How to disassemble and clean an air conditioner

- I cleaned the air conditioner installed in the woodworking workshop.
I haven't cleaned it since December 2018.
Air conditioner filters are changed regularly.
However, since it is an air conditioner installed in the workshop, it will be in a filter state like a movie in 3 months.
This time, I tried both a spray cleaner for home use and a liquid cleaner for business use.
(Excessive cleaning is not good, but it is an experiment...)
It turned out that spray-type cleaning liquids for home use have relatively low cost performance but can be cleaned relatively safely.
Professional cleaning liquids can be expected to have a powerful cleaning effect at low cost.
However, it is not perfect. In addition, since the cleaning solution is alkaline, incorrect use may damage the air conditioner or cause serious harm to the human body.
Handle with care.
Purchase cleaning tools (sprayer, cleaning solution for business use, cleaning cover) for around 7,000 yen.
Since the cleaning solution can be used about 5 times, you can clean it for about 1400 yen per unit.
The smell and stains of wood and mold have also disappeared, making it very clean.

I did not know there's so much of a hassle to clean an AC. Why build it this way in the first place, where not only dust, but insects and lizard can live inside this!
Thank you for making content like this for English viewers. There are a ton of English speakers living in Japan and videos like this help a lot!
The first of dozens of YT videos where the critical parts were finally taped cleanly and safely in advance. A very thorough job.
If only AC units were designed modularly like a Roomba is... Screwless designs, spring loaded locks, color-coded parts. It’s almost a pleasure to clean.
Great video, thorough demonstration and explanation of the task at hand. I never knew I was as interested in the guts of an air conditioner as I turned out to be.
Thank you for showing this. Now I think I will have to get an air conditioner man to do it 😅
Why am i watching this and why is this better than any show i have seen in the last year?
Hi-tech cleaning. Perfect 👌
9:39 I knew I'd find a use for that fibrescope one day
That makes me rethink whether I should install a mini-split in my shop. I am thinking no.
Bonjour, vous n'utilisez pas un extracteur ou un aspirateur à copeaux de bois ? parce que vous allez devoir nettoyer votre climatiseur tous les mois à ce rythme non ? Très bonne vidéo comme à votre habitude. Vous devriez peut être ajouté un second filtre à votre climatiseur afin de capter un maximum de particule de bois pour ne pas qu'elle soit aspirée par celui-ci. Un genre de filtre qui couvrirai votre climatiseur (une cage avec un filtre ?) ou de créer une surpression dans votre pièce pour diriger l'aire vers une autre sortie qui possèderai une filtration en installant un ventilateur pour inspirer de l'air dans votre pièce et une sortie d'air sur un endroit opposée l'entrée d'air. Ce principe est utilisée dans les salles d'opération dans les hôpitaux pour éviter que des saletés ne pénètrent à l'intérieur des salles d'opération. Il y a certainement d'autre méthode pour économiser votre climatiseur (en installant à l'extérieur un système d'aspiration silencieux avec des buses d'aspiration au plafon au dessus de vos plans de travail (établi etc..) comme c'est la cas dans les ateliers de soudure pour aspirer la fumée liée au soudure pour les soudeurs. etc... Merci pour le partage de vos connaissances.
This is perfect! Thanks for the video. If I may, what about the outdoor unit? Can you do one too?
International video! All andestand. Thanks!
Great video, thank you. I'll try to do it myself 😬👍
i don't know why ac companies cannot design ac units so they are easy to clean.
It's an entire industry to itself. Along the same lines of planned obsolescence.
Well, any device or machine with intakes and/or exhausts will get dirty and the more moving parts a thing has that uses both intakes and exhausts has, obviously the device becomes more complex to clean and maintain.
This is just the nature of these kinds of devices.
It's got nothing to do with, nor is it even similar, to being like planned obsolescence but an unavoidable consequence of having a device that literally pushes and pulls air around. Along with all the particles that float in the air along with it. Planned obsolescence is totally different to having an actual requirement to clean and maintain something that has moving parts like these things do... If you properly maintain and clean these things they will last for years, decades even. That is a FAR cry from planned obsolescence.
Case in point, would you rather spend 1500 pounds or dollars (or more for one of those large external condenser types), on a new air con unit because yours broke down due there being no industry dedicated to producing products and services to clean and maintain the thing?... Or would you rather have those things and be able to extend the life of the device for a fraction of the cost with cleaning and maintenance? The description states it cost around 1400 yen per unit with multiple uses of the cleaner - that's about 15 or 20 pounds depending on exchange rate. As well as the one time expenditure on the equipment to do so of 7k yen which still isn't even a tenth of the cost to replace the entire unit... Assuming you go for the pro cleaning gear and not just the home/consumer cleaner.
Don't be silly, of course you want option two.
Obviously this particular unit is in a workshop so was more difficult to clean than one in someones front room or office (unless perhaps they smoke in the air conditioned room). The level of crap you get on a residential air con unit is far less and takes far less effort to clean but you're still going to need to either use some kind of cleaner yourself or get someone in to do it for you if you're not comfortable dismantling basic to moderately complex machines/devices for maintenance and cleaning.
To me this looked like a fairly easy and simple cleaning process - just a little time consuming depending on the level of filth, which can be controlled by doing the cleaning more regularly, which in turn will make it easier and faster to accomplish.
I would hardly call removing a few screws, the fascia, filters and directional plastic parts... covering and taping so you can clean it without then having to clean or repaint the wall "difficult".
Everyone has their own concept of what difficult is though.
@@humanspida You are conflating the function of a device with its maintainability. This device has a certain function (blowing air over stuff with moving parts) which is orthogonal to its maintainability.
It boils down more to design. Specifically, the fact that they probably want to leave all the lines in place during cleaning (refrigerant, condensation, electrical) that maybe complicates things. I think they could still solve it if they wanted to.
Your entire argument about spending $1500 more for a unit because it might not have a industry dedicated to its service precisely supports my point. I was referring to that entire industry when I was making the planned obsolescence analogy.
Don't put it past manufacturers to deliberately mis-design a product specifically to prop up the support industry around it.
@@GoatZilla Fair point I guess, about deliberately under-designing a thing to require certain actions and tasks be performed on it throughout it's lifespan.
The maintenance and cleaning still isn't dificult, expensive or even that awkward to perfom on these machines though (unless of suficient complexity in larger systems I suppose) and they WILL last a very long time if properly cared for.
I stand by my assertion that it's not on the same level as planned obsolescence and feel that's a moderately glib interpretation - It's not being updated to affect it's performance, parts are easy to come by for repairs (unless you bought some off brand thing that no ones ever heard of or the company went out of business perhaps), servicefolks are plentiful, and you can even manage to maintain and clean them yourself for the majority of home units with little research & training.
Your point is well taken though. They certainly could be better designed but not being a refridgeration engineer, I couldn't suggest how.
@@humanspida Servicefolks are plentiful because opportunities are plentiful. Those opportunities are plentiful by design (literally -- it is tied to the overall design). If everyone made units that were easy to self-service, then the servicefolks wouldn't quite be so plentiful now would they? I don't think it's as glib an interpretation as you think. It's a known thing in other industries.
The difficulty in cleaning this machine was reaching the rear surfaces, essentially. He had to resort to a camera wand to even look back there, much less clean it. Do you own a camera wand?
Hypothetically, if the thing hinged out or something, it would be easier to reach the rear surfaces. Protecting the surrounding area from overspray and drain wouldn't be as complicated. Hinge out, spray downward straight toward the drain, wipe the backside, done.
Again I think the design complication is trying not to disturb the hoses (particularly the refrigerant line) during the process.
Nice fiber optic camera!
プロ並みじゃなくてプロ以上ですよ😁
What a spectacle 👏👏👏
the last step is smart
good job
10:16 俺「まあプロじゃないしこんなもんやろなぁ」

JSKさん流石っす!w
次はガス回収・完全分解清掃ですね。
プロ以上 確認 作業 確認 作業 確認 すばらしい
Thanks for the video =)
The simplest way with less water is using contact cleaner spray!
自分も今年の夏にエアコン業者に頼むの面倒だから、この動画にも出てくる「くうきれい」をネットで購入して、
噴霧器高いので百均で加圧噴霧器と霧吹き買って掃除したけど、ハッキリ言って手間考えると損。
1か所1本じゃ全然汚れ取り切れず二本使ったけど、それだけ買うと1本2000円なので2本4000円。
頼むならと思ってた「暮らしのマーケット」に出てる業者は最安でも6000円くらいだったから。
手間以外にも、汚水貯める袋はセットで購入したけど重くなりすぎると落ちたり破れるしで、完璧に養生してないと危ない。
汚れ結構取れたと思ってもチェックしてるとまだ残ってる事に気付いて終わり見えないし、
自分の場合は付けて暫くはパラパラ「カピカピに皮状になった汚れ」が落ちてくるから掃除や換気が必要だし。
特に古いエアコン、大きめのエアコンは大変
木工ですから、すごく汚れてましたね。でも、とてもキレイにできて良いですね!素晴らしいです!
半年置きにクリーニングするのが良いのですが、1年と8か月ぶりのクリーニングです。
youtubeのネタとして汚れを育ててからクリーニングしてみました。
@@jisakukobo 様 確かによく育ってますねw
What do you do with the delicious soup after you're done with it?
so satisfying
Ok, now I'm sure of my choice to go and live in Greenland.
Earthquakes are less than in Iceland,
so it's a good choice 🤔
Mhh, @@BrassLock, writing that comment I had in mind another source of discomfort. 🥵
Or maybe something about your refined sense of humor escapes me. 🤔
Does anyone know what it means when the red light is flashing?
Very painful process to clean a split a/c unit...!
なるほど!素人じゃ簡単に出来ないですね!笑自分がやると元どおりに戻せないわ養生甘いわ壁汚しまくりの未来が見えます!笑
I would have used the later cleaning solution from the start... It would have been more efficient and far less chemicals used ...
Description states that you wouldn't normally do it this way due to the potential for causing some kind of damage if done improperly and using too many cleaners too often but was an experiment in product effectiveness so had to use the stronger option afterwards due to the home consumer option not being effective enough on the workshop air con unit.
@@humanspida Congratulations on reading the description thoroughly, digesting it, and rewriting it for those naughty viewers who enjoy their lazy lifestyle.
Слишком сложно. Я мою барабан вентилятора отдельно, вытащив его из корпуса.
Мою автомобильным шампунем и мойкой керхер
Почистить кондиционер - всё равно, что новый поставить :))...
Лайк, та переглядів, вашому каналу.
You mentioned professional cleaning liquid is alkaline, then it should be safe even use incorrectly. Unless the acidic powerful ones can harm our skins and the Aircon metal fins and parts. Yes ? BTW thanks for sharing.
How often you have to clean your workshop air conditioner and how often the one in your house ?
ファイバースコープまで使うのが流石としか…
何かと便利なファイバースコープ
うちも子供部屋のエアコン掃除しました
自分の部屋は3年ぐらいやってませんがw
高圧洗浄機とか、エアコンまるまる取り外してとか、やってみたいですね
とても高画質で丁寧な作業をする人が参考に動画あげてくれたらやる気が出そうなんですが(チラッ
ご家族に喫煙者がいなければ、台所エアコン以外は本格クリーニングは必要ないとおもいます。料理店厨房なら、冷媒回収ができる本格的な業者さんから見積もりを取ってから、空調・換気・ダクト・防火・業務用冷蔵庫などの総合クリーンをお勧めします。
ナカノ・宮本冷機・東冷さんなどの超一流業者は、高いのでお勧めしません。
Biutiful Italia 👍👍👍💯💯
Bevi de meno... 🙄
What kind of filter that you use ?
hello. what kind of flexibile camera did you use ?
Полдня провозился))
Так то новый поставил бы....
👍👍👍
you had to disassemble the drain pan , half job
Yes very nice!! Now make another 35 video's of all the other type of air conditioners because we don't have this type. :-))
Or not. Because if you can’t extrapolate from this, you shouldn’t be attempting to clean your unit.
@@ArnaudMEURET We're not all "genius" like you. :-))
🤦♂️ Проще новый купить 👍😂
Boss level OCD
お掃除機能のないフラッグシップ並に省電力なエアコンがあればいいのに、DIYクリーニング派には邪魔な機能でしかない。洗浄→すすぎ→中和ではないのね。
字幕が見にくいですね。
私は送気ファンも外します。
今回やろうと思ったのですが、動画の情報量が多くなりすぎると思いやめました。
また一年くらい寝かせてエアコンが汚れてきたら公開しようと思っています。
👍👍👍❤👌
貴重な動画を有難う御座います。
動画を観終えて、
素人的な疑問が湧いたのですが ・・・
100円shopでも人気を博している(?)らしい「アルカリ電解水」で洗浄して、
薬局(ドラッグストアなど?)で売っている「逆性石鹸」で濯ぎ(中和)させるのは不適切でしょうか? 🤔
もう少し涼しくなって冷房が不要な気温になったら、24年目に突入した我が家のエアコンをリフレッシュさせてみようと思います。
It's mad
From the point of your knowledge I expected you will dissamble the complete unit, clean by hand not the f.. chemics, improve and assemble again. This job to easy for you should be more efforts. Spraying chemics bad for nature
Absolutely ... ! even though this didn't look like a proper ac unit...more like a glorified fan ...
if you don't know what are you talking about, don't say a word, is not a must to comment. you can't disassemble the unit - it has tubes filled with gas going through the wall.
@@pip5461 sir please.. search google for a minisplit, that's a proper AC unit.
@@HermiloGonzalez07 Mr. Intelligent, he could remove the fans without working on pipes. Cleaning would be much more easier without using the nice chemical products.
@@wolfgangbalu1253 not all can be disassemble , i wish they could for instance midea inverter f8 fan cannot be removed without removing all of the electronics and blower motor before you could take out the blower.
*JSK-koubou* my beats would sound great on your channel 💯🔥🔥🔥 lets collab
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❄️❄️❄️
Nk beli chemical tu tapi tak paham la apa tulisnya.. Huhu

妙啊
ファンは左側から簡単に取り出せるようです
Japan is a cold country why they would use AC?
Japan is a long country from north to south, so some places are cold and some are hot.
And in many parts of Japan, summers are very hot.
Africans said it was hotter in Japan than in Africa.
Have you been? Summers are miserable here.
Ac
2:10 this part is never that easy...
WASH with strong air pressure jet not with water
Nose mucho pero trdas mucho
Stoped nonsense
