Imagine it’s the middle of July, and you hear a drip, drip, drip…is it a leaky faucet, raindrops hitting the window, or a flock of geese flying over? None of the above, (we hope). It’s actually the sweat dripping from your brow as you endure yet another unbearably hot summer day!
Why don’t you turn on your window air conditioner? You’ve already tried that, but the room doesn't seem to be getting any cooler. As you wander over to see what’s wrong, you suddenly cringe as you remember the advice you got from RepairClinic.com back in May…and how you procrastinated on those air conditioner maintenance suggestions — oops!
Okay, it’s May -- here’s that advice: If you don’t want this story to be about YOU, try these window air conditioner maintenance tips:
1.
To clean the condensing coils, remove the entire cover (watch for wasp nests) of the air conditioner to gain access to the coils, being extra careful not to bend or break any refrigerant lines; then, clean them by blowing compressed air at them or by using a soft bristle brush to brush the dirt away.
2.
Clean any dirt or lint build-up in the bottom of the air conditioner so the condensed water will be picked up by the condensing fan slinger properly.
4.
Check the aluminum fins on the rear of the unit – they can get bent and crushed when objects touch them, reducing the efficiency of the unit. RepairClinic.com can supply a handy fin-straightening comb.
Get started on maintenance before summer hits. You don’t want to be stuck without an air conditioner when you need it the most! If your unit is already in need of repair, go to our website for information and parts to help you fix it yourself.
