PSA: Remember to Clean Your A/C Filter

jkjenn

I was doing odds and ends around the T@b, including some spring cleaning and pulled out the a/c filter to clean it. Given the set up, it isn't apparent how you do it, so, I thought I'd share the easy process for the S Maxx models. In less than a year, there was enough debris to clean that it made this a worthwhile exercise.

1. Remove the two square faced screws holding the trim around the a/c to remove the trim with a #1 size square screwdriver.

2. Pull the filter from the pull tab in the right side if the unit. The filter will need to bend due to the tight fit to the wall.

3. Clean the filter.

4. Replace the filter.

5. Replace the trim. Make sure the holes in the trim line up with the holes in the cabinet so that you don't unintentionally start new holes.

Thanks, Jenn. I believe there is a you tube video about this.

Bottom line - simply pull the right side out.  Warning- cleans itself when being pulled out so you may want to use vacuum before pulling or dust goes everywhere.
