We all know how harsh Dubai summers can get. Imagining even an hour without an air conditioner in the peak summer heat of Dubai is no less than a nightmare. That is why it is always recommended to clean AC units to get fresh and clean air without any problems. In this blog we will tell you why and how to clean a split AC indoor unit at home.
But, let us get some of the basics clear in our mind before seeing the steps on how to clean a daikin AC indoor unit.
How To Clean a Split AC Indoor Unit at Home?
Step 1
Making Sure The Air Conditioner Is Completely Dry
Making sure that the air conditioner is completely dry is the first and the most important step before actually starting the cleaning process. Air drying for at least 30-40 minutes is done to avoid any potential electrical risks posed by wet components. This you can do by setting the air conditioner to ‘fan mode’ to dry the ac quickly.
Step 2
Turning Off The Air Conditioner By Unplugging It
Making sure that the air conditioner is completely dry is the first and the most important step before actually starting the cleaning process. Air drying for at least 30-40 minutes is done to avoid any potential electrical risks posed by wet components. This you can do by setting the air conditioner to ‘fan mode’ to dry the ac quickly.
Step 3
Covering The Air Conditioner Unit With A Cleaning Bag
To protect the indoor and outdoor electrical parts of the air conditioner from damage during cleaning, another precautionary step that you should make sure of, is to cover the entire outdoor unit with a special cleaning bag or a plastic sheet to protect it from water or cleaner solutions.
Step 4
Carefully Removing The Front Cover
Removing the front panel of a split air-conditioner will only get you access to the air conditioner’s internal components. It should be made sure that this step is being done very carefully so that no fragile part of the air conditioner gets damaged.
Step 5
Removing The Air Filters
Once the air conditioner’s front panel is removed, you will be able to see the filter. To remove the filter, you need to locate the tabs that connect the filters to the unit, press them, and gently remove the filters thereafter.
Step 6
Washing The Air Filters
To wash the air filters of your split air conditioner, you need to first make a solution of mild detergent and water. Use this solution to gently scrub the filters using a sponge or cleaning pad. Your goal here is to remove all the trapped dirt and contaminants from the filters. Once the scrubbing part is done, it’s time to rinse off the solution and the dirt off the filters.
Step 7
Cleaning The Cooling Fins
To locate the cooling fins, which are a set of metallic blades, you would first be required to remove the air filters. The fins require cooling as they accumulate dust and debris, which therefore reduces the cooling performance of the AC. To clean these fins, use a blower with a dust-collecting box or bag, making sure that the delicate fins are cleaned delicately.
Step 8
Cleaning The Coils
Coils in a split air conditioner are round metal components that run down through the center. Cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils requires a condenser coil cleaning solution.
Step 9
Clearing The Drain Line Clogs
Checking the drain lines for any kind of clog will make sure there are no water leaks in your air conditioner. The step step in cleaning the drain pipes is to disconnect them. You will be required to use a special kit with water pressure to clean the air conditioner’s drain pipes. It is also important to air dry the drain lines after cleaning.
Step 10
Turning On The Air Conditioner To Allow It To Clean Itself
After cleaning and fitting back the components of the split air conditioner, it is time to restart the air conditioner. This allows it to run and clean itself. This step also assures that the system is working properly and that clean, cold air is coming out of the air conditioner.
