1. Cleaning condenser coil.

An accumulation of dirt and dust

prevents the condenser coil from

removing, making your unit cool poorly,

run constantly, or even stop completely

if the compressor overheats. Clean coil

using a vacuum cleaner with a wand

attachment. If the coil is greasy, wash

it with warm soapy water and a bristle

brush, taking care not to drip water on

other parts of your unit.

2. Cleaning drain and drain pan.

Clean the drain using an oven baster to force a solution of hot water and baking soda or

bleach into the opening. To clear a stubborn clog, insert a length of 1/4" round plastic

tubing into the drain and push it through to the drain pan, then pull it out. Wash the

pan regularly with a solution of warm baking soda and water.

3. Checking the door seal.

Open the door and examine all four sides

of the door gasket for tears. Feel the

gasket for brittleness or cracks. If the

gasket shows damage replace it. If not,

close the door and check the seal between

gasket and cabinet for obvious gaps. Next

open the door and shut it on a dollar bill

slowly pull it out of the door. If the

gasket seals properly, you will feel

tension as it grips the bill. Repeat this

test all around the door. If the gasket

doesn't seal tightly, replace gasket after first checking the door for sagging,

warping.
