Do it yourself

Rather do it yourself?

Change the filter and clear the drain line

Steps
  1. Turn the system off at the thermostat.
  2. Slide the old filter out and note the size printed on its edge.
  3. Slide the new filter in with the arrow pointing toward the unit.
  4. Pour a cup of distilled vinegar into the condensate drain line access to clear algae.
