The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and aims to solve the problem that the self-cleaning control mode of an existing air conditioner is generally slow in frosting speed,so that the whole self-cleaning time is long, and the normal experience of a user is influenced. In order to solve the problem, the invention provides a self-cleaning control method for an air conditioner. The air conditioner comprises a refrigerant circulation system and a solution circulation system composed of an indoor solution film, an outdoor solution film, a liquid pump and a liquid storagetank; the self-cleaning control method comprises the following steps that under the heating working condition, frequency reducing is carried out on a compressor, a four-way valve is reversed, frequency ascending is carried out on the compressor, an indoor fan of the air conditioner is closed, and the rotating speed of the liquid pump is improved, so that an indoor heat exchanger is frosted; afterthe indoor heat exchanger is frosted, an electronic expansion valve is closed firstly, and then an electromagnetic valve at the low pressure side of the compressor is closed after a preset time; andthe indoor heat exchanger is heated, so that the indoor heat exchanger is subjected to defrosting cleaning. According to the self-cleaning control method for the air conditioner, the self-cleaning efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger can be improved, and the user experience can be improved.
