Mitsubishi air conditioners are one of the most reliable brands on the market. However, like all appliances, they require some maintenance to keep them running properly. Here are a few tips on how to maintain your Mitsubishi air conditioner:
-Check the air filter every month and clean or replace it as needed. A dirty air filter can cause decreased airflow and lead to ice buildup on the coils.
-Inspect the coils and clean them if necessary. Dirty coils can decrease efficiency and cause the unit to overwork itself.
-Clean the outdoor condenser unit regularly to remove dirt, leaves, and other debris that can accumulate over time.
-Keep an eye on the refrigerant levels and have them checked by a professional if they seem low. Refrigerant leaks can decrease efficiency and cause damage to the compressor.
