CLEANING WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER:any one know of ways to vacuum inside without dismantling?
I am especially interested in how I can reach inside the top vent (which blows air out) and clean the circular wheel which has little “lips” all the way round.
I should add some more details:
It’s a Carrier circa 1995, Siesta model TCA051B with carry handle.
It’s a great unit…they just don’t make them like this any more, because I have looked EVERYWHERE, & been unable to find one both light-weight & powerful like this.
The slots in the top are only 3/8 inches x 2 inches wide, however, so not possible to get crevice tool inside.
I don’t want to really blow out because of possible mold in there.
I had the twin one to this (I have two) professionally cleaned & recharged last year,& it is working like a charm. But this one I really had to put in today because my helper is going away, so trying to figure out how to clean it while in place and unplugged.
Not sure if taking front off will do any good; trying to figure if possible & if so if it will help.
All prior answers are to be disregarded. Some of these window units have sleeves that allow the innards to be accessed. Some window units have to have the outer shell unbolted or unscrewed to be removed. Sticking objects through the louvers may damage your A/C – NOT a good idea! That circular wheel is called a “squirrel cage”, and should be cleaned gently. You might be better off hiring the job out again. Good luck.
