It is important to not let too much water get into where the cold air blows out as it may blow water out, if water gets in, a towel may be stuck in to dry some of the water up. Please let us know if this video on how to clean a ac unit, or how to clean a air conditioner video diy helped you to clean your air conditioner and to help the air to blow colder.
Please tell me if I helped you to learn how to clean an air conditioner and do servicing AC cleaning at home and to remove bad smell for air conditioner. I am using frost king in the above video. It is actually a ac unit kit sometimes as there may be a cap sometimes and as the cap can be used toclean a dirty ac unit as well. It helps to

Frost King ACF19 Foam Coil Cleaner, can be used for the outside coils
Frost King Air Conditioner Foaming Cleaner keeps your home cooler and more comfortable when the mercury rises. It is a heavy-duty detergent-based product for maximum cleaning power. for a window unit and other type of ac units including central air. Your air conditioner will look and perform its best when you use it. Frost King air conditioner coil cleaner can also be used for car radiators, lawnmower engines, refrigerators and freezer coils and more. It easily removes pollutants like dirt, grease, and oil. This no-rinse foaming coil cleaner comes in a 19 oz aerosol can with a special 360-degree valve that allows spraying in virtually any position.
An heavy duty foam detergent coil cleaner in the convenience of an aerosol can. For use on most coils such as window air conditioners, central HVAC units, auto radiators, condenser and evaporator coils, metal filters, fan blades and more. Water based. This product can be sprayed in any position while the blasting stream easily reaches into tight areas. The aggressive detergent quickly and easily liquefies dirt, grease, oil or other residue and deposits. The clinging foam is completely self-rinsing on condensate producing coils. Simply spray on and condensation generated will wash away the material. Cleaning coils increases efficiency and saves money. Directions: Turn off or disconnect power to unit being serviced. Shake well. Remove cap and point toward surface to be cleaned. Thoroughly saturate the targeted area with product. With this self-rinsing formula, the foam will break and condensation accumulation will rinse the emulsified material. Scrubbing cap is great for removing large, imbedded pieces of debris. You may wipe clean or rinse with water if desired or if using on non-condensation producing coils. For extremely stubborn or heavy deposits, repeat application may be necessary. Turn on or return power to unit.

This video helped me so much! I live in an apartment and haven’t ever cleaned my AC unit 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am using vinegar instead of bleach to avoid the fumes - and vinegar is just as effective at cleaning and removing mold as bleach! Just wanted to point that out for anyone watching in the future :) I am sure my AC is going to work so much better now and my allergies won’t be “mysteriously” acting up!

So satisfying to see the coils super clean. I learned my lesson about cleaning my A.C. every season when it started to agitate my allergies. I opened it up and found some mud/sludge that built up from several storms this summer. All these companies should be required to install drain plugs at the bottom. That way people can let the water out once it gets cold and take it out to clean.

Good video. But there is also coils on the rear of the machine. The inside of the rear coils can get completely plugged up with leaves, dirt, and debris from dust and leaves from the fall. If you don't want to take apart the A/C cover to get it super clean, you can spray a hose on the fine stream setting straight into the back. It will dislodge the dirt from the rear outside fins. Don't worry about getting the inside wet, because the part of the air conditioner that's outside gets wet in the rain anyways. This will make the air a whole lot cooler and more efficient.

My unit is disgusting, waiting for grandson to help and it quit with a E8 error code. Telling me its too Hot and too HUMID. no joke. Ugh I reset as told by manufacturer but all I could find on cleaning it was major deep cleans with 1000 parts to reconnect. Or this video. Thank God!!!! Very detailed. Appreciate showing me in detail but time lapsing tedious redundant work. Beautiful balance of both! Made me feel like I can get the mold out of it. Thank you so much!

I tried the dry brushing with the toothbrush and some canned air just on my own, but i knew there had to be a better, more thorough way of cleaning it completely! I'm in an apartment, and mine is mounted in the wall, so i can't take it out like so many others show. This was exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much!

you can also use a tampon or a pad to absorb water in a window ac unit. for inside where the fan is, tie a string to the string of the tampon then drop it into the fan section, you can repeatedly squeeze the water out then drop it back in. just repeat the process till you're satisfied. for the pad, place it flush against the front coils and make sure you put the edge of the pad in the little space in the front coils. I know it's odd and some may say it's disgusting but just to clarify, I'm only suggesting the use of a NOT YET USED tampon and pad...

For me this was helpful. Primarily in not having to remove the unit, take it outside, place on a table which would have to be fetched from the garage, unscrew the many more screws and clean the whole thing--I'm not up for it, and I know my menfolk will be resistant to the idea. I think your approach gets the unit as clean as it REASONABLY can be. There is a product called Frost King which might eliminate the toothbrush scrubbing; it's a spray-on foam, requires no rinsing, and it just drips away the dirty foam. But it might also be that in the end, human hands with a toothbrush can achieve better results! In either case plenty of paper towels are in order. It was also helpful to see that you had a team of two, brainstorming the idea of keeping the electric stuff dry within a plastic bag, and running and fetching the attachments to the shop vac. I find that moral support--doing an unpleasant job with a buddy--can be uplifting and turn a bad chore by one person into a task accomplished that both can be pleased with.

They make a spray foam cleaner under the brand name FrostKing that will pull out all the caked on dirt that's deep inside the coils. I use it every year on my AC units and the stuff is amazing. Those coils get dirt deep inside where you can't even see it and this stuff brings it out.

Used the toothbrush trick shown int he video to really get in there nice and tight. Problem is I'd have to remove the ac from tbe window to unscrew the front casem did however much as I could do. Made a huge difference cool the room off instantly and that smell of dust is gone. Thank you very much for saving me $350 plus tax on a new ac.

I took out the screen and vacuumed and brushed the filter and cooling coil fins but the unit is truly GROSS and needs either placement or a in depth detailed cleaning such as you did in this video. BUT, because it's not my unit, I have now sent a Maintenance Request through to the management. I will await their response.

Great video thank you so much! I just have 2 quick questions, do you not have to rinse the soapy water from it? And do you have to let it dry at all before turning on again?

what about in back of those coils near the fan. it seems you did a great job on the front but evap coils get wet and traps dirt deep inside the fins of the coils.

I tried this method and lots of dirt came off. but i decided to take it outside and apart and pressure spray it and I couldn't believe how much more dirt came off. My drive way was covered in dirt. not to mention the squall cage fan behind the front evaporator coils were just about completely clogged with mold and dirt. for you to have that much dirt on the front of the evaporator coils I'm sure the evaporator fan is very dirty and needs to be cleaned. proper air flow across the evaporator coils is a must.

@Obscure existence I think that gets ignored most of the time even though as you indicate that is probably the dirtiest part of these units over time. You really need to take the unit out of the winder and take a hose with sprayer and use water to flush it out from outside to inside and the fan blades/or cage. (try NOT to get the actual fan motor wet!) Best thing is to spray at an angle downwards instead of pointing the water directly straight into the evap coil

If you do this, make sure to wear at least a PM2.5 mask (N95 is ideal) to avoid breathing any of that crap in.

Very instructive and helpful and I just subscribed. I do wish you had lingered a bit at .57 or so in the video where that very important looking part is suddenly hanging in a baggie. How do you detach that and reattach it at the end? Yikes!

I just use dawn dish soap in the spray bottle. Let it set for a minute. Scrubbing it with a brush. Then rinse off with hot water. In a spray bottle. Works great. Clean and shiny.

Is it necessary to make sure the internal areas of the unit are completely dry before plugging it back and and turning it on??? I cleaned mine with 280° steam, (most chemicals strong enough to clean off the wet build up on the fins are also very corrosive and hazardous to your health if you breath them in, especially bleach) and one thing we're all taught from a young age is that water and electronics do not mix. So now I'm afraid to power on the unit in fear of it shorting out and stop working. We still have 2½ more months of 105-110° weather before temps start dropping below 95° at night, so frying my only A/C would be extremely dangerous for me and my family.

When you spray the bleach, was that straight undiluted bleach or did you do a mixture of bleach and water?
