How To Air Cooler Services

| Servicing your air cooler regularly (ideally every 15–30 days during peak summer) ensures it blows fresh, cold air and prevents the growth of mold or bacteria. |
Here is a step-by-step guide to servicing your air cooler at home:
1. Safety First
Unplug the unit: Always disconnect the cooler from the power source before you begin.
Move it outdoors: If possible, take the cooler to a balcony or driveway to avoid making a mess inside.
2. Clean the Cooling Pads
Cooling pads (Honeycomb or Wood Wool) are the most important part of the cooler.
Remove the panels: Use a screwdriver to open the back and side panels.
Gentle Rinse: Wash the pads under a low-pressure tap. Never use a high-pressure washer, as it can tear the delicate honeycomb structure.
Descaling: If you see white salt deposits, soak the pads in a mixture of 50% water and 50% white vinegar for 15 minutes, then rinse.
Air Dry: Let them dry completely in the sun before putting them back.
3. Clean the Water Tank
Stagnant water can lead to "swampy" smells and mosquito breeding.
Drain the water: Open the drain plug at the bottom to empty the old water.
Scrub the tank: Use a sponge and mild detergent to scrub the floor and walls of the tank.
Disinfect: Wipe the tank with a diluted bleach solution or vinegar to kill bacteria and algae. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward.
4. Service the Water Pump & Pipes
Check the Pump: Remove any hair, lint, or debris stuck in the pump's suction filter.
Clear the Pipes: Check the small pipes that distribute water to the pads. If they are blocked by salt or dirt, use a thin wire or a toothpick to poke through the holes.
5. Maintenance of Fan Blades & Motor
Wipe the Blades: Use a damp cloth to remove dust from the fan blades. Dust buildup makes the motor work harder and reduces airflow.
Oil the Motor (If needed): If the fan makes a squeaking noise, apply 2–3 drops of lubricating oil to the motor shaft (refer to your manual for the exact oiling point).
6. Exterior Body
Wipe the outer body with a dus
p cloth and mild soap. Clean the front louvers (the moving flaps) to ensure they move freely.
Pro-Tip: The "End of Season" Routine

When you are ready to store the cooler for winter:
Dry it out: Run the cooler on "Fan Only" mode (pump off) for 30 minutes to bone-dry the pads.
Cover it: Use a plastic or fabric cover to prevent dust from entering the internal parts while in storage.
