Since the heating season is almost upon us, I did a Sanyo cleanup today.

Just wiped off the fan blades, but had to wash down the side and top covers.
The plastic grate(grill?) where the air comes out was a bit dirty,
so I used the car-wash hose attachment on it.

I was a bit surprised at the leading edge of the fan blades. They look like
they were shaped by hand. They are very sharp! I guess that keeps them quiet.

Inspected under the insulation for any sign of leakage and everything that
I can see, looks very good.

Here's a picture link to the defective outdoor unit (sitting in the garage now)..

(You can see some lub dripping across the top of the insulation disc, on top of the compressor).

The only problems I noticed were the UPS dents in top and side covers.
The dents made it more difficult to re-install the covers.
Next time, I'm going to replace those with the undamaged covers from #1.

I'm hoping #2 is going to be a winner and will keep us warm for at least a decade or two..
