Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the unit and allow ice to melt naturally. Place towels under the unit to catch drips.
Steps:
- 1. Clean filters: Dirty filters are the most common cause; wash and dry thoroughly.
- 2. Check supply and return vents: Ensure furniture or curtains are not blocking airflow.
- 3. Inspect fan operation: After thawing and restarting, verify strong airflow from the indoor unit.
If icing recurs despite good airflow, low refrigerant or a control issue is likely; contact a technician to check the Panasonic system pressures and charge.
