a good place to start. may save you a call. you can put your Tstat to heat and it will defrost faster.

if it does it again, perhaps a shot of 22(?). that A coil is easy to get to and the unit looks in good shape. just replace the A coil if it is leaking. should not be more than a few hundred.

there is also a chance the orifice tube is clogged.

put gages on it once it defrosts.
