Air conditioning offers sweet relief from the hot summer sun.
Like other parts of your vehicle, maintaining it is necessary.
Many parts make up an air conditioning system. The condenser is responsible for condensing the refrigerant that runs through it.
Cleaning your air conditioning condenser is one way you can maintain it.
Air conditioning condenser cleaning process
You will want to start by removing leaves, bugs and other debris. This can be done using a shop vacuum that has a soft bristle brush.
Then, spray the condenser with air conditioning cleaner and rinse it off. For vehicles that have a compressor, a blow gun can remove some of the water.
On some higher end cars, there are air vents controlled by the car’s computer. They open and close when the ac system is on.
You may also want to check out the small fins on the condenser. If there is some sort of impact or they are cleaned improperly, they can block the airflow that’s coming through. The fins will need to be straightened, which is a very time consuming task.
