<v ->Today we're gonna discuss the importance</v>

2
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.740
and the procedure in cleaning your condenser coil on your

3
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:15.810
Continental refrigerator or freezer.

4
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:17.820
This is important for many reasons.

5
00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:19.775
Mostly, it'll conserve energy,

6
00:00:19.775 --> 00:00:21.540
cut down on your service cost,

7
00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:23.640
and also add life to your compressor.

8
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.710
It's always important to disconnect the power

9
00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:28.140
to your cabinet before doing any preventive maintenance.

10
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:29.460
The first thing you want to determine is

11
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:31.440
where your condensing unit is located.

12
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.140
It could be located on the top of the unit, at the rear

13
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:35.850
of the unit, or on the front.

14
00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.850
All you wanna do is locate the condensing unit

15
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:40.560
and remove the front grill.

16
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.620
Once the grill is removed, you'll see the condensing unit

17
00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:44.700
and the condenser coil looks

18
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:48.360
like the radiator in your car, and inspect for any dirt

19
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:51.600
or paper. Using a stiff nylon brush,

20
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.760
remove any debris in a downward motion

21
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.220
and always go in the direction of the fins.

22
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:57.810
Depending on the amount of dirt,

23
00:00:57.810 --> 00:00:59.880
you may also wanna use a shop vac,

24
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.580
and you can also pass a flashlight into the fins

25
00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:03.750
to see if you can see through

26
00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:05.880
or have any additional blockage.

27
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.380
If everything looks good,

28
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:09.840
reattach the grill and start your unit.

29
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.430
