7.Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and clean if necessary.
NOTE - If insufficient heating or cooling occurs, the unit should be gauged and refrigerant charge should be checked.
Outdoor Coil
It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more frequently if it is exposed to substances which are corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
SOutdoor Coil door coil may be flushed with a water hose.
SOutdoor Coil (sea coast) air in ocean
locations can carry salt, which is corrosive to most metal. Units that are located near the ocean require frequent inspections and maintenance. These inspections will determine the necessary need to wash the unit including the outdoor coil. Consult your installing contractor for proper intervals/procedures for your geographic area or service contract.
Indoor Unit
