Fujitsu 15,000 BTU 25 SEER Halcyon Wall-Mount Mini Split with Energy Saving Mode MECH-COIL Error Fix: Frozen Indoor Evaporator Coil

Error code MECH-COIL on the Fujitsu 15,000 BTU 25 SEER Halcyon Wall-Mount Mini Split with Energy Saving Mode means: Frozen Indoor Evaporator Coil. The indoor evaporator coil has iced over and is no longer effectively cooling — causes include low refrigerant charge (leak), dirty air filter restricting airflow, indoor fan motor running too slowly (bearing wear), running in cooling mode at very low room temperatures, or a faulty expansion valve; turn off the system (or switch to fan-only mode) and let the coil thaw completely before restarting — this may take 1-4 hours; address the root cause before restarting to prevent recurrence; running with a frozen coil can cause liquid slugging to the compressor (code 42/94)
