Air Conditioner
Freezing Up
Possible Causes
The air conditioner
is unplugged
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped
Power failure
Airflow is restricted
The temperature control
may not be set high
or low enough
The air filter is dirty
The room may have been hot
or cold
Cold air is escaping
Cooling coils have iced up
Ice blocks the airflow
and stops the air conditioner
from cooling the room
What to Do
• Make sure the air conditioner plug is
pushed completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker
box and replace fuse or reset the breaker.
• If power failure occurs, turn the mode
control to OFF . When power is restored,
wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner
to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
• There is a protective time delay (up to 3
minutes) in the heat/cool and heat pump
models. Wait 3 minutes for the air
conditioner to resume heating or cooling.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds
or furniture blocking the front of the
air conditioner.
• Turn the knob to a warmer or cooler setting.
The coolest setting provides maximum
cooling. The warmest setting provides
maximum heating on models with heat.
• Clean the filter at least every 30 days.
See the Care and Cleaning section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on
you need to allow time for the room to
cool down or warm up.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and
cold air returns.
• Set the exhaust vent in the closed position.
• See freezing up below.
• Set the mode control at HIGH FAN or
HIGH COOL with the temperature at a
warmer setting.
