Getting Your Air Conditioner Ready for Summer
By Coast Wholesale Appliances
Here are some common checks to do before calling for service.
Unit Won't Start: Plug something else into the electrical outlet to be sure that electrical contact is being made.
Won't Cool: Is the air exchanger closed? Is the filter clean? Is the external cover off? Check cold control setting. Check selector setting (fan speed). Is the air intake blocked (e.g. couch in front of unit)?
Blow Fuses or Breakers: Check that nothing else is on the same circuit. Is the filer clean? Is the external cover off? Are fuses/breakers the proper size? If unit is turned off and on, allow 5 minutes between operation.
Evaporator Ices Up: Is the filter dirty? Is the blower wheel dirty?
Cleaning Unit: Clean the dust from the front grill each week with a soft, damp cloth & mild detergent. Clean the filter every 2 weeks.
Note: For your safety, remember to turn the unit off and unplug it from the wall before removing front cover and never operate unit without a filter.
