Do-it-yourself air conditioner cleaning: regularity, methods, means

Why do you need to clean your air conditioner?

Dust and dirt can cause the device to malfunction. In the instructions for any type of air conditioner you can find a clause about their mandatory periodic maintenance. Timely cleaning of the device prevents the appearance of unpleasant odors and noise during operation. Keeping your air conditioner clean can significantly extend its service life.

A device that is cleaned of dust and dirt does not spread bacteria and viruses that accumulate inside it throughout the living space. They can cause allergic reactions, cause respiratory diseases and asthma. Dirty air conditioners increase energy consumption, which can seriously affect the family budget.

Cleaning an air conditioner yourself requires knowledge of its design.

Signs of a dirty air conditioner

The device gives a person various signals about the need for cleaning, which can be easily recognized. A sure sign of air conditioner contamination is the unpleasant smell of dampness and mustiness that appears during its operation. When the device is turned on, a strong hum or crackling noise may be heard.

If the drainage system of the structure is malfunctioning and there is a lack of refrigerant in it, the air conditioner begins to make sounds reminiscent of “squelching” and “gurgling.” Severe contamination of the air conditioner leads to loss of cooling capacity. The indoor unit may leak.

Signs of heavy pollution

The air conditioner, as a rule, itself “tells” the owner about the need for preventive maintenance. The main signs of pollution include:

• The appearance of a leak from the internal module;
• Unpleasant odor that occurs after switching on (this was mentioned above);
• Increased noise, crackling or unstable sound;
• Poor cooling quality, spontaneous temperature changes.

Any of the listed symptoms is enough to begin inspecting the device and cleaning its elements. If you neglect the need to perform preventive maintenance, the risk of failure of certain parts and the inability to use the equipment increases. In such a situation, you cannot do without calling specialists and additional costs.

Practice shows that many issues related to air conditioner maintenance can be resolved at home. In this case, no special tool is needed.

In addition, useful information on servicing a particular model is provided in the instructions. It shows a diagram for removing the indoor unit, as well as basic cleaning principles.

How to clean the air conditioner yourself?

To clean the air conditioner, you need to know its structure. The structure consists of internal and external blocks. The first is located indoors, and the second is mounted with access to an external air intake. A detailed diagram of the design of each specific air conditioner model can be found in its technical data sheet or operating instructions.

To clean the device you will need:

Vacuum cleaner

Toothbrush

Rags

It is better to carry out work wearing rubber gloves and a respirator, having previously de-energized the device. The surface selected for cleaning the air conditioner must be covered with film or paper. This will prevent dust and dirt from spreading throughout the room. The air conditioner cleaning procedure occurs in several stages.

Cleaning your home air conditioner step by step

Before you start cleaning your home air conditioner, independently determine the types of work that need to be done. The following processes are carried out independently: cleaning the fan, heat exchanger, filters, drainage.

The outdoor unit also needs cleaning, but it is better to hire a professional to do this job. Working at height is not safe and requires special equipment and experience.

To clean your equipment yourself, you will need the following tools:

• vacuum cleaner;
• soft cloths;
• a small brush (not very wide and with medium bristles);
• Toothbrush;
• detergent;
• soap;
• container with warm water.

Next, self-cleaning of the equipment is carried out in several stages.

Cleaning the external unit of the air conditioner

Also, the external unit of the device’s air conditioner needs constant cleaning, although it gets dirty much less than the internal one, so it needs to be removed from dust once every 6 months.

Cleaning the outdoor unit

For the procedure, a powerful vacuum cleaner is used, which is capable of extracting all the dust from the external filters and heat exchange radiator, as well as a soft brush:

1. Remove debris. The brush is designed for large debris, and the vacuum cleaner for small debris.

   The external unit is washed under running water.

2. Remove dirt from the filter grid with a brush.

   The block is washed with water and a soft brush.

3. Reinstall the housing cover.

When the outdoor unit is located within reach for servicing, use a compressor. A hose with a fitting is pushed into the housing and the valve opens. This way you will remove dirt outside the air conditioner grille.

Disassembling the indoor unit

Before disassembling the indoor unit, be sure to disconnect the air conditioner from the power supply! Open the indoor unit of the air conditioner. To do this, press on the plastic clips that are located on its side walls (see photo). Take out the mesh filter.

Indoor unit cover latches.

After this, unscrew the screws that secure the air conditioner housing to its interior and remove it. In some models, you need to pull it up to do this, but mostly it will move on its own.

Important! The power supply cable and wires are connected to the display on the body. To prevent them from being torn off, tie the housing to the inside of the air conditioner with rope or wire.

Cleaning air conditioner filters

Cleaning air conditioner filters is easy, so anyone can handle this process, the main thing is to follow this sequence:

1. You need to open the lid on the top panel.

   Open the lid on the top panel

2. Air conditioner filters are mesh pieces that are carefully pulled out.

   We take out the air conditioner filters

3. Place soap in a bowl of warm water and wait until it completely dissolves.
4. The filters must be placed in the resulting solution for half an hour.

5. After the time has elapsed, check whether any dirt remains on the filters. If so, use a toothbrush to scrub the elements, but do not press them too hard. Running water will help you wash the soapy solution off the filters.
6. To remove excess moisture, wipe the parts with a dry cloth or, in sunny weather, leave them on the windowsill.
7. Place the filters in their place.

   The air conditioner is cleaned in several stages

Cleaning the filter

The procedure begins by removing the cover of the device. They pry it up with your hand and pull it up as far as it will go. Below it are filters, which are a cellular plate with a curved shape. After removing them from the housing, an inspection is carried out and the degree of contamination is determined. Usually it is enough to rinse them with warm water.

The filter must be removed and cleaned

If the filters are heavily soiled, soak them in soapy water for 20-30 minutes. After this, the layer of dirt is removed from their surface and washed in clean running water. Clean filters are wiped with a dry soft cloth and left in the air until completely dry.

Expert opinion

Starostin Konstantin Adreevich

Air conditioner installation and maintenance specialist

You should absolutely not dry filters with a hairdryer. This drying method can lead to their deformation.

Pocket filters cannot be cleaned. They are simply replaced periodically.

Radiator cleaning

The parts are located under the lower cover of the air conditioners. They have the shape of a large plate consisting of many small ones. They are located inside the housing at a short distance from each other. This makes it difficult to clean the dust trapped in between. Get rid of it using a long-bristled brush or a high-power vacuum cleaner.

Often dust mixes with condensate and forms a dirt film, from which parts can only be cleaned using steam. This procedure requires professional skills, so it is better to entrust its implementation to specialists.

How to disassemble an air conditioner for cleaning

Devices of different brands and models may differ in design. Before opening the air conditioner for cleaning, you must study its technical data sheet and operating instructions. In general, the step-by-step self-service algorithm looks like this:

1. The home air conditioner is disconnected from the network and the protective filter of the indoor unit is removed.
2. Remove the fan drum and the lower part of the housing.
3. Disconnect the power cord, drain pipe and wires.
4. Remove the housing of the internal electronic unit.
5. Dismantle the drainage device and outlet hose.

As you proceed, it is advisable to record and sketch the location of all elements of the split system. This will help you correctly reassemble the home device in the reverse order after cleaning it yourself.

Cleaning the rotary fan

The part is an oblong shaft with blades. Their contamination may block the fan operation. Clean the blades and shaft from dust and dirt using a warm soapy solution, a brush or a toothbrush. It is necessary to wipe the blades from dust and dirt with extreme caution. If they break, you will have to completely replace the fan.

Causes of pollution

There are many reasons why dirt accumulates in your air conditioner. Let's list the main ones:

1. A constantly running air conditioner becomes clogged with dirt from the air, which remains in the external and internal units of the device.
2. Moisture entering the air conditioner with air causes the development of pathogenic microorganisms, fungus and mold.
3. The location of the external unit close to the ground leads to clogging of the split system with street dust and exhaust gases.
4. In the hot season, poplar fluff contaminates the device and can cause it to break.
5. Dust, dirt, and moisture accumulated in the air conditioner cause various insects to appear in the device.

Device air filter is dirty

If you do not promptly clean the device from accumulated dirt, this will lead to the fact that the air conditioner will not only cool the air, but also clog it.

Cleaning the drainage system

Air conditioner drainage channels clogged with dirt and dust cause them to leak. Mold appears in the pipes of the devices and fungus begins to grow. First they fall on the drain pan, and then on the radiator. This affects the cleanliness of the air in the room in which the air conditioner is installed.

Clean the drainage channels using a dishwashing brush. After which it must be treated with steam. Some modern air conditioner models are equipped with an automatic system for cleaning drainage channels and air ionization.

When is cleaning needed?

We will not go to that extent, but we will thoroughly clean the air conditioner.
The dust that accumulates in your air conditioner can not only cause a deterioration in the quality of its operation, but also cause a breakdown. The following indicates that the split system needs cleaning:

• The microclimate in the room has deteriorated significantly - this will be especially noticeable by people suffering from dust allergies. This happens due to the fact that the system blows the dirt particles accumulated in it around the room.
• The device began to cool the air in the room much more slowly - due to the fact that dust enveloped the heat exchanger.
• It feels like it’s hard for the air conditioner to work - it can hum, squeak, and circulate air with a lot of noise.

The reason for poor performance is the accumulation of dust.
Untimely cleaning or lack thereof will lead to serious problems in the operation of the device:

• contamination of the internal module;
• reducing radiator airflow;
• difficult cleaning of heavily soiled filters;
• contamination of the drainage system, which inevitably results in freon leakage.

Advice! The filter can be washed no more than 8 times, after which it needs to be replaced! Exposure to water worsens the throughput of the element, which can lead to deterioration of the performance of the entire air conditioner as a whole.

This is what the fan looks like...

Cleaning the outer circuit

Cleaning the outer circuit

The most difficult procedure due to the inaccessibility of the outdoor unit. It is carried out 1-2 times a year using a powerful vacuum cleaner, which blows leaves and dust out of the equipment. When cleaning, be careful not to damage the electrical wiring of the unit. Dirt that cannot be vacuumed is cleaned with a medium bristle brush.

At the final stage of work, wipe the body of the external unit with a damp soft cloth. Severe stains are dealt with using steam cleaners. After finishing work, the air conditioner should not be turned on until it is completely dry.

Cleaning

First of all, we will look at the stages of cleaning a split system.

Step-by-step cleansing

Let's look at the table for step-by-step cleaning of the device - how to wash the air conditioner.

Cleaning the heat collector

Cleaning the filter clearly

The only necessary procedure that we do not advise you to do yourself, when you need to wash the air conditioner yourself, is washing the fan of the internal module - something like a roller with peculiar “membranes”. It is needed to ensure that cooled air is dispersed throughout the room.

If dust completely clogs its membranes, it simply won't be able to do its job and your air conditioner will become useless. The procedure for cleaning it is very specific for a non-professional, and if you do not have the proper skills, you can easily break the element.

Consider your own dust protection

But if you are confident in your abilities, then we offer you the simplest and most effective method of flushing a split system fan:

1. Protect the wall and floor near the fan from flying cleaning products with large polyethylene, old oilcloth or other waterproof material.
2. Disconnect the device from the network, open the air conditioner cover, remove all removable interfering elements.
3. How to rinse the air conditioner yourself? Dilute the soap solution and apply it with a sponge to the fan partitions. Leave them to “soak” for a while.
4. Connect the fan to a power source and turn on “light mode”. The air will pass through the fan partitions and blow away soaked scraps and pieces of dust and dirt.
5. After a few minutes, when everything possible has flown out, turn off the air conditioner again and unplug it from the outlet.
6. Time for mechanical cleaning with your own hands - use a brush or a small brush dipped in a soap solution to complete the work following air flows.
7. Wait until the fan dries, then reassemble the components in the reverse order, close the lid - the device can be used!

The video in this article will clearly demonstrate the process of cleaning the air conditioner.

Alternative cleaning

Time does not stand still, so we will introduce you to revolutionary new methods that tell you how to flush your home air conditioner:

• Foam-aerosol washing. Through a narrow tube, the product is poured into the system’s deflectors. Then 15 minutes are given to distribute it among the elements. Next, cold ventilation is turned on - the air conditioner operates in this way for up to 5 minutes. And then the “cond” is cleaned: the evaporator is washed, microorganisms are destroyed.
• Aerosol washing. The device is turned on at minimum speed, and the spray is sprayed specifically onto the “honeycombs” of the evaporator, smoothly and evenly. After you have sprayed all the products, you need to turn on the warm mode. So the split system should work for another 10 minutes. As a result, we get a thorough cleaning of the evaporator and air ducts, as well as their disinfection.
• Remedy from WYNN's (pictured). It is necessary to select a mode in which the fan operates at full power and the cooling system does not function. Then “pour” the substance into the ventilation hole, using the entire can. After 15 minutes, the air conditioner will be ready for normal operation.

Tips and operation

We will introduce you to a number of recommendations that will help keep your air conditioner in perfect condition for as long as possible:

• Cleaning is only half the guarantee of trouble-free operation of the air conditioner. It is also important to use it correctly and carefully - be sure to close the windows when the device is operating, give it time to “rest”, turn it on/off only using the remote control or special buttons on the case, and not by unplugging the cord from the socket.
• Before all cleaning procedures, be sure to turn off the device from the network!
• Clean the device with soft tools - brushes and brushes, soft cloth, napkin.
• To prevent mold and mildew from forming inside the device, it must be disinfected at least twice a year. For these purposes, a special liquid for washing air conditioners is produced. However, an equivalent replacement would be a regular antiseptic hand spray or another sprayable disinfectant solution containing alcohol. Ideally, you need to spray at least 500 ml of solution at a time. To do this, open the air conditioner cover, remove the protective grilles and filters. Turn on the device, selecting the maximum airflow, but the minimum temperature. Observe where the air is sucked in - the liquid should be sprayed into this area. Let the device work in this way for ten minutes. Don't worry if it smells bad during this time. Then turn off the air conditioner, wipe it with a soft cloth if necessary, return all the elements to their place and close the lid.
• It is better, as they say, “to see once than to hear a hundred times.” Invite specialists to work that you don’t understand. Observe their actions carefully and do not hesitate to ask questions. This is what will help you carry out subsequent cleanings yourself.

That's all we wanted to tell you about washing air conditioners. When developing a certain skill, this is a fairly simple procedure. However, in order to start it, you need to have a clear example of the correct actions before your eyes.

Air conditioner cleaning products

In addition to soap solutions, you can use various household chemicals to clean air conditioners. Along with removing contamination from device parts, they disinfect them.

Expert opinion

Starostin Konstantin Adreevich

Air conditioner installation and maintenance specialist

It is recommended to disinfect the air conditioner at least once every 6 months.

At home, to clean appliances use:

• to remove dust and dirt - surfactants;
• for disinfection - chlorine-alcohol, acid or alkaline agents.

They can have different shapes. Foam aerosol cleaners are very popular. They have a penetrating effect, soften dirt well and break down fats. Many products in this group have an extended nozzle designed for cleaning car air conditioners.

After their processing, a protective film is formed on the surface of the parts, which has the properties of an antiseptic that does not lose its properties for up to 3 months.

Deep disinfection of equipment is carried out using liquids with an alkaline composition. They come in plastic spray bottles. This type of product must be used to treat equipment that has been in storage for a long time. Can be used to clean air conditioners and medical antiseptics. The most popular of them are chloramine, lysoformine and chlorhexidine.

Stages of cleaning the indoor unit

If the climate system has just been purchased, installed and is constantly operating, preventive maintenance is carried out every 30 days. The main measures include washing the fan and filter mesh, as well as cleaning the evaporator, radiator and drainage system.

As noted above, the absence of such work leads to the accumulation of dust, excessive heating and increased noise of the device. Below we will look at how to prevent this.

Cleaning fans and filter screens

A mesh filter is mounted inside, which is easy to remove and inspect. To dismantle, you need to disconnect the equipment from the household network and remove the front cover by unscrewing the fixing screws.

Now all that remains is to remove the mesh from the air conditioner, soak it in a soapy solution or a special product, and then leave it for a while.

The next step is to flush the fan that moves cold air. During operation, a thick layer of dust, debris and grease accumulates on the blades of the product.

There are two types of fans: removable and non-removable. In the latter case, cleaning is done using a brush. This is not very convenient, but it allows you to remove excess dirt.

To prevent a removable fan, you need to immerse it in soapy water, hold it in it for some time, then remove it and return it to its place.

If there is an unpleasant odor, it is recommended to do additional work - disinfect the surface of the mesh and fan using a special product. The optimal frequency of the work discussed above is once every four weeks.

Questions and answers

How often should you clean the indoor unit of your air conditioner?

The frequency of cleaning the device depends on the intensity and conditions of its use. Most often this is once every 2-3 weeks.

Is it necessary to clean the air conditioner after winter if it was not used to heat the premises?

During non-working periods, insects may accumulate inside the device and enter it when cold weather sets in. Organic traces of their vital activity are nutritious soil for the development of various bacteria. Therefore, before the seasonal start-up, cleaning the air conditioner is mandatory.

What are the benefits of regular air conditioner cleaning?

Timely removal of dirt and dust from air conditioner parts prevents their premature failure and the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms in air conditioners.

Does the frequency of equipment cleaning depend on the floor where it is located?

It is recommended to clean the external unit of air conditioners located from the 1st to the 4th floor from dirt at least once every 3 months. The degree of their pollution is much greater than that of air conditioners on the upper floors, which can be cleaned once every 2 years.

Is it safe to clean air conditioners with chemicals?

Air conditioner cleaning products produced by manufacturers are safe for humans, but when working with concentrated solutions, precautions must be taken. It is better to work with them wearing rubber gloves.

Cleaning air conditioners is mandatory. Internal and external units of equipment are subjected to it. The regularity of the procedure depends on the operating conditions.

Recommendations for disassembling the air conditioner for proper cleaning

Removing the front panel from the device, by and large, is not so difficult - this can be done just by unscrewing a few bolts.

Next, you need to carefully pull the frame towards you - the air conditioner will open. After this, the sequence of procedures is as follows:

• release the blade from the blocks securing it;
• remove the lower segment from its fastenings;
• the wire, as well as the drainage hose for feeding the structure, are sequentially disconnected from the cooling system;
• gradual and careful disconnection from the electrical wiring.

To carry out the last procedure, it is necessary to study in detail the diagram sketched on the inner cover of the air conditioner. After this, you should disconnect the fastening brackets, remove the transformer, and only after that you can begin to dismantle the electronic unit. Next, you should move the latches and release the fan itself. The support bolts located on the air conditioner motor must be carefully unscrewed. The motor support is removed by lifting the radiator up. Only after this is the thermal lock removed.

If you do not know how to wash the air conditioner yourself, then it is better to use special cleaning products for this purpose, especially if the device is located near the kitchen, and residues of dirt, grease and other cooking products may settle on it. It is important to realize that the external unit of the device is also cleaned as it gets dirty. In order to avoid damage to the air conditioner filter, it is necessary to wash its outer part without using aggressive household chemicals. The cleaning device must be thoroughly dried before returning it to the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Under no circumstances should the device be turned on without a filter.

The procedure for assembling the device occurs in the reverse order. In principle, provided you carefully read the relevant instructions, there should not be any additional difficulties with the cleaning process. All actions must be carried out carefully, gradually - that is, so as not to harm the functionality and integrity of the structure in any way.

If the split system is located in a hard-to-reach area - for example, at a high altitude - then additional climbing equipment will be required for its effective cleaning. That is why this situation requires calling qualified specialists, in whose hands your air conditioner will again become as clean as possible and will be brought into adequate working condition.
