In hot summer, there is one way to save - use your home air conditioner. Let’s prepare your AC for summer. Today we will check the condensate drain line and what to do if it's clogged. We have for you a simple guide on how to clean clogged drain line on Toshiba PKVPG-ND, just follow the instructions.
- Turn the system off at the thermostat as well as at the breaker.
- Find your condenser drain line. Your drain line is a PVC pipe located near your outdoor unit and is attached to the wall of your house.
- Find the access point on the drain line. Most drain lines will have a T-shaped vent tee with a cover or cap. Remove the cap at the top of the drain and inspect for blockage.
- Clean with distilled vinegar. Add ¼ cup of distilled vinegar to the drain line through the opening where the cap was removed. It’s recommended you use regular distilled white vinegar, as the increased acidity boosts its cleaning properties. If you find the smell of vinegar foul, you can also use peroxide or hot water and a dash of dish soap.
- Let the solution sit for 30 minutes. Flush the pipe out with water to ensure everything is flowing freely and operating as it should.
- We recommend you make sure your system continues to operate at peak performance by cleaning your drain line every 30 days.
