6. Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and
clean if necessary.
NOTE ‐ If insufficient cooling occurs, the unit should be
gauged and refrigerant charge should be checked.
Outdoor Coil
Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with a
water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.
NOTE — It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil
more frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may
contain high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
Sea Coast
— Moist air in ocean locations can carry salt,
which is corrosive to most metal. Units that are located
near the ocean require frequent inspections and
maintenance. These inspections will determine the
necessary need to wash the unit including the outdoor coil.
Consult your installing contractor for proper
intervals/procedures for your geographic area or service
contract.
Indoor Unit
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Lennox blower motors are prelubricated and
permanently sealed. No more lubrication is needed.
3. Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the
pressure drop over the coil to determine the correct
blower CFM. Refer to the unit information service
manual for pressure drop tables and procedure.
4.
Belt Drive Blowers -
Check belt for wear and proper
tension.
5. Check all wiring for loose connections.
6. Check for correct voltage at unit. (blower operating)
7. Check amp draw on blower motor.

Indoor Coil
1. Clean coil if necessary.
2. Check connecting lines, joints and coil for evidence of
oil leaks.
3. Check condensate line and clean if necessary.
HOMEOWNER
Cleaning of the outdoor unit's coil should be performed by
a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set
up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a
year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit. The
following maintenance may be performed by the
homeowner.
IMPORTANT
Sprinklers and soaker hoses should not be installed
where they could cause prolonged exposure to the
outdoor unit by treated water. Prolonged exposure of the
unit to treated water (i.e., sprinkler systems, soakers,
waste water, etc.) will corrode the surface of steel and
aluminum parts and diminish performance and longevity
of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
The outdoor unit must be properly maintained to ensure its
proper operation.
Please contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
Keep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and
periodically check for debris which collects around the
unit.
Routine Maintenance
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must be
properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.
1.
Air Filter —
Ask your Lennox dealer to show you
where your indoor unit's filter is located. It will be either
at the indoor unit (installed internal or external to the
cabinet) or behind a return air grille in the wall or
ceiling. Check the filter monthly and clean or replace
it as needed.
2.
Disposable Filter —
Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
NOTE
—
If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
3.
Reusable Filter —
Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
mild soap and water solution; rinse thoroughly; allow
filter to dry completely before returning it to the unit or
grille.
NOTE
—
The filter and all access panels must be in place
any time the unit is in operation.
4.
Indoor Unit —
The indoor unit's evaporator coil is
equipped with a drain pan to collect condensate
formed as your system removes humidity from the
inside air. Have your dealer show you the location of
the drain line and how to check for obstructions. (This
would also apply to an auxiliary drain, if installed.)
Thermostat Operation
See the thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
