Oh my God I want to thank you so much for putting that on KZfaq I was about ready to go get buy a new one but now that I can take it apart and clean it my breathing will be so much easier I have COPD so it was really very nasty inside their thank you again for teaching me how to do that

This video helped me out a lot. My window unit was not running well and I almost bought a new one. But then I watched this. Cleaned my AC and now it's humming like a kitty cat. Thank you!

Thank you so very much for making this video. Obviously, the other people making cleaning videos for wall/window AC units don't live in apartments and haven't lived in apartments. I don't have access to garden hose or power washer, I can't remove it from the wall & I can't open it from the outside. I think that's the case with most renters in apartments. Considering the massive amount renters in this country you'd think more people would create content that was relevant to us. I truly appreciate that you filled this niche that was badly needed. Your video is everything and more that us wall ac units users needed. I guarantee you helped way more people than you think you did. You were so thorough and descriptive making it easy for everyone & anyone to understand. I'm now confident to start cleaning this very dirty AC thanks to your information and guidance.

Ernie Romero I just wanted to let you know that you explained the entire cleaning process step by step. To the point that I understood exactly how to to carefully cleaning my air conditioner.

Thanks for making this so simple, clear and easy to follow. I was going to buy a new air conditioner because of the moldy smell coming from my window AC. I live in New York City without access to a backyard, hose etc. I am definitely going to do this. This just made my day! You have a new subscriber! Thank you so much again!

Wow my AC was just blowing out like a pair of smokers lungs I just cleaned those grills n got it pumping out way better now thank you very much

What's great about the way you explained this is that you didn't just go "oh, just do this" and cut the camera to make it look easy. It's not hard to do, just labor intensive, but I like the fact you went slowly and spoke clearly. I have an LG LW6017R 6000 BTU unit and fater 5 years of neglect the unit was starting to short cycle. Figured it was something to do with the evaporator coils so I took the front cover off and it was grimy like yours. It's amazing how simple these units are, yet they're fairly straightforward to disassemble yet people just dispose of these things like a one night stand. I'm not going to go outside and clean the thing like some videos show it, but something as simple as a yearly coil cleaning can keep the unit running for another good year or two. Thank you sir.

We would always clean the window ac before we put it in the widow, glad to know it can be cleaned in the window, I got my foam cleaner from 99cent for $4.99 😂 nothing is 99 cent anymore. But a good vacuum hose and non bleach disinfectant wipes along with the foam cleaner did the job. Thanks for the video

thank you for this. we were ready to bring it to someone because neither of us is handy, better with software rather than hardware or mechanical stuff. This saved us a lot of stress!

Thank you do very much for showing how to clean an a/c window unit from indoors. I'm in a second floor apartment... You rock!

I can’t describe how much I love the sound of evaporator coils being brushed…

Thank you for showing me how to do this without taking the unit out. My husband passed away recently and I'm surprised that he never cleaned out our window a/c units, a 10,000 BTU, an 8,000 BTU, and two old 5,000 BTU units. I can't take them out myself nor can I reach the biggest one. This will help me do some cleaning. I am reacting to the mold and need to get this done. The hot weather is here in the upper Midwest.

I noticed that you didn't rinse the inside after spraying with the cleaning foam. A previous video i watched used a spray bottle of water to rinse. Does it matter? Thank you for this excellent, step-by-step, detailed video! Also for the links, which i WILL use!! 👍👍👍

I saw your video on cleaning an air conditioner that you made 7 years ago and I’m so glad you’re making new videos too! Thanks 🙏

Just what I was looking for. Thanks. I live on the 3rd floor and my unit is in the wall. Great step by step video.

This is the type of video I was hoping to find ! Alot of the others vlogs here on KZfaq show you how to take apart an air conditioner to clean like they're going to do surgery! Thats fine if you have a backyard with hoses.. I cannot take my heavy air conditioner out and clean it that way. Glad I found this vlog and going to give it a try. Thanks

Great video. Think I'm gonna try this. Also wanted to say how impressed I am with how you answered and responded to most, if not all, questions and comments. Keep up the great work.

You sir are a life saver!!! It was 101° today. I was suffering. Thanks to you I don't have to sleep in this heat. You are awesome!!!

thank you for this. At first I was going to switch to another video, but I'm SO glad I stayed! This saved me the huge cost of buying another one! Thank you!

Thank you for your thorough explanation and demonstration of how to DIY. Good job!

Thank you so much. Couldn't take my unit out if the window. You are a life saver.

Thanks for demonstrating the how too. I have 4 units in my house that need to be cleaned. I thought it was just the filter! Thank you!!!!

Absolutely positively glad I found this video. I watched a video that totally dismantled the unit, too timely and I just do not have the patience for that. This I can handle. TFS!

Thank you for the details in this video. I was afraid I might wet something electrical in there and ruin my unit.

Thank you. I had no idea you could clean the coils with the foam stuff and actually turn the a/c back on. I was afraid to get the inside wet.

I like how every now and then he'll at the camera to make sure everyone can still see. :)

Most of the mold and dirt are in the middle of the unit behind the fan and in the outside fins. This video shows cleaning almost none of the stuff out that is actually making people sick. You need to use something to blow through the fins to clean or remove it. Even in an apartment you can remove the unit and wash it with a bucket, in your tub, etc. The mold and dirt is mostly on the other side.

Thank you so much for this. I live in an apartment and it has been difficult for me to clean my AC. I did not know we could open it up to clean it. I was worried about damaging the unit and was looking at prices for a new one. Mine still works well and I am glad I don't need to buy a new one. I am anxious to clean it up. Thank you so very much. 😊

Must clean mine before putting away for the winter! Thanks!🙂

This is good information - my friend has no central AC and uses these, so I'll pass the information along!

I need to do this to mine. I can see it’s moldy and dog hair has gotten where it doesn’t need to be! Can’t wait to clean mine tomorrow 🙂

The guy is a maniac in the best way. LOVE IT! Thank you 🙂

Thank you so much for this video MrJustDIY! I am about to go out and pick these cleaners up to clean both of my window units.

Thank you so much!!! I've never had a window air conditioner until last year when l had to get one.I had no clue how to clean it.I have terrible allergies and found this so helpful 🤧.

Just to let everyone know what I done is went to wal mart bought a house ac filter and cut to fit behind the mesh one that comes with the ac it helped out a lot on not having to clean the condenser coil

Best video for cleaning. I watched like three before and yours is the best and easiest ! Thank you !

You are so very kind to make this video...I'm actually confident now.

Thank you for the video. I have a Frigidaire LRA257ST2 model in my living room provided by my landlord. It's mounted outside my trailer & not removable (at least by me.) For the past little bit, it has smelled mildewy & weird. I have regularly cleaned the filter & what I could see when I removed the little front part. After watching your video & educating myself, I followed your instructions & oh boy. It was disgusting to say the least. Thank you again - now I won't be breathing in filth.

Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video. My AC has bad mold in it and it's messing with my breathing. My husband has asthma and he has left our room to sleep in the spare room. This is the first video I clicked on and I do not need to watch another one. Amazon here I come! Thank you.

This was very helpful! Third floor walk up without a garden hose- Thanks so much!

Just by watching you can see the front coils much more cleaner then before. Great video I'm going to do that to mine.

This was SO helpful!! Thank you, thank you, thank you

You're my Mr. Cleaning Hero 🤠thank you!

You did a amazing job sir.well explained much love from Mexico.

Looks good. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks for sharing this video😁 this is exactly what I was looking for because I can't really take my unit out of the window in my room I am so glad I found this video I think I will send for that spray foam but for the moment I'll just use a spray bottle like you said with a little soap.I didn't know it would be so easy to take the front part off which only has two screws one on each side. 🙄🙂 Thanks again and may God bless you.

Dudes voice sounds just like Beevus and Butthead 😆 Good video 👍

I use that spray AC cleaner by Frost King. On my big 20K BTU units, I keep a pan of hot water to rinse the brush in, which immediately releases all the dirt collected by the cap, so the cap can now pickup more dirt.

Thank you. As a widow I am left with things I never thought I needed to learn.

Thank you for considering us in apartments! As i watched your video, i felt like u heard me and was talking directly to me! Wow. I'm thankful for your advice, my ac units work sooo much better now. Thanks again!! Be blessed.

Thank you so very much for sharing this!!!! I really appreciate it! I needed this real bad. 🤗🌹🌷

I just ran across you I been having so much problems thank you cause I can't take mine out side thank you so much 💓

Nice! I'm sure this will be very helpful for thousands of people! If you happen to have a dish-washer, can you put the plastic front cover in the dish-washer?

Thank you for the help!

Thank you sir and GOD bless you and your family's ❤️🙏

Amazing…Thank you so very much!💯

If my window ac was able to be able taken out of window or wall here to clean thoroughly, I would. Unfortunately I have to leave them in. But I still clean them. I appreciate his video. I have a haier window ac in my bedroom. It was already installed. It's not owner easy to remove the unit so everything has to be be cleaned while still mounted. I just need to clean all of it and put back together.

Many thx! Even I can clean mine. FYI: let all parts dry before plugging in. I hope you unplugged too! Thx for the links too.

Thank you so much, I will definitely try this cause my unit isn't cooling like it used too😔 and i really don't want to buy another one.. Blessings to you💛

Huge help! Thank you so much!

Thanks for post. It really helped a lot

Love this video. Thank you so much for helping those of us unable too clean our ac outside. Also thanks for showing us which parts are removable and how too safely clean our unit’s. And the products that are safe for cleaning. 3+ yes ago I moved into an apt that has a wall opening and panel. We’re not allowed to put an ac in any windowsill. Bought a window ac and had it placed into the wall opening. Within a week the brand new unit began smelling like a pile of dead fish ! And wasn’t operating as well. This is despite the unit having been tilted as far as possible towards the outside. A neighbor said the disgusting oder was because my unit wasn’t draining properly. Well.. if you only knew everything I tried to improve the drainage and get rid of the oder 🤦‍♀️ Yet nothing seemed to work. I do have access to a hose but am unable too remove the unit from the wall. Nevertheless I sprayed cleaners into the areas I could reach outside. And other times I made a mixture of cleaner and water in a milk jug. Poured the solution into the exterior of the ac unit, waited few mins. Then rinsed with the hose or jugs of water. Even made extra drain holes but unless you make large holes then they’ll get plugged up quickly with bugs and debris. Doing the cleaning exterior would help reduce the stink but not fully and it would come right back ! That ac wouldn’t work at all this yr ! The blower motor fan wouldn’t run. So bought my second unit. First use was wonderful. By the 3rd use it stunk too high heaven 🤮 and wasn’t cooling right. By now I wanted to scream ! I started searching for videos that might help. I came across this video about drainage help. Let me tell everyone, This really works and is incredibly easy. You take a piece of gauge and carefully tuck one end of it all the way down into the drainage pan. Right at the back exterior end of your unit that sticks outside. The other end of the gauge you drape over the exterior pan frame. Letting it hang an in or more over/ under the unit. The gauge soaks up the water in from the drainage pan and drips down the gauge portion that’s hanging outside of the pan frame. Immediate proper drainage ! They recommend in the video too change the gauge once a month. Replace it with fresh gauge. As I type this lengthy comment my ac is running and draining properly thanks too the gauge. I highly recommend trying this if you’re having drainage problems with your ac. Lastly I viewed a video explaining everything about wall ac unit’s. How they work. What each part function does and how to take them apart. Cleaning videos to. But I’m still searching the cleaning videos and came across yours. I’m unable too lift my unit and using a hose while it’s installed only soaks the inside of your home. No matter how careful you are. So I thank you for providing those of us a step by step instructions for cleaning the ac while still installed. Thanks for naming the cleaners and for responding to people who left you comments. If you have any thoughts on the rapid dead fish oder that develops in my unit. I’d appreciate hearing them. How can that rancid oder develop so quickly after only two uses ? What’s the cause ? Mold? Or can dead mosquitoes cause that rancid dead fish oder ? How the heck do I get rid of the oder and prevent it? I’m an elderly lady with copd and cannot breathe in the humidity. I must have a proper functioning ac accessible. That doesn’t reek so badly that the rancid oder ends up inside my apt as well as outside. I’m at a total loss what to do.

Thanks for sharing!

The video is so useful!!! COOL!

Thank you for the video! Mine is about a year old and I was away for about 10 days and when I came back yesterday, it now has this smell that resembles cat pee. I'm on a 5th floor apartment so no cats are peeing on it so the smell must be coming from mold. I will give this a try and see how it goes and report back! Very helpful! Thanks again!

Thank you!

I have a window Air conditioner but I live in apartment building on the nineteenth floor the most I could is clean the reusable air filter .

I love your vibe man! Thanks for the video! going to be cleaning my in-wall air conditioner here soon. Really appreciate it man!

Thanks for posting this video it really helped me out. This video made it really easy to clean my AC

Thank you SO much for this video. You answered my concerns. One question: When the unit is still wet inside from the rinsing, etc, is it ok to plug back in and use? Thank you for the links too. Much appreciated.

Gracias , thanks !!! I did very good job. It’s working excellent my AC.

Very good. I will definitely do this. Thank you.

Very nice. Thank you for making this.

Thank you 🙏

Always Google a utube video I paid 16 dollars for 2 cans foam. They said peroxide worked and he said bleach and Dawn which most people have and air hose

Awesome!!!!! I'm going to try this!

I want to thank you for this video it helped out so much! Even bought the product. My AC unit looked like it had never been cleaned. So it all worked out great and then I turned it on. After a few minutes little bits of water is spitting out. Is that normal?

Thank you very much for making this video. It was very helpful. Your awesome!

Very helpful thanks

I'm renting a place and the radiator is just clogged with tons of nicotine so it's really clogged. I was wondering if i could spray a degreaser to get in deep in there and then spray it real good and then use my shop vac to blow all of the garbage from inside to outside

Best video I have seen on this specific topic. Thank you sir

Thank you for this video

Thank you so much for this video. It's so helpful. My ac is a wall unit. I'm wondering how to drain the water that got in from my spraying. I don't see a drain hole.

You need that in your shop. Summers coming and its going to be hot...hot....🔥.

This is exactly what I was looking for

My ac unit is blowing out literal globs of dirt and I'm a bit scared to clean it myself since I rent and live on the second floor. This video has given me a bit of bravery.

You make it easy to understand.

Thank you

thank you

Thank you!!

Thanks so much 🤗came out great

Awesome! Thank you so much. Wish there was a save button like most videos. Sucks. Subscribed!

Loved your video very informative now I gotta go and clean my AC unit thanks a bunch 🙂 Oh I also liked left a comment and subscribed to your Awesome channel

Thank you great video

Do I need to turn the ac unit off before spraying the foam spray?! Or can I just leave it running?!! Please help

Mine is a wall unit that I'm sure dates back to the 20th century. That being said it isn't in the wall but in a very large window supported outside with a 2x4 frame from the ground up. It blasts cold air just fine but the thing just started acting up in that it won't stop cooling even when the temps inside and outside are down in the low 60's no matter how I set the thermostat. I cleaned the thermostat as best I can, now I'll watch you video to see how to clean between the fins. I keep the screen filter clean even though there isn't much left of it as it's plastic frame has been brittle for the last ten years and is slowly disintegrating.

If been doing this for my small room ac for 3 year's and its ruinning like new. The more dust in tje coil the more th ac struggles to cool your room and the compressor will burn out. When cleaning, if you see the coil area turning blue, its clean.

So you don't have to wet it if you use that foam spray ? 🤔 wow I hope I can get mine apart to do this when the weather gets cooler coz I've never cleaned mine and I have allergies and asthma. Thank you so much for this video you make it look very easy !

Thank you very much. 😇😇😇😇

First let me thank you for your time and I have an suggestions for you there is a mini vackume on the market for cleaning sewing machines that I have used to clean m windy unit. It has an attachment to connect to a shop vac. It works really well when cleaning room air conditioner that will not be removed to clean. Thanks again for your help today.
