Summer has almost arrived, so it’s time to check Air Conditioner. It’s important to keep the condenser clean. If leaves or other debris clog the coils, the heat will not be dissipated properly and the system will not function efficiently. You can use a garden hose to clean the coils by spraying from the inside of the unit out, and there are several commercial condenser coil cleaners for a deeper clean. Then you need to check the fan. If the air conditioner or condensing unit is noisy, or if the fan blade is damaged, then you will need to replace the blade. In this article you will find short instructions for fan replacing of LG lp0817wsr.
- Make sure that the power is disconnected from the unit, either at the circuit breaker or disconnect box.
- Remove all the screws securing the grille at the top of the unit and flip the grill to expose the motor and fan blade. You may also need to remove a panel and clips to have enough slack in the motor wires.
- Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the set screw on the fan blade and pull the blade off of the motor shaft.
- When you’re ready to install the new blade, make sure the set screw is loose enough to slide the blade onto the shaft. Align the set screw with the flat section of the motor shaft and tighten the screw.
- Realign the grille, motor, and blade, and secure it with the screws. Make sure you secure the motor wires and reinstall any panels as necessary.
