roomSiDe component cleaning
Evaporator Coil and Drain Pan / Drain Hoses
IMPORTANT NOTE: The power MUST be
disconnected to the unit before carrying out any of
the following cleaning!
To access the components within the roomside
section of the unit, disconnect the power to the unit
and then remove the unit chassis front cover by
unscrewing the #8 hex head retaining screws that
hold the front cover in place (use a ¼” hex head
driver). You will then have access to the following
components:
EvAPORATOR COIL
Check the coil for cleanliness and uniformity of fins.
If the coil is dirty, vacuum clean with a soft brush
attachment. This is the only form of cleaning that
should be carried out within an apartment. If the
coil requires additional cleaning, the unit must be
removed from the apartment and cleaned using
compressed air and / or washed. These operations
MUST be carried out in a facility properly equipped
to handle this type of work in a safe and professional
manner.
Drain pan / Drain HoSe cleaning
The condensate pan is located directly under the
evaporator coil. Check the visible section of the interior
of the drain pan for any buildup of dirt or condensate
water. Wash annually to remove all dirt build-up.
Check condensate drain pan for algae growth every
2 to 3 months. If algae growth is apparent, consult a
water treatment specialist for treatment. The application
of algaecide every 2 to 3 months will typically eliminate
algae problems.
DRAIN HOSE
Check drain hose for leaks and blockage to eliminate
potential problems.
EvAPORATOR MOTOR AND BLOWER ASSEMBLY
If there is evidence of dirt or dust build-up in the
evaporator motor or blowers, they should be cleaned
either by vacuum cleaning (if working in an apartment)
or by removing the unit to a workshop location and
cleaning with compressed air. Always obey safety
guidelines for using compressed air in this latter case.
Your
ICE AIR WSHP
has permanently lubricated motor
bearings that do not require additional lubrication.
Blowers and motor are factory assembled for quiet
performance – if there is any excessive noise and
vibration from this assembly, it should be serviced
by a qualified technician.
