The saying 'Quality comes from within' has never been more true! Especially with devices used frequently, particularly during the summer season like SUNHOUSE Air Conditioner Fans, proper cleaning ensures genuine durability.
To ensure the durability of an air conditioner fan, it's essential to adhere to the correct cleaning standards.
Why is regular cleaning of an air conditioner fan necessary?
Imagine your traditional fan that you often used before. Even if it's been cleaned thoroughly, after a short while, dust patches will inevitably appear on the blades, fan grills, and base... This is because the air around us always contains tiny dust particles. When the fan blades rotate, friction causes these particles to be attracted and firmly stuck to the fan blades, motor, and fan grills. Air conditioner fans utilize air blowing through a moistened cooling pad, making them even more prone to dust accumulation, bacteria growth, and unpleasant odors, which can affect the user's health.
When is it necessary to clean an air conditioner fan?
Typically, you should clean the air conditioner fan about once a month. If the fan is placed in open spaces, high-traffic areas, or dusty environments, more frequent cleaning is necessary. You should also pay attention to the quality of water used for cooling. Water with high lime content can easily clog the pump, hindering the cooling function. Therefore, it's essential to clean the pump regularly to prevent buildup.
Parts that require cleaning in an air cooler - air conditioner fan:
- Dust filter
- Cooling pad
- Water tank
- Pump
- Fan blades
- Exterior casing

Clean the fan shell:
This is a straightforward part to clean. You can use a soft dry cloth or lightly damp cloth to wipe the entire outer shell gently. Avoid excessive pressure, which can scratch the fan shell, diminishing its aesthetic appeal and creating conditions for dust buildup, making the product appear aged prematurely.
Clean the fan blades:
Use a clean cloth to thoroughly wipe the fan blades. This is often the area with the most dust accumulation. You should use a thin, soft cloth folded neatly into a pointed tip or wrapped around your index finger for easy cleaning. Then, clean the gaps between the fan blades thoroughly. Avoid directly washing the fan body with water as this part contains the control panel and LED display screen, which, if not careful, can cause short circuits.
Khi nào thì cần vệ sinh quạt điều hòa?
Thông thường, cứ khoảng 1 tháng bạn nên tiến hành vệ sinh quạt điều hòa một lần. Nếu quạt đặt ở những không gian mở, nhiều người qua lại, nhiều bụi bặm thì càng phải vệ sinh thường xuyên hơn. Bạn cũng nên chú ý chất lượng nước sử dụng để làm mát. Với những nước có nhiều đá vôi, nó rất dễ gây bít tắc máy bơm, khiến chế độ làm mát không phát huy được hết công năng. Do đó, bạn càng cần phải chú ý vệ sinh máy bơm để tránh đóng cặn.
Các bộ phận cần vệ sinh của máy làm mát không khí – quạt điều hòa:
- Tấm chắn lọc bụi
- Tấm làm mát
- Bình chứa nước
- Máy bơm
- Cánh quạt
- Thân ngoài
Hướng dẫn vệ sinh máy làm mát không khí – quạt điều hòa SUNHOUSE
Vệ sinh thân vỏ quạt
Đây là bộ phận rất dễ vệ sinh. Bạn có thể sử dụng khăn mềm khô hoặc thấm ẩm nhẹ, lau sạch toàn bộ lớp vỏ bên ngoài
một cách nhẹ nhàng. Tránh đè quá mạnh tay gây chầy xước vỏ quạt không những làm giảm tính thẩm mỹ của quạt điều hòa mà còn tạo điều kiện bám bụi bẩn khiến sản phẩm nhanh “cũ” hơn.
Vệ sinh phần cánh gió
Dùng khăn sạch lau thật kỹ các cánh tạo gió. Đây thường là nơi bám nhiều bụi bẩn nhất. Bạn nên dùng loại khăn mềm mỏng xếp chéo gọn thành đầu nhọn hoặc quấn quanh đầu ngón tay trỏ để dễ dàng vệ sinh. Sau đó lau thật sạch những khe hở giữa những cánh tạo gió. Tránh rửa trực tiếp thân quạt bằng nước bởi bộ phận này chứa bảng điều khiển và màn hình LED hiển thị, không cẩn thận có thể gây chập cháy.
Cleaning the cooling pad and dust filter
These are the two most critical parts of an air conditioner fan. Since they are responsible for filtering out dust and reducing temperature as air passes through, these parts often come into direct contact with moist air. Therefore, the cooling pad and filter are prone to dust buildup. Typically, cooling pads are protected by an outer casing. If you need to remove them, you'll need to use a screwdriver to remove the securing clips. Some compact fan models like SUNHOUSE SHD7717 and SHD7718 are designed with easy-to-remove covers, allowing you to take out the cooling pad without the need for a screwdriver.
After removing the cooling pads and dust filters, you can clean them using the following methods:
Use a thin, damp cloth to wipe the dust filter clean.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub the grooves clean.
You can use a high-pressure hose to spray into the grooves to remove dirt and debris.
Note:
When cleaning these two parts, only use clean water. Do not use soap or strong cleaning agents. After cleaning, both parts should be sun-dried completely before reinstallation.
Cleaning the water tank
Due to its water storage nature, even if made from the best materials, water tanks are prone to sediment and algae buildup at the bottom, requiring more frequent cleaning than other parts. For tanks designed to be detached, simply remove them for easy cleaning. But for devices integrated with the main body like the SUNHOUSE commercial air conditioner SHD7748, before cleaning, you need to remove the water release valve to let the old water drain out. Then, reach into the fan frame to use a sponge soaked in soapy water to clean the inside. After that, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the soap and dirt inside. Keep wiping until the water tank no longer smells of soap.
Note:
You should not spray water into the water tank to clean it as water may splash onto the motor and electronic circuit boards, potentially damaging the fan.
Cleaning the fan blades
There are two common types of air conditioner fans: axial and centrifugal. Use a damp cloth to clean the fan blades. Cleaning is easier with axial fans and may take a bit longer with centrifugal fans due to their multiple blades.
