coil or on the front panel during cooling.

Safety: Do not chip ice with sharp objects; this can damage the coil.

Steps:

• Turn off cooling: Switch the unit to Fan mode only to melt the ice.
• Clean filters and coil: After ice melts, clean filters and inspect the coil for dirt.
• Check airflow: Ensure furniture or curtains are not blocking the indoor unit.
• Adjust settings: Avoid setting the temperature extremely low for long periods; use a moderate setpoint.
• Technician check: If icing recurs, have a technician check refrigerant charge and sensor operation.
