Cleaning the Cooling Coil

Over time, dust and other debris tend to accumulate on the outside face of the cooling coil (Figure 77). This material reduces the efficiency of the coil and causes the cooling system to work harder than necessary. This, in turn, causes excess wear on the cooling system and can shorten its life.

Cleaning this coil every six months is usually sufficient to maintain the coil’s effectiveness, however, it may be necessary to reduce this interval in exceptionally dusty climates. With a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner, vacuum the accumulated dust and debris from the outside of the cooling coil.
