Understanding Swamp Cooler Parts

If you want to tackle evaporative cooler repairs, you first need to know a little bit about the parts that make them work. They include:

• Float: An overflowing swamp cooler may be caused by a faulty float. Located in the bottom of a swamp cooler, this part rises along with the water level, shutting the water supply valve off when needed to prevent overfilling.
• Pads: Evaporative cooler pads inside of the swamp cooler cool down air as it passes through.
• Blower: This part draws air into the swamp cooler, so it can be cooled down by the swamp cooler pads, and then pushes it out to cool off the room.
• Blower motor: Evaporative cooler motors power the blower. If yours goes bad, the air may not cool properly, the swamp cooler may not turn on or the unit might operate noisily.
• Pump: Evaporative cooler pumps shuttle water from the tank through the water distribution lines to keep the pads wet. Signs of a failing pump include consistently dry pads and a lack of cool air.

If you're unsure what the specific cause of your swamp cooler problem is, consult your owner's manual. You're likely to find troubleshooting tips in the instructions. By following them, you may be able to diagnose and correct many common issues.

Routine Maintenance with Swamp Cooler Pads and More

Preventative maintenance can help extend the life of your swamp cooler and cut down on the need for repairs. Evaporative cooler pads typically need to be cleaned twice per year and replaced every two to three years. Consult your owner's manual for specific advice about how frequently to clean and change your swamp cooler pads.

It's also important to clean the outside of your swamp cooler regularly, usually once every week. To do so, simply unplug the unit and wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. The water reservoir should also be removed and cleaned at least once per season with mild soap and water.
