After stopping the use of the cooler in winter, it is very important to keep it properly so that it works well in the next summer. If the cooler is not cleaned and stored properly, fungus, dust, and dirt can accumulate inside it, which can impair its performance. Here are some tips that should be followed before storing the cooler.
drain the water completely
Completely empty the water accumulated in the cooler. Leaving water out can cause fungus and bacteria to grow in it, which can cause bad smell and health problems.
clean thoroughly
After draining the water, clean the cooler completely. Clean its inner tank, fan and cooling pads thoroughly. You can use an anti-bacterial cleaner in the tank so that bacteria do not grow.
Dry the cooling pads
Cooling pads often contain moisture, which can deteriorate during winter. Dry the pads completely. If the pads become too dirty or old, you may also want to consider replacing them for the next summer.
Clean the fan and blades
Dust accumulates on the fan and blades, which affects the air quality of the cooler in summer. Keep the blades clean and dry to avoid accumulation of dust and dirt.
Check power cable and switch
Check the condition of the power cable and switch. If any cut or damage is found in the cable, get it repaired or replaced so that there is no problem the next time you use it.
cover the cooler
After the cooler dries completely, cover it with a cloth or plastic cover. This will protect it from dust and moisture. By covering, the outer surface and internal parts of the cooler are also protected.
Keep in dry and safe place
Keep the cooler in a dry and ventilated place, where there is no moisture. Keeping the cooler in a humid place can cause rust and reduce its lifespan.
