Cleaning the Condenser Coil
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can
initially cause high temperatures and excessive
run times. Continuous operation with dirty or
clogged condenser coils can result in compres-
sor failure. Neglecting the condenser coil
cleaning procedures will void all warranties and
repair or replacement costs associated with the
compressor.
CAUTION: To clean the condenser, never

Figure 3
Location of Condensing Coil
The condenser coil is located and accessed
from the front of the unit, (Figure 3). A vent
cover protects the condenser from damage.
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning
and should be done every 60 days. However, if
large amounts of dust and grease accumulate
sooner, clean the condenser coil every 30 days.
For light dust, use a soft, non-wire brush. For
heavier dust, use a vacuum or blow with
compressed air.
For heavy grease, use a degreasing agent
made specifically for condenser coils on
refrigeration units. Spray the degreasing agent
on the coil and then blow with compressed air.
Never wash with high-pressure water, which
can damage the electrical components located
at or near the condenser coil.
