the biggest problem for me is the blower
other is easy, just buy the aircond cleaner spray, spray it leave it 30 min then it will cleaning it

I did post a DIY method to clean the blower fan here for Daikin -

Nice share.

My unit is behaving weird. The metals parts inside (behind the filters) are condensed and turned ice and it will melt causing water dripping.
I found that the blower hole has less than 50% of air coming out which i believe somehow the fan inside is blowing the cold air to wrong place.

Used torch light to see inside found the fan has alot of dusts stucked to it.
Need to do some cleaning but kinda lazy and hard coz below aircond unit got a big cupboard blocking making hard to put ladder.

thats what I like about the Daikin, can take out the fins to get to the blower
usually this is the dirtiest part.

Other brands, not sure.... if can DIY, can save Rm60 per aircon.

what do they do? My service person charges me Rm60 but that is to clean the indoor blower only, not the outside compressor. Actually Rm60 also expensive, I found another that charges only Rm25 for indoor blower and Rm140 for both indoor and outdoor.

i think my model need open up whole cover......
i will try tomolo

I've been doing this since day 1. The blower still gets dirty after some time, but probably much lesser without the extra filter. In fact, I've been using the A/C every night for almost 4 years now, without engaging a professional service personnel. Just remember to change the filter from time to time because if it gets clogged you get reduced airflow.

Well, at most we can reach the blowers. The condenser fins still need to be cleaned by the service personnel Even the dust accumulated on the blower fins can be difficult to remove. Vacuum alone is not enough. I had to use a small brush to dislodge the dirt. Quite time consuming.

which daiso you went to? i also want to get some

I've been doing this for a long time. Learn from aircond cleaner / technician that used to come and clean & service my office's aircond.

Very easy job. I take about an hour or less. My home aircond have been working well ever since (more than 7 years) without any professional service done..

Cool same like mine.. When from new installed until today, From my blower still using an extra filter, even the Aircon man nothing to said, they said like this case, if everyone to be the same, from their serving program would be cut down 80% ha ha.

The 1st is aluminum fins didn't blocking on dust of the airflow still remain like new performance, just remember for change the filter on every month only.

Dunno why your can't open

Do you have a huge plastic bag underneath when you rinse it off with water? Otherwise you have to dismantle the entire unit and bring it somewhere to clean.

WARNING: CROOK AND BULLY- VINCO Sales & Services Electrical and Aircon Services

I was home alone when 2 technicians arrived. They cleaned my ac with just a cloth and took out the opening cover and filter to the toilet for washing (which is less than 10 mins job) and refilled my ac gas without my approval. Best thing is i asked for 1 to be clean and they cleaned 3 and told me after. I didnt want tell them off cuz again, its done and no point arguing over it especially when there r 2 of them

When they invoiced me the amount, i nearly fell off the chair. I felt cornered and didnt wanna make a scene as i was home alone with these 2 men. it is ridiculously high and its not right to bully a home alone woman like this. I called the boss up later and complained about this, he gave me a discount of RM100 but i'm very unhappy with this and i told him to keep the balance as I'm bringing this forward to share with all my friends especially housewives or single women who might feel bullied by these kind of behaviour. If you want your aircon clean at max half the price, PM me.

OR BETTER STILL DIY.

How long was this?

Your place must be very dusty. Mine doesn't look that bad even after 3 months, and I stay beside a busy road. I never open my windows though.

Xcess, these filter sure runs out fast at Daiso. You must be buying them by the carton?

this DIY daiso filter can be wash and reuse ???
