How to disassemble the air conditioner with your own hands to eliminate the unpleasant smell from the split system? To disassemble a wall-mounted air conditioner with your own hands, you must first familiarize yourself with some of the features of household air conditioners.

How to disassemble the air conditioner

One day, any user of a wall-mounted household air conditioner faces the following unpleasant problem: when the split system is turned on, a stream of cool air bursts out of its outlet, filled with a slightly sweet smell of already stagnant mold. This means that it is time for you to carry out maintenance of your air conditioner, that is, wash it thoroughly, and inside the system. There are two ways to solve this problem: the first is to call the wizard (however this way expensive), the second is an independent analysis of the split system and its subsequent cleaning on its own.

We suggest that you do everything yourself, because in this way you will be able to save a certain amount of money, moreover, this skill may come in handy in the future. We present to you detailed guide on disassembling the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which will help you solve the problem bad smell from a split system. The considered algorithm for disassembling the air conditioner is typical, so it is suitable for many brands of modern air conditioning devices. So, to disassemble the air conditioner yourself, you will need a few minus and plus screwdrivers. different diameter, as well as a set of hex sprockets (not for all models of split systems). If you already have such a simple arsenal, then you can start disassembling the indoor unit. Please note that in the process of cleaning the air conditioner, you do not have to remove the device from the wall, disconnect the copper line and drain the freon.

First of all, turn off the power to the air conditioner, then remove the protective filters from the indoor unit of the device. This process is described in detail in the standard service manual for your split system. Next, remove its front panel from the block, to do this, unscrew the two bolts that are closed with protective plugs, and then pull the frame towards you (it is held on top by two latches). The lid on the inside will be covered with mold and dust, so immediately send it to the sink. Next, remove the blade that directs the air flow, to do this, apply a little physical force and pull it out of the slots. Then remove the lower part of the air conditioner indoor unit from the latches, and then disconnect the split system drain hose and its supply wire.

Next, you need to disconnect all the wiring, while it is better to write down how the wires are located. If you are too lazy to write down, and besides, you can boast of your grandiose knowledge of radio engineering, then when you assemble the air conditioner back, you can use it electric circuit, which is located on inside front cover of the indoor unit.

Then wring out the mounting brackets, then remove the housing of the electronic unit and the transformer. Then you need to press the three support latches and carefully dismantle the drain and outlet hose. The hole for blowing air from the indoor unit, as well as the blades of the built-in fan, will be covered with a strong coating, which exudes an unpleasant odor. After that, unscrew the air conditioning motor support bolts, carefully lift the radiator, and remove the motor support. Then remove the blades, as well as the engine from the cell, and you can carefully lay the radiator back so that it does not suddenly fall.

Then remove the heat lock that is on the electric motor pulley mounting bolt. Be aware that this is not easy to do. To prevent the rubber element that transmits energy from accidentally burning out, you need to gently heat the bolt head with a thin soldering iron, while periodically trying to unscrew it. When you manage to separate the blade from the motor, send all contaminated elements of the system to the sink. To wash all parts, you will need a bottle detergent, a brush with rather long bristles, as well as a lot of water. The assembly of the air conditioner is carried out in the reverse order.

You can see for yourself that the design of the indoor unit wall split system not very complicated. Therefore, in order not to spend extra money, you can clean the device yourself, besides, you now know how to disassemble the air conditioner with your own hands.

Air has a distributed refrigerant transportation scheme between the outdoor and indoor units. Such a device has many advantages, except for one - dismantling the system is much more difficult than a monoblock. And often ignorance of how to remove the air conditioner leads to its failure.

How to properly remove the air conditioner

There are three mandatory conditions to remove the air conditioner yourself:

• The outdoor unit must be within reach. If he stands on the facade apartment building above the level of the second floor, then it can only be dismantled from a window or from a balcony. Otherwise, you need to involve industrial mountaineering specialists.
• To remove heavy blocks from the wall and properly turn off the compressor, at least one assistant is needed.
• It is necessary to rent a manometric station specifically for the type of freon that is pumped into this model of air conditioner.

Note. The last point concerns stations with conventional (pointer) pressure gauges. Digital manifolds are configured for the brand of refrigerant.

Precautions

If the air conditioner is out of order and cannot be repaired, then it is easy to remove it - there is no need to store freon, the tightness of the compressor, condenser and evaporator is not important.

You cannot do this with a working air conditioner. And in this case, the main thing is that dust and even air do not get inside the system. Otherwise, we can talk about the guaranteed output of the compressor after installation and start-up of the air conditioner in a new place. The reason is a feature of the device vacuum pump.

Freon is extremely fluid, and the temperature difference at the inlet and outlet reaches several tens of degrees. No seals and rings used in conventional pumps and compressors will withstand such operating conditions. The required tightness is achieved by extremely precise adjustment of the surface of the moving elements of the pump to the internal geometry of the chambers. The slightest scratch from a solid particle leads to compressor failure. And such a particle can be a grain of ice formed when moisture freezes in the air that has got inside.

That is why new air conditioners are sold filled with inert gas, which is pumped out with a vacuum pump before freon is pumped.

When the air conditioner is removed on its own, freon must be pumped out, and the blocks must be disconnected. This must be done so that dust does not get inside the system along with air. That is to create a vacuum there. And it is desirable to keep the freon completely (or most of it), so that it would be easier to bring the system into working condition at a new place.

Preparation

To properly remove the air conditioner, all professional equipment needs is a manometric station, which can be rented.

Every home master has the rest of the tools:

• a set of wrenches and hex keys;
• screwdrivers;
• pipe cutter or side cutter;
• manual metalwork vice;
• pliers.

Freon descent

There are two ways to dismantle a working air conditioner:

1. The use of a manometric station to collect freon in the outdoor unit.
2. Using a freon pumping and collection station connected to a special two-valve cylinder. The station has its own gauge manifold and a compressor for pumping out refrigerant in liquid or gaseous state.

The first method is more “affordable”, but it can only be used when starting the air conditioner - freon is transported using a regular compressor.

The second way is universal. It can be used even in winter when the air conditioner cannot be turned on due to the low temperature outside. The advantage of this method is also that the external unit will be evacuated - without freon in the condenser. Which is much safer when transported to a new location. But renting such a station and a cylinder will cost more than a conventional manometric manifold.

Freon collection in the outdoor unit

On the side of the body of the outdoor unit there are two fittings from which the pipes extend:

• thin - for transporting liquid freon from the condenser to the evaporator;
• thick - for pumping gaseous freon into the condenser.

Both fittings have shut-off valve heads under the caps. A branch with a nipple departs from the gas head.

The collection of freon in the condenser takes place in the following order:

1. Remove protective covers from fittings and nipple.
2. A collector is connected to the nipple.
3. Turn on the air conditioner to the maximum "cold".
4. After a few minutes, the liquid fitting valve is closed, stopping the supply of freon to the evaporator.
5. The pressure is controlled by the manometer.
6. When the arrow shows “-1 MPa”, tighten the gas fitting valve with a hexagon and immediately turn off the air conditioner (which is why an assistant is needed) - with a long idle, the compressor pump may fail.

The pressure gauge reading “-1 MPa” means that all the freon is in the condenser, and inside the evaporator, in the tubes and in the compressor there is a technical vacuum.

After that, you can separate the blocks.

Removing the air conditioner step by step

Dismantling while maintaining the operability of the dismantled air conditioner is as follows:

• sealing of fittings of pipelines;
• shutdown and dismantling from the facade outdoor unit;
• dismantling of the indoor unit in the apartment.

Below are the instructions for dismantling wall air conditioner.

outdoor unit

To remove the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, first disconnect the pipes.

There are two ways:

• Unscrew union nuts, which press the flared edges of the tubes to the flanges of the fittings of the outdoor unit. And in place of the nuts, pre-prepared covers are screwed on. Dignity - the tubes remain intact. The disadvantage is the high risk of air entering the compressor.
• Cut with side cutters copper tubes(from the fitting about 15 cm). Bend the edges and clamp (coin) with a vise. The disadvantage is that the tubes in the new place must be put in new ones. Advantage - the operation is fast and the probability of dust getting inside with air is much lower.

Note. The other cut end of the tube must also be minted to protect the evaporator of the indoor unit.

The next step is to disconnect the cables (signal and power), remove the fasteners of the unit to the frame on outer wall and lift him into the room.

Compressor

One of the situations when it is necessary to remove the outdoor unit may be to replace the air conditioning compressor. And in this case, the dismantling algorithm is slightly different. The differences are:

• Freon must be completely removed from the system. The right way- collect it in a cylinder using a freon pumping station. Wrong, but simple - to lower it into the atmosphere (if the compressor is replaced in the warm season and the air temperature is higher than the boiling point of freon at normal pressure).
• There is no need to caulk the tubes - after installing a new compressor, the system is “pumped out” by an external vacuum pump.

It is impossible for a non-specialist to replace the air conditioning compressor on their own. In addition to the vacuum pump and gauge station, you must have gas burner to disconnect the suction and discharge pipes of the old compressor from the system, and then solder the new unit to the system. And even if you rent equipment, you need to have the skills to handle it.

You can remove the block yourself, but it is better to invite a professional to replace the compressor.

indoor unit

Most household split systems have a wall indoor unit(although there are other accommodation options). But with the exception duct air conditioner, other types are dismantled according to the general principle.

To remove the indoor wall unit, proceed as follows:

• remove the housing cover;
• disconnect cables and wires;
• cut and minted copper tubes that go to the evaporator of the indoor unit;
• pruned drainage pipe, drain the condensate;
• "snap off" the latches securing the housing to the mounting plate;
• remove the block and unscrew the plate from the wall.

Dismantling in winter

The air conditioner can work in winter time. And not only as a heater, but also in cooling mode (for example, in rooms where servers are located).

Note. It is possible to collect freon in the condenser of the outdoor unit only when operating in cooling mode - in heating mode it already works as an evaporator.

The peculiarity of working in winter in this mode is that there is a lower temperature limit, which is affected by the type of refrigerant, the type of air conditioner and additional equipment. This dependence is also associated with the characteristics of the compressor device - it is oily, and the oil thickens when low temperatures. For conventional air conditioners, the lower working temperature lies in the range from + 5 ° C to -5 ° C, for inverter - up to "minus" 15-25 ° C.

Before dismantling the split system, these nuances must be taken into account. And if the temperature is below the specified limit, and the air conditioner is not equipped with a “winter kit” with compressor crankcase heating, then to remove the outdoor unit, you must use a freon pumping and collection station (it has an oil-free compressor).

For efficient and safe work The air conditioner requires regular cleaning of the internal elements of the system, and in addition to the external one, it is imperative to disassemble and clean the indoor unit. Most often, in offices, apartments and private houses, wall-mounted SPLIT devices are installed, presented by different manufacturers and modifications. Considering the demand and popularity of climate technology, many people will probably be interested in learning how to disassemble the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner in order to be able to do it themselves.

Design features of the indoor unit

Wall-mounted split systems by LG and others, which include Daikin, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Ballu, Samsung and Hitachi, have a similar design of the indoor module. Thanks to this, if you know basic principles disassembling the air conditioner, each owner can easily cope with such a task on his own, only for this it is necessary to designate the main components and parts that make up such a unit:

Standard design of wall mounted air conditioner

1. Front (front) panel
2. Coarse filter
3. Fine filter
4. Fan
5. Evaporator
6. Horizontal blinds
7. Display panel
8. Vertical blinds

You need to understand that proper disassembly consists in following a certain sequence of actions that allow you to gradually get to those elements that need to be cleaned. Only careful dismantling can eliminate the risk of breakage of internal components and modules, so you should act carefully, without applying excessive physical effort. Of the tools, several curly (phillips) and straight (flat) screwdrivers are needed different size, as well as several hex stars.

Before dismantling, make sure that the air conditioner is turned off from the mains! This is very important to avoid electric shock.

Dismantling the indoor unit of the wall-mounted air conditioner

They begin to disassemble the air conditioner by removing the front plastic panel, which can be attached with clip-on elements (LG) or bolts (Toshiba), depending on the manufacturer. In the first case, you need to use a straight screwdriver and pry off the clips located above and below, and in the second, use the appropriate tool. The next step is to remove the strainer (coarse) and plastic blinds from the indoor unit, which are simply removed from the corresponding slots.

Strainer that needs to be cleaned

Next, carefully dismantle drainage system the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which is usually made in the form of a tray. In some models, it can be made integral with the body and removed only with it. Before removing it, prepare a container or container in advance to remove condensation formation. To detach the tray in LG models, you need to unscrew one bolt and snap off the clips located at the bottom.

Drain tray (on the right side detaches from the louver motor)

Fan/impeller removal options

Next, you need to remove the fan of the indoor unit of the SPLIT system, made in the form of a shaft. This will require very careful and responsible work, since it is important not to damage the internal components and components of the air conditioner.

Removing the strainer

There are two ways to pull out the shaft:

1. A simplified version, in which it is not necessary to perform operations with the electric motor and control unit (the shaft is pulled out from below). Usually it is he who is chosen when doing the work with his own hands, which requires less time and effort. Here the sequence of operations is as follows:

• We unscrew the bolts / screws and release the radiator on the left side of the main main body of the SPLIT system
• Gently loosen the fastener on the right, where you need to carefully unscrew the screw on the shaft itself (as a rule, it is tightened very tightly, so you need to act carefully and slowly so as not to twist the fastener head)

• Carefully remove the shaft component from the housing, and from under the bottom, making sure not to damage the blades (holding the screw with a screwdriver)

Important! In the reverse assembly (mounting) sequence, the fan mounting screw must be in the position where it was originally, since otherwise there is a high risk of contact between the fan blades and the walls of the indoor unit.

1. More difficult option when the shaft is dismantled from the right side, for which the control unit and the electric motor are removed. To perform the operation, proceed as follows:

• We disconnect the wiring and electronic type sensors from the control unit, snap off the fastening clips (in some models we unscrew the fastening screws) and carefully remove the unit
• We unscrew the fastening elements of the electric motor, disconnect the shaft from the casing
• Very carefully and carefully, with slow movements, disconnect the shaft from the motor, and also bend the radiator tubes

When performing work, it is important to remember all the manipulations in order to assemble everything correctly after performing the service of the SPLIT installation.

What needs cleaning?

After performing these manipulations, you can start cleaning the internal components, and here it is mandatory to remove dirt deposits from the rotor and evaporator, using antibacterial compounds (active foam) for this, clean water and steam (steam generator tool). The condensate receiving bath is also cleaned of dirt, after which all parts are thoroughly dried. In addition, it will not be superfluous to lubricate all moving parts with silicone grease, which will extend their service life.

To disassemble the indoor unit of the air conditioner, you need to be patient, act carefully and slowly. It is always important to remember that the SPLIT system has a complex structure, where all the internal components are very close to each other. This instruction gives a sequence of actions that are performed regardless of design features wall-mounted climate control equipment.

Air conditioner cleaning should not be limited to the care of external elements. Dust penetrates everywhere, accumulates and interferes with the normal operation of mechanisms. You can invite the master from service center For Maintenance, but many craftsmen cope with this task on their own.

In order to perform all maintenance work on your own, you need to know the structure of the indoor unit of the split system. We will tell you everything about the design of climate technology. We will give recommendations according to which it was possible to safely disassemble the unit, clean it and assemble it again.

Although the device specific models from different manufacturers different, circuit diagram, according to which such climatic equipment is assembled, has common basic elements.

The indoor unit of a modern split system consists of:

• front panel;
• filter elements;
• fan and evaporator;
• engine;
• blinds;
• drainage systems;
• display panel, etc.

To properly disassemble the device, you need to carefully disconnect individual elements in the correct sequence. First, you should carefully study all the accompanying documents received when purchasing the device.

The principal device of the indoor unit: 1- front panel; 2,3 - filters; 4 - fan; 5 - evaporator; 6 - blinds; 7 - panel with indicators; 8 - vertical blinds

They can find a lot of useful information on how to disassemble the indoor unit of this split system for execution. If for some reason the documentation is missing, it makes sense to look for the necessary information on the Internet.

The mesh filter, designed for primary purification of the air entering the indoor unit, must be regularly cleaned of contaminants with a detergent

General order of work

First you need to prepare for disassembling the indoor unit: disconnect the device from the network, prepare necessary tools and materials. You will need different screwdrivers, hexagons, rags, a container to drain condensate, a stepladder, etc.

Large air flows constantly pass through the indoor unit of the air conditioner, dust particles remain inside. It is necessary to periodically remove this debris in order for the device to work correctly.

Different manufacturers use Various types fasteners: bolts, latches, clips, etc. Particular care should be taken when working with plastic fasteners. Excessive force will break the element. Instead of cleaning the device, it will need to be repaired.

First, remove the front panel of the indoor unit. You will have to unscrew the bolts or disconnect the clips, they can be carefully pry off with a straight screwdriver.

After that, the mesh filter and blinds are removed from the housing. Usually these elements, which need to be cleaned quite often, are simply inserted into the housing. Manufacturers provide for the possibility of their easy dismantling.

It is important to consider which side the condensate drain pipe is connected to. When connected to the left for some Panasonic air conditioners, this tube will have to be disconnected to remove the condensate collector

Now you need to find and disconnect the drainage tray, if possible. Sometimes it is built into the case. At this stage, you will need a container for the accumulated liquid, as well as rags, in case the water spills. In LG air conditioners, such an element is usually fixed on one bolt, clips are located below, they must be snapped off.

Then the impeller shaft should be removed. A lot of dust usually accumulates in its grooves. This element is usually taken out from below or from the side. If the design allows, it is preferable to use the first option, it is simpler.

They do it like this:

1. Disconnect the radiator mounts located on the left side of the case.
2. Loosen the fixing screw of the impeller on the right.
3. Gently lower the shaft down, holding the loosened bolt with a screwdriver so as not to touch the blades.

All operations must be performed slowly and carefully. The screw that holds the impeller is very tight. It must be unscrewed so as not to damage the thread. You should not unscrew it all the way, as it can be difficult to put it back in exactly the same position.

If it is not possible to remove the shaft from below, you need to use a more complex option:

1. Disconnect wiring from control box.
2. Remove the fasteners and disconnect the unit from the split system.
3. Remove the motor mounts, remove the casing from the shaft.
4. Separate the shaft and the engine by bending the radiator tubes.
5. Remove the impeller and clean all the elements.

When reassembling the device after, it is very important to correctly connect all the elements. The blades of rotating parts must not touch the walls of the housing or other components of the device.

Attention will also be needed when connecting the wiring. It is better for inexperienced craftsmen to first draw a diagram or photograph the wires so as not to confuse anything during their connection.

Disassembly on the example of a Panasonic air conditioner

Even such a high-quality device with good filters not protected from dust ingress into the case. The space between the turbine fins here turned out to be very small. Dust accumulates in these narrow gaps, which you cannot take with a standard vacuum cleaner.

Panasonic has the ability to remove the turbine for cleaning without any problems. Although this is not as simple a procedure as when processing filters. You don’t have to remove the case from the wall; all operations can be performed while standing on a stepladder.

The electronic control unit with indication and other elements of this type are on the right from the point of view of the master, who stands directly in front of the device. You need to start by detaching the case. It has screws on the sides at the bottom and latches on top.

First you need to unscrew the screws. They are on the sides and hidden by neat decorative caps. To find them, the movable part of the body will have to be lifted. The plugs are pry off with a straight screwdriver, then the fasteners are unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver.

In order to disassemble the air conditioner, you need to unscrew the screw, disconnect the condensate collector, then unscrew the screw holding the heat exchanger, then loosen, but do not remove the hidden turbine screw. At the end, you need to lift the heat exchanger and pull out the turbine

Now the case needs to be lifted with a gentle movement from the bottom up to detach it. A click is possible because it is held in place by three plastic hook-shaped latches. Now you can remove another part of the housing, which consists of a cover, motor and condensate trap.

This block is mounted in grooves located deep enough in the body, but can be easily removed. You need to carefully pull it down with moderate force. If the entire block does not immediately separate, you can first release the mount on the left, and then on the right.

At this stage, you need to pay attention to the position of the hose through which the condensate is discharged. If it interferes (this happens when connected on the left side), then it must first be disconnected from the condensate collector.

The moisture container is not completely separated from the body, since it is additionally connected to it by a pair thin wires. You need to take care of the stand for this part of the air conditioner in advance or hang it on a cord, rope, etc.

Under the weight of the condensate trap, the wiring may break. As previously mentioned, accumulated condensate may spill out at this stage. Moisture is best poured into suitable capacity. It is very likely that some of the water will spill, so it is best to keep a rag handy.

You will learn about what should be done if the climatic equipment constantly flows into the room it processes, which we strongly recommend reading.

The removed condensate collector will provide access to the technical stuffing of the unit: on the left, the head of the screw fixing the heat exchanger and the turbine rubber bearing will become visible. The screw must be unscrewed, but the bearing should not be touched, it must remain in the grooves that hold it.

If the split system long time not cleaned, on her internal elements dust accumulates, and mold appears, which is dangerous to the health of residents

Now you need to rotate the turbine with your hands to find on it right side the place where it is fixed with a screw on the motor shaft. One lamella is missing here. The screw is sunk deep. It needs to be unscrewed, but it should not be removed to facilitate reassembly. Then lift the heat exchanger with moderate force.

It is attached to the latches, you should hear a click. Here you need to be careful not to cut yourself, the edges of some parts are quite sharp. When the heat exchanger comes out of the latches and is raised, a vertical gap will appear through which it will be possible to carefully remove the turbine, having previously removed the bearing.

A few words about cleaning

They act simultaneously: the available space is treated with a brush, and the edge of the hose of the switched-on vacuum cleaner is kept nearby to immediately remove the debris. Some treat the inside of the unit with dry steam if they have access to a steam generator.

A cleaning agent can then be used, for example in the form of an aerosol. He is kept for some time, you need to act according to the instructions. Then the surface is treated with clean water using a brush or spray gun to remove the cleaning agent that has dissolved the dirt. You will need a container to collect the flowing water.

Now you need to wash the turbine, filters and other elements, dry them. This can be done with common home remedies, but there are handy kits on the market designed for this purpose. Then the device is reassembled. All fasteners must be installed in place and carefully tightened or latched.

Special funds, designed for cleaning climate equipment, are able to effectively dissolve accumulated contaminants. After the prescribed time, the composition should be carefully washed off.

The parts removed from the device can be washed hot water, brush. Exists household chemicals specially designed for this technique. But also the usual laundry soap will give a good result. Of course, you need to protect the parts from damage.

For example, hard bristles can seriously damage the strainer. A lot of dust accumulates on the impeller, you need to process each groove. All filter elements are thoroughly washed. Dry them before installation.

The surface of the evaporator and rotor, as well as the condensate tank, are especially carefully treated. It does not hurt to check the condition of the tube through which moisture escapes. If you clean it with a piece of hard cable, you can find serious contamination there. They are simply pushed out, and the tube is washed.

A special kit for cleaning air conditioners consists of a large plastic bag convenient size and a set of devices that give it the desired position

Some craftsmen decided to abandon the disassembly of the indoor unit. They remove only the front cover, the filter, and then cover the wall with polyethylene and wash the indoor unit with a thin stream of water under high pressure. Is not The best decision, since it is possible to break the air conditioner and damage the decorative finish.

If the cleaning measures did not give the expected result, the full working capacity of the split system has not been restored, you will have to. You will find a repair guide in our recommended article.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

How to disassemble the indoor unit:

To perform such a disassembly, you need attention, time and patience. The procedure does not require complex tools or special skills. But an inattentive attitude during work is unacceptable, since this can completely ruin the split system.

Do you want to talk about how you cleaned the internal component of the climate unit with my own hands? have useful information that will be useful to site visitors? Please leave comments in the block below, ask questions, publish photos on the topic of the article.

Service of the internal block of the conditioner...

Hi all! At the request of my friends and accomplices in general, I want to write a post about the maintenance of air conditioners, because this is already relevant at the moment (I hope the moderators will be understanding)! The fact is that consumers are often misled by offering them air conditioning service ANNUALLY!!! This is not necessary, because everything depends on the degree of contamination of the room where the air conditioner is located!
How to understand that cleaning is already inevitable? Let's look at the process of cleaning the indoor unit, perhaps you yourself are able to perform this operation:
So we have a regular internal block:

Below, in order not to mess up the repair, we glue the film onto ordinary masking tape:

Open the lid, remove mesh filters and rinse them under running water (this can be done at any frequency, but at least once every 2 months!)

Now filming in full upper part body, complete with cover...

We unfasten the bath (through it the condensate enters the street) ...

and then enjoy the terrible spectacle! Here we can already understand what we breathe including a clogged air conditioner ...

So we got to the main point that I wanted to tell you about! WITHOUT DISASSEMBLY OF THE AIR CONDITIONER, you can see the degree of its contamination and independently draw a conclusion ... but is it necessary to clean it?
Pay attention ... The fan impeller, which we need to clean!!!

We remove the impeller (if possible), wash it with a jet of water and a brush, and clean the radiator with a steam generator ... Voilà:

Then proceed to the assembly of the indoor unit, in reverse order! But those same mesh filters ...

We fasten the lid, put the nets ...

Close the lid of the indoor unit...

We turn on 22-25 degrees on the remote control (do not turn on the minimum ... never in the heat, not a single condo will give you 16-17 degrees !!! You will stupidly kill it!) and enjoy the coolness!

... I will talk about the outdoor unit later! I inform you that I have been engaged in air conditioning and ventilation since 2000 and I am ready to help with advice, and indeed in this area!!! So ask! I will answer later, in the evening I will answer everyone, because now there is a lot of work .. I am running away) Have a good day everyone!

How to remove the air conditioner from the wall with your own hands
