If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. Ifs you decide to go ahead, follow these steps:
1l REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the motor, electrical control box and electrical terminals box in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious trouble.
2. Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year or more often if the condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor from the air conditioner. While the cabinet is open, this is a good time to oil the fan motor.
3l Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.
4 . Replace unit in cabinet.
NOTE: It’s a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This aliows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.
