Cleaning Compressor Interior
1.
Remove at least two of the four panels by unscrewing the 16 screws from each panel.
Be careful not to cross thread the screws as they might have dirt and rust on them. If any
of the screws are damaged replace them with new ones.

Make sure the electronics bay is free of debris. Dirt and other obstructions might be
limiting the air ventilation through the louvers.
