Why there is mold on the blower side?

Aircon air is dry. Wrong setting?

Check your humid during using aircon.

I don't have such problem. There is only dirt at that blower side.

Room humid during aircon is 40-45%.

New type aircon normally have antimold treated on the fin, water tray or some parts.

The air blowing out is dry. So shouldn't be mold grow on it. Unless at the water tray below the fin.

I mean the mold will grow at the tray since the water will remain in there. But not at others area.

Level of humid depend on the temperature setting. The lower the more dry. 40-45% at the 24c temp setting.

I don't have problem with this level humid. It doesn't consent me if 40% or 60%. But not over than like 70%+. Can feel the stuffy.

You can buy at ACE or Caring, watson etc.

I have the sharp air purifier which have humid reading. So I can see my room humid.

By right, all the aircon now have the antimold chemical to protect from mold.

Shoudn't have such issue anymore. It is not a new feature now.

If you search some aircon website spcification, it have list down like antimold.

I use it on my bathroom.

Can get it from ACE.

Your AC got special mold ?

This spray is deal with mold.

Spray, rub and rinse.

Easy way, get a service.

This is what I do.

Put a big plastic bag below the aircon. I have this plastic bag specially for aircon service. I don't no where to get already. The last I saw is in homefix, 1U.

Spray the coil, blower and anywhere. (Not the electrical side) Use brush.

Rinse it buy spray pressure. I use the ACE 2L garden pressure spray. Cause the nose is long and can go into the blower.

Take down the plastic back that collect the drain water.

Wait till night time only ON back the power to the aircon. To fully dried out the water and incase sip into the electrical side.

* The last is, I spray some dettol dilute with water into the coil. It help kill some germ on the coil, drainer and the drain pipe. Kill the smell too.

Forget it. Get a cleaning service.

Wheel/blower cannot be remove by consumer for cleaning. It is fix into the aircon housing.

The only way is take the whole aircon down and flush cleaning. Which is able to do by serviceman.

What we need is how easy to access the blower and do the normal vacuum cleaning on it. Many Aircon brand is not easy to access it.

I have been using panasonic aicon for 2 decade till now.

Been open up for many time.

Just can't take out the blower.

what is your Panasonic aircon model?

I brought another aircon Mitsubishi model which have the feature that easy to clean the blower.

Might change all the aircon to Mitsubishi.

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 used to do that. I have the big bag.

But no more doing. It take me long hr.

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.

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

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

Normal cleaning only la.

Call service, once every 2yrs. Cause I can't bring the aircon down and deep clean.

Seal the window and door properly. It help reduce the dust and cleaning alot.
