Hi guys! Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, have you noticed that the air conditioner outside your home is starting to freeze? What a headache! Don't worry, though, I can help you out!
First of all, we need to know what is the reason for the freezing of the air conditioner in winter. Actually, this is mainly because the moisture in the air condenses on the outer plane, and then forms a thick layer of ice. This will not only affect the cooling effect of the air conditioner, but it may also cause damage to the machine.
So, what can be done to solve this problem? Actually, the solution is very simple, just follow the steps below:
The first step is to turn off the air conditioner. When the outside unit freezes, we should first turn off the air conditioner and let it stop working, which can avoid the ice layer from continuing to increase, and it can also protect the air conditioning machine.
The second step is to remove the ice. After the air conditioner stops working, we need to use a towel or a soft brush to gently wipe off the ice on the surface of the unit. If the ice is thick, warm water or a hot towel can be used to help melt the ice.
The third step is to clean up the external machine. After cleaning the wiped off ice, we need to check the surface of the outer machine again for debris, dust, etc., and if so, it needs to be cleaned up.
The fourth step is to turn on the air circulation. After completing the above three steps, we need to turn on the air conditioner and select the air circulation mode to let the external unit defrost by itself. This avoids the recurrence of freezing.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that you should never use sharps, sharp objects and other tools to scrape the ice, otherwise it will damage the surface and internal parts of the external machine. In addition, if the ice is too thick, it is recommended to find a professional maintenance personnel to help deal with it to avoid unnecessary losses.
Well, the above is how I will teach you how to solve the problem of icing in winter of the air conditioner! Remember to follow the steps above and don't let the cold winter affect your life!
