When using Daikin air conditioners, it is necessary to clean and maintain the air conditioner to avoid the condition that the air conditioner consumes electricity, noise, water flow, or mold growth. Today I would like to show you how to self-maintain Daikin air conditioners at home without necessarily calling an air conditioning repair center.
Daikin air conditioner maintenance steps:
Step 1: Remove the filter from the indoor unit
- Before doing any cleaning work on the air conditioner, you must turn off the power supply and circuit breaker. Then, disconnect the circuit breaker or unplug the power plug from the power source.
- Suppose the air conditioner frequently runs; should I clean the filter every two weeks? On the panel of the indoor unit (recording the wind), there is a button or lever to open the show. Remove the filter by pulling it down. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. If you wash it with water, you must dry the filter in the shade before reinstalling it.
- Attention: Filters that collect a lot of dirt will reduce the cooling capacity of the machine, increase power consumption, cause loud noises, and may even grow mold.
Step 2: Install and replace the air purifier
- An air filter is simply a filter for dust, while an air filter is a type of filter that filters out very fine impurities such as cigarette smoke, odors, and mold. Previously, it was primarily made of activated carbon, but many Daikin air conditioner models now use photocatalyst air purification as a deodorizing and bactericidal technology.
- The filter is not sold together with the machine but must be ordered separately every three months. What should replace it? They are small plates mounted on the filter, occupying only a tiny part of the filter, and are not capable of being regenerated or washed and reused as filters.
Step 3: Remove the plastic panel
- The panel can remove for cleaning.
- Use a high chair or ladder to remove it. However, be very careful not to fall when disassembling or reassembling, which should be careful to avoid breakage.
- Do not use hot water or volatile solutions such as gasoline, oil, polish, or rough brushes to clean the mask, because it may deform the plastic cover.
- You should use only water and a soft cloth for washing. After washing, let it dry in the shade.
- Do not spray yourself with water on the indoor unit because it may cause an electrical short. This requires a professional air conditioner maintenance technician.
- When installing and removing, it is necessary to attach the mask to the correct latches. There are types with four levers, two on two below, and types with five levers, three on two below.
Step 4: Clean the outdoor unit
- After many months of use, the outdoor unit also accumulates dust, decreasing the heat exchange capacity and wind flow in places that must clean dirt more often and in areas that can clean air less often. However, it must clean at least once a year.
- Use a high-pressure turbocharger pump (similar to a car or motorcycle washer) to spray the heat exchanger. Avoid spraying on the power source, too close or too strong to damage or flatten the heat exchanger
- After Daikin air conditioner maintenance is completed, it is necessary to restart the machine.
- Check the gas to see if it's enough or not. If it's lacking, you must top up the Daikin air conditioner gas and need a professional gas measuring tool (an experienced technician should do this).
- Before giving the machine a long period of inactivity (1–3 months), take note of the following:
- Before giving the machine a long break, it is necessary to:
- Please turn on the air conditioner and let it run in the mode (FAN MODE) for several hours until the indoor unit is completely dry and there is no more condensate in the trough.
- Clean the air filter and reinstall it.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control.
- Disconnect the circuit breaker, or unplug it because leaving the air conditioner plugged in still consumes some electricity.
