CLEANING CONDENSER COIL
An accumulation of dirt and dust prevents
the condenser coil from removing, making
your unit cool poorly, run constantly, or even
stop completely if the compressor overheats.
Clean coil using a vacuum cleaner with wand
attachment. If the coil is greasy, wash it with a
solution of warm water the mild detergent using a bristle brush. Take care not to
drip water onto other parts of the condensing unit.
CLEANING DRAIN AND DRAIN PAN
Clean the drain using an oven baster to force
a solution of hot water and baking soda
or bleach into the drain opening. To clear a
stubborn clog, insert a length of 1/4” round
plastic tubing into the drain and push it gently
through to the drain pan; pull back out. Wash
the drain pan regularly with a solution of warm
water and baking soda.
CHECKING THE DOOR SEAL
Open the door and examine all four sides of
the door gasket for any tears. Feel the gasket
for brittleness and/or cracks. If the gasket
shows damage, then it must be replaced. If no
damage is observed, close the door and check
the seal between the gasket and the cabinet for
obvious gaps. Next open the door and close it
on a dollar bill. Slowly pull the dollar bill out from the door. If the gasket seals
properly, you will feel tension as it grips the bill. Repeat this test all around the
door. If the gasket does not seal tightly, replace the gasket after first checking the
door for any sagging or warping.
SERVICING THE CONDENSER FAN
Inspect the condenser fan motor by removing
the mechanical housing cover to gain access.
Unplug the unit. Clean the fan blade, and turn
it to see if the blade rotates freely. If the motor
binds, replace it. If any damage to the blade is
observed, unscrew the retaining nut that holds
