Air conditioning not cooling is one of the most annoying issues for users during the hot summer. However, in many cases, the cause of it is extremely simple, originating from the accumulated dirt. Sometimes, just cleaning the evaporator coil of the equipment can make the air conditioner work normally again.
Nevertheless, according to the belief of many people, cleaning electronic equipment is a complicated and difficult task that can cause damage. That is also the reason why many air conditioners are “neglected” for months or even years. According to the household electronic website Zol, in fact, cleaning the evaporator coil of the air conditioner is a simple job that users can do right at home.
Step 1:
Turn off the power supply to the air conditioner to ensure absolute safety before cleaning. Then check the evaporator coil and the condenser.
When checking the evaporator coil and the condenser, users should pay attention and remove any foreign objects such as dead insects, nails,… inside. If there is an obstruction, the air conditioner will not cool properly.
Step 2:
Check the gas connection and the electrical connection to ensure that there is no gas or electrical leak that could be dangerous during use.
Step 3:
To clean the air conditioner housing, you can use a cloth or a wet towel. When wiping, try to move the cloth in the same direction, rubbing on the surface from left to right to the edge, then fold the cloth, change to a clean surface and wipe again. This process should be done several times, it can help the device look as good as new.
Step 4:
To clean the filter mesh, users need to open the front panel of the air conditioner. On most devices, the control panel or the plastic panel on the front can be easily opened by gently touching the levers or the edges of the housing. Removing the filter mesh is also very simple, just locate the lock position and gently push it to remove.
Then, users can rinse it directly with clean water. This cleaning process can use some small tools such as toothbrush. After cleaning, let it dry naturally, avoid using a dryer as it can shrink or damage the filter mesh.
Step 5:
Clean and disinfect the fan blades. This is a non-removable part, therefore traditional cleaning methods such as wiping with a cloth or using a brush… do not achieve high efficiency, and may even damage the internal components of the device. Therefore, users need to use a professional tool like a spray air conditioner cleaner.
Step 6:
Use a dry cloth to thoroughly dry the parts that can be wiped, install the dry filter mesh and the cover of the air conditioner, then wipe the entire exterior clean.
Turn on the air conditioner and let the remaining water flow out. When the machine runs smoothly without any strange noises, remove the dust shield bag, and your air conditioner will be clean inside and out.
