Does the Car Air Conditioner Blower Need Cleaning?
2 Answers
It is recommended to clean the car air conditioner blower at least once a year, preferably during seasonal changes. If the vehicle is used in a particularly dusty or polluted environment, quarterly cleaning is advised. Below are the methods for cleaning a car air conditioner: 1. Using Air Conditioner Cleaner: Normally, the air intake of the car air conditioner is equipped with a pollen filter, which prevents external dust from entering during the air conditioner's external circulation. 2. When cleaning the air conditioner, remove the pollen filter and spray the air conditioner foam cleaner into the air intake. Ensure that the air conditioner's outlets are tightly closed to prevent the foam cleaner from leaking out.
I think the car's AC blower really needs regular cleaning, especially since I've been driving for over a decade and always pay attention to maintenance details. The blower is responsible for air circulation in the AC system, and over time it accumulates dust and debris. If not cleaned promptly, not only does the airflow decrease, but the cooling efficiency also drops, making summer drives quite uncomfortable. What worries me more is that excessive dust can clog the fan blades and even cause motor overheating damage, leading to more complicated repairs. I recommend checking it at least once a year, especially before high-temperature or humid seasons. You can use compressed air to clean the interior yourself or opt for professional cleaning at a trusted service center. This habit not only saves future repair costs but also keeps the cabin environment fresher and more comfortable. I remember after my last cleaning, the AC noise reduced significantly, making the ride much quieter.
