Popular Services for Sharp Units
General Servicing
General servicing is the fundamental maintenance for air conditioning units, crucial for saving both money and effort with regular upkeep. It involves disassembling and cleaning the front panel, cover, and air filter to enhance air quality. Additionally, it includes cleaning the vacuum evaporator coil for improved airflow, vacuuming blower parts to eliminate dirt and mold, and clearing the drainage pipe of rust and bacteria. The water tray is also washed and vacuumed.
Chemical Wash
A chemical wash offers a more thorough cleaning than general servicing, suitable for air conditioners not maintained for 6-9 months. It utilizes chemical solutions to clean the air filters, fan, and cooling coil, and involves dismantling and cleaning the blower. For frequent users, an annual chemical wash is recommended to remove accumulated dirt.
Chemical Overhaul
A chemical overhaul is a highly intensive service surpassing a chemical wash. It entails complete disassembly of the unit and thorough cleaning of components such as drainage pipes, heat exchange coils, and blower wheels. This service is ideal for units without maintenance for over 9 months and experiencing issues like leakage or unusual noises.
Servicing Process for Sharp
1. Open the Cover

For split-type AC, the front panel cover can be opened by rotating it upwards. Remove it by pulling it forward while holding the two sides of the panel. An amount of force should be done to be able to open the cover.

If visible dirt is found from the filter wash it with an ordinary detergent and rinsing it with clean water to drain any possible clogging inside. Do not use water that is too warm as it will cause it to deform and discolor. Use a soft cloth to enable to dry the filter. The filter should not be exposed to direct heat like the sunlight. Another way is to use a vacuum cleaner to remove tiny dirt adhering to unreachable areas.
3. Replace the Air Filter
Reinserting the filters is done by the opposite direction as to how it was removed. After that, the front panels are placed back by aligning it inserting the two lugs of the panels right into the slots then rotating it downward position. Push the sides and center portion of the panels to securely lock it in place. Do not operate the AC without the filters installed back after cleaning as this would cause damage.
