Need advice on how to disassemble the Delonghi PAC EM82K.1
Dear community of r/hvacadvice
Today I attempted to deep clean my Delonghi Pac Em82K.1
I removed every possible screw I could find, but nothing from the outer casing would move at all except for the top display panel (and only slightly). I looked everywhere online, but could not find a guide neither by Delonghi or by other people on how to disassemble it.
Therefore I wonder if anyone here could help me figure out how to disassemble this unit so I can properly clean it, to make sure it functions as long as possible.
I have a suspicion that it is being held in place by very annoying and stubborn plastic clips. I tried prying open the top but to no avail.
I sent an e-mail to their customer support team and Delonghi responded and said "Warranty will be voided once the device is opened or disassembled" and also "due to safety reasons we will not provide instructions on how to disassemble this product".
Clearly this company is not very repair-friendly, beware of this when you are considering to buy from them.
