Disconnect and tag electrical power to the unit before cleaning
and lubricating the blower motor and wheel.
To clean the blower motor and wheel:
1. Remove and disassemble blower assembly as follows:
a. Remove unit access panel.
b. Disconnect motor lead from time delay relay (TDR).
Disconnect yellow lead from terminal L2 of the contactor.
c. On all units remove blower assembly from unit. Remove
screws securing blower to blower partition and slide
assembly out. Be careful not to tear insulation in blower
compartment.
d. Ensure proper reassembly by marking blower wheel and
motor in relation to blower housing before disassembly.
e. Loosen setscrew(s) that secures wheel to motor shaft,
remove screws that secure motor mount brackets to
housing, and slide motor and motor mount out of
housing.
2. Remove and clean blower wheel as follows:
a. Ensure proper reassembly by marking wheel orientation.
b. Lift wheel from housing. When handling and/or cleaning
blower wheel, be sure not to disturb balance weights
(clips) on blower wheel vanes.
c. Remove caked- -on dirt from wheel and housing with a
brush. Remove lint and/or dirt accumulations from wheel
and housing with vacuum cleaner, using soft brush
attachment. Remove grease and oil with mild solvent.
d. Reassemble wheel into housing.
e. Reassemble motor into housing. Be sure setscrews are
tightened on motor shaft flats and not on round part of
shaft.
f. Reinstall unit access panel.
3. Restore electrical power to unit. Start unit and check for
proper blower rotation and motor speeds during cooling
cycles.
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
