Detection of Indoor Freezing

Indoor freezing detected — Evaporator coil is freezing

Samsung · Air Conditioning

What does Detection of Indoor Freezing mean?

The system has detected that the indoor unit's evaporator coil is freezing, which often leads to reduced airflow and poor performance. This causes the compressor to stop and triggers an outdoor unit protection control error.

Common Causes

  • Blocked air intake at the indoor unit.
  • The indoor fan is not operating correctly.
  • Dirty or clogged air filter.
