1. Use clear water or water and detergent (use no ammonia products) to wash all parts of the equipment that are covered with mud or silt.

A/C Repair Allow at least three days for the equipment to air dry.

2. Sealed bearing motors or Electrically Commutated motors should be replaced.

3. Use clear water to flush motors which have bearing oiling ports, then flush with denatured alcohol and allow to air dry. Re-oil all motor bearings prior to returning equipment to operation.

4. Replace any switch or electrical part that is corroded or rusted to the extent that unreliable operation could result. Also, replace any part that functions as a final safety (ie. high pressure switch, limit switch, etc.)

5. Replace all phenolic cased start capacitors.

6. Run capacitors should be flushed with clean water, then denatured alcohol, brushed clean and dried with a cloth.

7. Replace any wet fiberglass insulation and clean foam or hard surface insulation with clear water and allow to air dry.

8. Wash both sides of all terminal boards with clean water, then with denatured alcohol and allow to air dry.

This procedure is an attempt to save an air conditioning unit from having to be replaced but in no way guarantees that failure from being flooded may not occur in the future. Replacement of the unit is the only way to restore to a factory warranty.
