Soleus Air Evaporator Coil Icing

Frost or ice buildup on the front evaporator coil or air outlet of the Soleus Air AC unit.

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

Dirty air filter, low indoor airflow, operating in very low room temperature, low refrigerant charge.

Safety: Turn off and unplug the unit. Do not chip ice with sharp objects; this can damage the coil.

Thaw the coil: Allow the unit to sit off until all ice melts. Place towels to catch water.
Clean filter and coil: Wash the filter and clean the evaporator coil fins.
Check room temperature: Avoid running the unit in cooling mode when the room temperature is below the minimum specified in the manual.
Monitor operation: If icing recurs quickly, a refrigerant or sensor issue may be present. Contact a licensed technician for further diagnosis.
