I HAVE REMOVED THE AIR FILTER WHICH IS BLACK WITH DUST, HOW SHOULD I CLEAN IT? WITH WHAT SHOULD I CLEAN THE AIR FILTER, WATER OR GASOLINE OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Wash your HEPA filter with warm water and allow it to dry if your model specifically states that water cleaning is safe. You can also soak your filter in hot water if it is extremely dirty. Clean non-washable, permanent HEPA filters using a vacuum to remove dust and debris.

Probably best to buy a replacement.

Anyone who uses gasoline to clean an air filter - needs to re-think that. Gas totally ruins the seams and shortens the life of foam air filters. Gasoline is far too harsh a solvent to clean an air filter. Use something a bit "softer" like Kerosene or even Diesel. These will help your air filter last much longer. Where, sure, gasoline will clean the filter, and many people have been using it for years to clean foam air filters, but, really, gas is horrible for cleaning air filters in the long run. Not to mention how dangerous it is.

If you want to save money, and NOT have to buy air filters as often, do NOT use gasoline to clean it. Use Kerosene or gentler solvents. Any good mechanic will tell you the same.

Water leaking in split unit common, due to air filter & evaporator coil dust blocked- Clean it.
Drain pan and drain hose dust blocked-clean it. And also due to less rpm of indoor motor, there will be forming ice over the coil result to water leaking while defrosting.Replace motor capacitor.

It should help to reduce the amount of air borne dust in your home. The filter can be cleaned either by vacuuming the lint screen or removing it and washing it with hot water and using a toothbrush to remove any dust buildup. Clean the purification plate with a 50/50 solution of water and amonia and a toothbrust to clean the grids. Allow both to dry completely before reinstalling. Make sure that the lint filter has the clip depressing the safety switch when reinstalling it. Hope this helps you.

Found on the net:

The Panasonic air filter is located BEHIND the removable Front Panel.....it pops off and you should see it located in a "screwed in" panel.

But, it MAY be located on the BACK or side.....LOOK for a Grille with a grey or black foam piece. IF you don't find it behind or beside the TV, then pull off the Front panel.

Now, those foam filters can be removed from the grille-plate to be washed......the best way to wash it is to PUSH the dust out of the filter by turning the Clean-side of the filter TOWARDs your water source (the faucet or the Much-preferred Kitchen Sprayer)....Now get that DUST OUT!
Once finished cleaning just shake all the water out of the foam panel. Snap it just like you're snapping somebody with a towel. Still Moist? Don't worry, the plenum on the TV is pretty long and "moisturized air" won't hurt the bulb......

Reassemble it......

And DO NOT let that filter go that long between Cleanings!! It EXTENDS the life of the bulb when maintained regularly.

where is the air filter located in the tv

I'm not sure what your question is, but you need to replace the air filter and in the future, don't clean the foam filter in gasoline. They will deteriorate with time, but gas will speed up that process. Wash it in dishwashing detergent next time.

what i normally do, is i take off the top of the and remove the filter, the metal dust catcher, and the back filter... i was the 2 filters and rub them down. then with the metal dust catcher i take a butter knife. wrap it in a clorox wipe (making sure that no metal is exposed to scratch) then i feed it through the metal dust catcher one at a time to clean it. It took me 5 wipes to clean the whole thing. when the wipe comes out black then i rotate it. As for the top of the machine. there are 2 screws that i removed to get to the fan. when they were out i used a can of air (like you would clean a computer with) and blew out the fan... it took care of all noise and it runs just like the day i got it.

Hi,

Problems such as this (missing) on gasoline engines is due to water seeping into the rubber boot/protector/cover of the sparkplugs. Corrective measures would require that said rubber boots be removed (one at a time) and compressed air sprayed to clear out the moisture/water. Additionally, the same could be done to the distributor cap, all the high tensions wires (and the ignition coil if exposed and not internal).

Cutting out would be more of a air/fuel contamination problem, water might have gotten in to the air filter and is being sucked into the engine combustion chamber. In this case, it would be necessary to remove the air filter to clean and ensure that no water is inside the air filter basin.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
