A coil packed with ice usually means a defrost failure. Here are the four root causes — cheapest to most expensive.
The most common. A bad defrost heater or stuck timer leaves the coil to ice over every cycle.
If staff props the door open during receiving, humid Tampa Bay air laminates onto the coil fast.
A slow leak lowers evaporator temp below freezing across the whole coil, causing ice to form even during on-cycle.
The defrost cycle completes by time instead of temp, ending before the coil is clear.
