Jack Frost is nipping at our nose and Santa Claus has just left. The east coast is just their third Blizzard for a total of over 125 cm (56 inches) receives the snow in a week. So who in their right mind would think of window air conditioners in this time of year?
Call me crazy, but I am.
It 'a good time of year to start this project. First, keep those sharp mind for next spring. Plus you can try these new toolshave for Christmas. But above all it is a good project, because winter is the time spring will be too busy to think about this job.
Very little is needed to open a window, air conditioning, clean air, except a lot of patience. If you lack patience, is a job that should run to the local appliance serviceman.
Tools
· Can or container (old muffin tin works well)
· Vacuum
· Long handledBrush (an old toilet brush works well)
· Oil can
· Rags
· De-greaser or spray detergent
• Selection of screwdrivers (Philips, flat blade, 1 / 4 "hex)
Since · Tool (optional)
New · Filters (if disposable)
Starts ————–
Start Before removing the filter from the grid. If you are replacing a disposable simply a new one. Other types are produced in a plastic frame and canbe cleaned and reused. To clean a reusable type lay it flat in the sink and sprinkle surface with laundry detergent. Then cover with about an inch of hot water. Enough so that the filter is submerged. Soak for 15 minutes. Remove from water and rinse with lukewarm water. Hang to dry while proceeding to the next step.
According Next, remove the front grille from the main air conditioning. Solito based on two spring-loaded clip on the bottom. It is usually removed by extractingthe grille gently forward and push down at the same time. If there is resistance, then look for hidden screws. Look near the top of the grille or behind the door handle. Once removed from the grill place until later.
Third Carefully remove the metal cover of air conditioners expose the inner workings. After all the screws are removed, lift up the lid. Do not let it hit, like the other parts can have sharp edges. This is where the old man is useful(Ice Cube or muffin tin works well). Use it to remove the list of all the screws held. The air conditioning is often a number of different types and sizes of screws. Separated from each other or confusion will arise when we start the installation.
Fourth Check the fan motor for oil drilling or oil plugs. If the engine oil plugs are usually made of rubber. Be careful, because when you remove the rubber can be fragile. Often breakOutside, in oil drilling because of constipation. In this case, try to remove the cap with a broken needle, the tip of a small screwdriver.
Once the fan motor oil drilling is suspended, a few drops of oil on each end of the motor housing. Use a general purpose (3in1) oil or engine oil. A # 30 oil is sufficient.
The natural tendency is to excess oil. Too much lubrication is as bad as not enough. Therefore only 3 or 4 drops on both ends of the motor body is sufficient. Add the oilSlowly, a few second pause between a drop. If you add too much too fast will result lubrication.
Fifth Use the brush to remove dust and surface dirt from the evaporator (front fins). Use only a movement up and down. Do not go sideways or the fins can be bent. The fins are very soft aluminum and can be easily damaged.
Once surface dirt is removed, spray with degreaser or cleaner. This is a good product on the market called HVAC cleaner. As the name suggests, ismeant for heating, ventilation and air conditioning coil cleaning. If this is not possible, the spray is used in kitchens and bathrooms Fantastic works very well.
may be standing, about 15 minutes or as instructed on strippers. This, cleaner dirt hidden answer. Remove dirt and clean excess slowly pouring warm water into fins. Allow water to all electrical connections or components that can close the battery into place. As a furtherPrecaution, the engine cover with a damp cloth. to protect them from water.
Do not use any form of compressed air or water, as this can drive dirt further into fins. Also use extreme caution as these coils are filled with high pressure coolant.
Sixth Straighten bent fins. Use a fin comb if available. If you do not comb till then something soft like a Popsicle stick. Set the blades will increase the efficiency of airflow throughCoils. This adds to the overall cooling effect of the air conditioner.
Seventh Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the condenser (rear fins) coil. A plastic cover usually surrounds the condenser fins. If so, to see the top, or open a waiver. If you open allowing easier access to the condenser fins. Again, be careful, because the cooling coil is also filled with high pressure coolant.
8th Clean any accumulated dirt from both fan blades with a soft clothRAG. Do not bend blades. This could cause a vibration damage the engine.
Ninth All surfaces and vacuum the front and rear mounting of the grid. Do not forget to lower the air conditioner metal cover to a vacuum. If the cover contains air holes clean them thoroughly. If necessary with a damp cloth.
10th Exhaust Cleaning water left in the base and leave for several hours.
When completely dry plug in air conditioning and testing. Ifeverything looks good to separate and reassemble.
After installation is complete, retest operation to ensure that, replace the lid has struck again. Add the lid tends to twist the chassis and internal parts can lead to move out of alignment. This can cause the fan is too noisy. To resolve this problem, remove the lid and redirected the air conditioner. Replace the lid and test for the noise every 2 or 3 additional screws are added to the main part ofthe cover.
Finally, air conditioning cover with a plastic sheet or old blanket. In a room warm and dry. Lift slightly off the ground, focusing on some pieces of wood. This conditioner protects the soil against the metal edges of the air, protect and even the air conditioner from moisture.
—————- Are you ready
Repeat this simple procedure every year. If you do this, the machine is ready for many more yearsreliable service.
