Outdoor Coil, Indoor Coil, and Condensate Drain Pan
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain pan at least once each year.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the airflow through the condenser coil.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint, clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent and water solution. Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose. Be careful not to splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air filter(s). For best results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside the unit. On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain trough with clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring, or
air filter(s). If the drain trough is restricted, clear it with a “plumbers snake” or similar probe device.

!CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit components.
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of the unit.
1.Remove 6 screws holding condenser grille and motor to top cover.
2.Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to expose the fan blade.
3.Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4.If fan needs to be removed, loosen the setscrew and slide the fan off the motor shaft.
5.When replacing fan blade, position blade as shown in Fig. 16.
6.Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft when tightening
7.Replace grille.
Electrical Controls and Wiring
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit.
Remove access panels (see Fig. 17) to locate all the electrical controls and wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace the access panels (see Fig. 17). Start the unit, and observe at least one complete heating cycle and one complete cooling cycle to ensure proper operation. If discrepancies are observed in either or both operating cycles, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check
