How to Clean Window AC (No Coil Cleaners)

How to clean a window air conditioner like a pro! A great thing to do if you air conditioner is not cooling like it used to. The hardest part about cleaning your AC is that you have to take it out of the window and bring it outside. All you need to clean it is just water. Any foam or liquid cleaners and soap are actually not necessary. Just a hose with water and a rag is all you need. You will probably spend more time taking it apart and putting it back together than actually cleaning the A/C. I hope your cleaning project will go smoothly for you though! Good luck.

No way, yesterday I was saying this was the last year for this window unit, and here you are today, Jay. 😁 Thanks Buddy!

[t-fuelernienotoriousmisfit]

Being myself an AC tech I service these almost on a daily basis. I never remove them from the wall and the costumer won't do it. Also, all I do is buy lysol Household foaming solution spray it on the coils spray water on the coils Wipe them down with a plastic brush and Walla.
However, great video, if you want to take it apart and clean it the right way.

Have cleaned hundreds of condenser units and quite a few furnace fan motor squirrel cage fans. Even had one fan motor blower fan so dirty with caked on dirt, and I didnt have a power washer handy, I took it off and took it to a self-serv car wash and used their power wash wand to clean it! LoL. True story. But have to admit, never have cleaned a window air conditioner. But in case i ever do, thanks for the tips Jay!

[sheilam]

Thank you for doing this. Great info and 'how to'. All of the basics can be applied to so many appliances; don't get the electronics wet, don't use chemicals and don't use a lot of pressure by hand or sprayer. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.

Very good '' How to '' vid Jay ... And the little girl that buried her flashlight, tells me she is full of compassion & doesn't attend school very much Aloha my friend

[kkovler]

You forgot to tell us about putting a few drops of oil on the fan motor shaft where it goes into motor. Even if there are no places to put oil in it helps keep the motor spinning freely. Done this on mine for years.

making it a seasonal ( the end of summer) event, and ready for next season !

If you want to be like my office lady cleaner who is always want to be looked like she is doing cleaning, but not actually cleaning up the office, then don't take your window air-conditioner down.

The pink tennis shoes look good on you.

If the unit is used in an environment that things like cooking fumes, hairspray or other sticky substances are present it may be necessary to use a cleaning product. I wouldn’t use anything stronger than an all purpose cleaner for the reasons you mentioned, definitely nothing with vinegar or things like an oven cleaner. It may be that it takes more time to soften the crud and hot water would definitely help.

Thank you, Jay for another great video, may God bless you🙇🙏

[kanive]

Would you use anything beyond water if there was mold in the vent area of the unit? can we use Dawn dish soap on it?

[mannyfilmsinc]

your videos are great... is it possible to put a wall thermostat to bypass the control board>?( my pcb board is no longer available).... thank you

[timrich]

I had no issue removing the foam housing. I also was above to remove the fans also

[jotnarymir]

Do those accordian side covers stop the cold air from leaving escaping the room or should you insulate them?

[mnew]

A great video as always!

I have some questions about heat pump systems, my current system is over 20 years old and still runs great. I heard that R410a system will be phased out next year. Just wondering if I need to upgrade my current system-R22 to R410a or wait for next year for new A2L system (R32 or R454b)?

Heard that the A2L system (heating and colling) will be more expensive than the current system (30%+)

Any feedbacks will be really appreciated!!

Hi! Could you please consider doing a video on how to clean a 12000btu Midea U shaped Window AC.

Pro tip for cleaning the inside blower wheel. Lysol

[alexandershilling]

I recommend using coil cleaner to clean a window, air conditioner or a mini split or a central air conditioner cooling system I do not agree on this topic
