If the air conditioner was working properly, no preventive work was carried out, and the rules of operation were not violated. Still, suddenly, ice began to pour from it, a breakdown probably occurred. A frozen air conditioner not only does not cool well but can also be seriously damaged if emergency measures are not taken in time. Ice formation can occur on the external and internal units' valves, tubes, and heat exchangers.
A thermostat regulates the temperature of the air conditioner. Homeowners set the desired temperature, and the thermostat delivers this setting to the unit. If this part is damaged, the owner won’t have the correct temperature in the house.
This air conditioner needed a thermostat replacement as it used to turn off randomly. Our contractor replaced a faulty part with a new thermostat Pro that illuminated the issue with ice build-up. It's crucial to promptly address ice buildup on the outdoor unit because it can damage the components and reduce the air conditioner's efficiency. If you notice ice forming on your outdoor unit, turn off the system to allow the ice to melt naturally, or use warm water to melt the ice carefully.
