General Preventive Maintenance
Performance of the air cooled condenser coil
located inside of the condensing unit
compartment of your new unit depends primarily
on the amount of air passing through the
condenser fins.
1. Your case will run more efficiently, consume less
energy, and provide maximum trouble free service
throughout its lifetime if the condenser is kept clean
and an adequate supply of clean air is provided at all
times. Once a month, inspect the condenser coil and
check for blockage.
To access the condenser coil remove front panel.
If the condenser coil is dirty or blocked, disconnect the
power supply to your unit and remove the dirt from the
condenser fins. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush
attachment may help in the cleaning process. After
cleaning, restore electrical service to your unit.
2. Each unit has a drain tube located inside the condenser
compartment that removes the condensation from the
evaporator coil housing and routes it to an external
condensate pan. The drain tube can become loose or
disconnected during normal use. If you notice water
is collecting underneath the unit, be sure the drain tube
is connected to the evaporator drain pan and is
discharging water into the condenser drain pan.
