Gasket Maintenance
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mould and mildew buildup and also to keep the elasticity of
the gasket.
Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on
gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never use sharp tools or
knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service persons. The
gaskets are "Dart" style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new gaskets can be "pressed"
back into place.
Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use, doors the hinges may become loose. If it is noticed that the door is
beginning to sag, it may become necessary to tighten the screws that mount the hinge brackets to the
frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sagging this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame
which may damage both the doors and the door hinges. In some cases this can require qualified service
agents or maintenance personnel.
Drain Maintenance
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil
and evaporates it at an external condensate evaporator pan. The drain may become loose or even
disconnected resulting from moving or bumping the drain.
If you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure the drain tube is connected
from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan.
If water is collected underneath the unit, you may need to check the condensate evaporator drain tube to
make sure it is still located inside the drain pan.
The levelling of the unit is important as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level
surface. If your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems. Make sure all drain lines are free of
obstructions, or blocked drain lines will cause water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
