Hi,

I used to remove my Panasonic aircon blower wheel to soak + clean. This is the video I followed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atQZtEEcE4c...&index=2&t=353s

I don't really consider it that difficult to remove...

For Daikin, i'm just not sure if it's the same (mitsubishi is similar to panasonic i think...). I want to gather opinions b4 i head on to dismantle smile.gif

Thanks for your input!!

pressure spray or chemical clean is done outdoor. Not in the room. It require to taken down the whole aircon.

"ohh u want singapore style ar?" - Is cleaning by using a big bag hang below the aircon. All the dirt and water drop into the bag.

Pressure spray or chemical clean is more cleaner.

I don't use any chemical if DIY clean. Only general detergent. It is good enough.

If you want to use chemical, can get it from ACE or aircon parts supply shop. Makseure you read the label about safety.

Pressure spray have 2 type. If you using the pressure motor pump, yes, it would damage the fin. Unless you know how to use.

Another type is hand pump. This wan is safe. I use this spray to clean the fin.

Didnt expect you to replied.

Read his previous posting saying diy is time consuming.

Ok never mind about the above.

Generally water pressure from direct piping should be able to do the job, unless there is coil leakage. Is only dust.

Any general detergent or multipurpose liquid cleaner. Can buy from supermarket.

At the end, it is the spray water that flushes out the dust.

one of the best , but price keep go up.
very safe .

3-IN-ONE WD 40 Professional Air-Conditioner Cleaner is a water based cleaning agent which dissolves grease, dirt, fungi, mold & other build-up from the cooling coils of your air-conditioners. After cleaning, your air-conditioner will cool faster. thus saving electricity.
