Take both engine covers off. Yep, two of them. One is buried beneath the closet bottom rail so you have to take the closet doors off. Not an easy chore the first or second time.
From then on I put screws in differently and shortened the (valence)(molding), part over the doors. It was difficult getting it out around the slides. You cannot notice the 1/4 inch missing when reinstalled. To reinstall I use a few sheet rock screws. The dark heads blend right in.
To find the second smaller hatch cover you need to poke around the carpet in the closet. A sharp awl will find the edges. Just cut along the edges. Once you have the covers off lay a piece of plywood down to lie on. Using a small garden sprayer with simple green or Dawn soap and water soak the fins and let them sit for some time. Rinse and repeat. Do NOT use a pressure washer of course.
If it has never been cleaned from the inside you will need to do this several times.
While you are in there change the filter that lives on top of the engine below the long red cover. Not cheap and often get overlooked.
