Levoit Evaporator Coil Icing

Dehumidifier coils freeze up with ice during operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Low ambient temperature, Restricted airflow from dirty filter, Low refrigerant charge, Faulty defrost control

Safety: Unplug before defrosting.

Steps:

Defrost: Turn off the unit and allow all ice to melt completely. Place towels to catch water.
Clean filter and coils: Clean the air filter and gently vacuum the coils.
Check room temperature: Ensure the room is within the recommended operating range (typically above 41°F/5°C). Move the unit to a warmer area if needed.
Monitor: If icing recurs under proper conditions, the refrigerant charge or defrost control may be faulty. Contact a qualified technician.
