So you used tilex on the part of the window shaker that sits outside? I got a Frigidaire this summer and I think the inside part is good but would like to clean the backing that sees the elements

This is the worst way to clean your air conditioner… first blowing out the air filter dust back in the home and not outside. Second, Using air compressor to force dust back into the coils, and not removing it... I had to stop watching after this.

Tilex contains bleach = corrosion for the coils, any metal pretty. So use a different product, safe for the coils . The name is cordobium I think, look it up. Saw a guy in a different video using it.

Go to a beauty supply, get a big hair color brush, works great on the aluminum coils, also barbacide, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterials... Also get at a beauty supply

Why do you have distortion on your AC?

Will the water that pools after being used in spraying , dry , or is there a way to remove?

It how you clean the inside of the stair foam it get mold there two and that gets inside ur room

Awesome job. Thanks for makinh this video,cuz all the other 1s have ppl.taking the whole damn unit down & apart & scrubbing every inch in soapy water. I just can't do that,cuz I'm a petite woman & this big ass unit is installed on the 2nd story & in a cut out part of the wall in the loft of my she shed,so I ain't gonna try removing & carrying it down a ladder,by myself,lol..Wonder if i can use my steam cleaner & vinegar instead of the tilex..Got a few air compressors,but the smallest 1,will still be a pain 2 get up the steps & try hooking up then stretching the hose up to use on the unit on a 2-3 step ladder inside the loft...

Still using this badboy

You look funny

Please, how do you swivel the top hands? I'm trying to center my bass to where the three-point stand holds the weight of the guitar without falling over. Thank you.

The locking mechanism is crap. Drill a hole through the neck and install a steel pin. You can thank me later.

Single woman here. I'm on the second floor. I have almost exactly the same unit only 6,000 BTU. So if I unplugged my AC did the front, I have mildew in same kind of slats, also mildew front side way on back wall.. Then get my ladder out climb up with my hose and hose back of it. That would work. I don't have an air hose but could I use some hose water pressure for the back. Thank you so much for video. I have mold in a year old unit ! I had no idea I could spray all sorts of solutions way inside. I await your answer and any other suggestions.

bad

How do you clean the styrofoam inside the vent area?

Buen review 👍👍

No way. You should watch some videos on youtube about how to really clean a window A/C. some people take it all apart and by the looks of it, if you don’t take it apart you’re not going to get all the mold out of it. take it apart LOL

The front fan draws in air through the fins and expels it through the Adjustable louvers at the top of the unit. Blowing air in the front just blows the dirt deeper into the fins and cooling exchanger; not a good idea in my book, I vacuum mine out. In the rear of the Air conditioner the air is blown out the rear of the air conditioner, so water can be used to some effect to flush the heat exchanger by washing from the rear outside in. the dirt and grime will go out the drain hole in the bottom of the unit., however, we live in the country in farming area and I take the units outside and remove cover , then flush with water as there is a lot of water and crud.

One thing you failed to get to that always has mold growing on it...is the blower fan blades and Styrofoam walls around it. Pain in the butt to clean without removing unit from the wall.

How do you remove the front cover with ac still in window so I can clean inside the vent?

What happens if one of the blue fins are bent?

I spray my filter with cleaner then wash it out with the shower nozzle

Love it! Thanks 👍

Instead of Tilex to kill mold, I'm going to try this out using Concobrium. Let's see how that works.

Great video, and just throw that air filter in a sink of sudsy warm water, or at least spray with windex/counter top spray cleaner and RINSE OFF. Who wants all that gunk back in your air space? ;D

no go

Lol pull it out & use vinegar & water. It's the only way to clean the housing where the mold generally is.

Does anyone know how to remove the front so you can wipe down the inside? The fresh air vent seems to be the problem with me getting the front off and I can’t figure out how to get it off.

Hey I get I'm late to comment but is there any chance I can just hose the AC down with water? I don't have an air compressor

But how u clean the inside

What air compressor did you use?

But you just sprayed all the dust and pollen back into the room air and the air conditioner will just suck it out and be dirty again!

That distortion pedal 🤘🏼

Id like to add, if you do accidentally bend them, you can get combs specifically to comb them out. Fin combs

Yooo that thumbnail for this video is legendary!!!! Thanks.

Is it safe to spray things into the vent?? Is Lysol or Microban ok or just soap and water? I have a horrible odor in my bedroom right now. Please help. Thank you in advance.

When you say some units have a capacitor does that mean that turning off the unit and unplugging it is not enough to keep you safe when you clean the unit? I think most units have them don't they?

Oh, I did notice you had some bent fins. If you still have the unit you might want to straighten them.

I love that you made it look so easy. That's what I want! I do not have a compressor but have canned air. My question is: When I hose the back, it likely will not be totally dry nor will the front for that matter. Is it safe to start using it right away or do you have to wait until the unit is totally dry? I have seen it both ways on youtube.

Wron way extremely dangerous procedure

Just pull it every winter, open the unit up completely, clean it out with lightly soapy water, a hose and a brush. Then store it back in it's carton or cover with a garbage bag or something for the winter until it gets warm again. Comes out working as new every year.

Exactly what i needed just bought it and on startup had a mold smell

Very informative

So wait! What happens if those are bent?!

You didn't even clean the most crucial area 🤦‍♂️

Takes out air filter meant to help well...filter dust and stuff from the air........then blows dust right back into the air inside the home.......without a mask.......

Stupid lol. I was looking for a video of how to clean it without removing it. Wondering if I can hose it down while attached to the window, lol? The water will drain out the back right?

Jazzy music 🤣 Thanks for the information. 👍🏻

How you doing, man? You just fixed my stinky air conditioner lol.
