ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect and install lockout tag on electrical power to the
unit before cleaning and lubricating the blower motor and
wheel.
! WARNING
To clean the blower motor and wheel:
1. Remove and disassemble blower assembly as follows:
a. Remove blower access panel (see Fig. 20).
b. Disconnect 5 pin plug and 4 pin plug from indoor
blower motor. Remove capacitor if required.
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. Reinstall blower into unit. Reinstall capacitor if
required.
f. Connect 5 pin plug and 4 pin plug to indoor blower
motor.
g. Reinstall blower access panel (see Fig. 20).
3. Restore electrical power to unit. Start unit and check for
proper blower rotation and motor speeds during cooling
cycles.
Step 2 — 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 inner condenser coil, be sure to clean
between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit
base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting
the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain trough with
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring, or
air filter(s). If the drain trough is restricted, clear it with a plumbers
snake or similar probe device.
Step 3 — Outdoor Fan
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure
proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of the
unit. Damage to unit may result.
1. Remove 6 screws holding outdoor grille and motor to top
cover.
2. Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to
expose fan blade.
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen setscrew and slide fan off
motor shaft.
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade back to same posi-
tion as before.
6. Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening.
7. Replace grille.
