I recently got a mini-split A/C unit. First time I turned it on after installing the refridgerant line iced up where it connects to the outdoor unit. Turned it off...let it sit....turned it on and it started working. Now....almost 1 month into use, it iced up again.
The user manual states it needs to be plugged into a dedicated circuit with a surge protector. All outlets are connected in series and the old window unit worked fine from the one I am plugged into now. Went and bought a decent surge protector today...plugged it in and seems to run fine now.
My thoughts are A) low on freon B) trash in the line set causing a blockage
C) outdoor unit not level enough
I was in a rush doing the install and didn`t level out the area where the outdoor unit sits. Not too crooked but not level.
Anyone have any ideas here? I don`t have gauges or a vacuum pump. Only alternative I have is to take it out and take it to a service company or back to where I bought it. Alot of time and hassle to do that though. Could the surge protector be the solution? Now is not a good time of the year for AC problems but it never is :worried
