If you are talking about the outdoor unit, just spray water on your coil and then some simple green on the coil, let it sit for 10 minutes then thoroughly rinse off the coil making sure not to bend over the aluminum coil fins. If you are talking about the indoor coil, that is not consumer accessible for cleaning. You need to strip the sheet metal iff the coil to gain access which is difficult since you have the refrigerant lines leading in. If you do try to clean and strip it VERY carefully. If you puncture the refrigerant lines out side or the coil inside, you'll need to have an HVAC professional repair, evacuate, and recharge the system

Freezing of low pressure pipe 24 BTU

A line or coil freezing is a sign of restricted air flow or low on freon. Make sure the fan that circulates the cold air is working and the filter and coil at the filter are clean. A dirty coil can be cleaned with coil cleaner and a water hose. You will need to remove the unit and take it outside. (window units only) You can buy a bottle of coil cleaner at any hardware store. Follow the instructions on the bottle but basically you spray the coil until soaked wait 5 minutes and flush it clean with water from a hose. Repeat if necessary. Try not to get water and cleaner on the controls. Be careful water will be trapped in the unit you may want to tip it toword the back for 10 minutes or so and if possible let it set outside to dry. Reinstall the unit and put a clean filter on it and give it a try. If ice forms again it is low on freon and will require a repairman to fix it. Freon is a restricted item and you have to have a license to buy it. good luck..

How do I clean the coils on my Hampton Bay Dehumidifier?

The problem is probably due to dirty or clogged coils. Cleaning the coils to a dehumidifier is similar to cleaning the coils on an air conditioner. It really depends on how dirty the coils are. If it is not too dirty you can use a shop vacuum with a brush attachment. If it is really dirty you will have to use a non acidic hvac coil cleaner or you can use a household cleaner like Simple Green that has been diluted 1:1 with water and placed in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Make sure you unplug the unit before doing anything. If you use Simple Green make sure you spray it down with clean water. If you use an hvac type coil cleaner some do not require rinsing. Follow the directions on the product exactly. You might have to use a brush or even a putty knife if the coil is totally clogged. Be careful you do not damage the coil. Good luck!

Ac rattles after a few minutes of operation then shuts down for several minutes. then restarts and does the same thing over and over again. wat should i do?

Believe it or not, it's probably just dirty! With the unit off, apply a spray cleaner or a detergent solution, which can consist of water and a little dish or liquid laundry detergent, to wet the condenser coils, and spray clean with your garden hose. If it;s a window unit, it's probably best to take it out of the window for cleaning.
