High-Efficiency Pleated Air Filter
A heavily loaded air filter creates a high static pressure drop, reducing the mass flow rate of air across the evaporator coil. Without sufficient heat load from the return air, the refrigerant fails to boil off completely at the designed pressure, causing the coil temperature to plummet and moisture to flash into ice. Replacing the filter restores nominal airflow and prevents the localized temperature drop.

Uncased Evaporator Coil
Refrigerant leaks, often occurring at the hairpins or feeder tubes of the evaporator coil, lead to a drop in system pressure. According to the pressure-temperature relationship of R-410A, lower pressure results in a lower saturation temperature; once this falls below 32°F, condensate freezes upon contact. A replacement coil is the only engineered solution for a porous or leaking heat exchanger.

ECM Blower Motor & Controller
The GMVC96 utilizes a modulating ECM motor to control airflow. If the motor's internal inverter or the bearings fail, the fan cannot maintain the required CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) to transfer heat away from the coil. This mechanical failure causes the evaporator to over-cool and eventually transform into a solid block of ice, necessitating a replacement of the motor assembly.
