I liked your video how to clean your AC my Question. What might be the problem if the AC is like freezing up and you have to turn off the ac and leave the fan running to un thaw it and then resume cold air we have it set for about 73 to 78 degrees ?
I also watched Pippi’s video on cleaning her AC unit and had a bit of a safety issue that i’ll go into later. When an AC unit freezes up it means that the evaporator (I think) is clogged up enough that it is not permitting sufficient air flow. You can take a toothbrush or other fine brush and clean it (that’s what I did with my dehumidifier when it started freezing up after 5 seasons of use). You do have to be careful to keep the metal fins straight as bending them blocks air flow. What Pippi shows us to do in her video should prevent freeze-ups and have your unit last longer.
My safety issue with Pippi’s video regards the wasp nests she found when removing her AC cover. I was lawn mowing once and began to be stung by a bunch of wasps and my only thought was to get the heck away and if I had been on an RV roof likely would have gone over the edge. Before going up on the roof I would watch from a ladder for awhile to see if any flying critters are coming and going from the AC unit. If none I would then take a long broom handle or the like and bang lightly on the cover of the AC to see if that stirs anything up. I’m not in an area subject to killer bees but extra precautions would be wanted where there is a chance of them being in your RV.
CheersHowdy you all:I found some info that I’ll pass on to you guys
As I’m doing research for materials !1) Zero-breeze= Portable ac unit and battery operated !
2) Minihvac= Ac/DC air conditioner/Heat pump 4200 btu running
On 115vac with pump running draws 2.7 amps 12 vdc draws 25 amps!,Its a small unit you will be surprised!3) Peltier Junctions = Also another choice as well !
Just passing information on !
You can find on y-Tube !
And go to there sites as well.
Cut and paste can be an issue for me at times !
Take it easy Jeff
