    Good to know they have boards. Just had a Gree LIVV smoke R1 on the board( only one on those) installed new in April. NO BOARDS AVAILABLE!!
    They gave me a condenser!👍

    A few weeks ago I got to replace the board in the condensing unit on a Mr. Cool mini split, wasn’t too bad. The original board fried because the solar company that ran the new electrical to the mini spit wired it for 230v (it was rated for 115v). This solar company covered the cost and customer was happy.

    In the disconect, your only aloud one wire under each screw per NEC unless it is a clamping type screw and these are not clamping type. Or if the listing and labeling instructions say otherwise.

    Looks like that was a high power resistor that blew, likely because something upstream of it went short circuit and the resistor became the fuse essentially.

    • @throttlebottle5906
      @throttlebottle5906 Рік тому

      probably one of the big power mosfet under the heat sink went POOF. while it could have been from lightning/power surge, probably just bad designed board, lack of thermal grease/cooling issue, vibration loosening/solder fracture. It's really hard to say without seeing the failure and multiples of them, but as quickly as they suggested replacing both boards and sent new? probably well known issues 🤔

    We have a 2 zone Air-Con mini split.
    One of the inside wall units has stopped cooling. Repair man said it’s the electric board on inside unit. They’ve been trying to secure a replacement one but no luck. Is it possible to replace just the unit in one zone only? Does it need to be Air-Con?

    I'm just not a fan of those mini splits. Good repair. Surge protector is a great idea, those things should have one built-in with all that electronics.

    • @jrmcferren
      @jrmcferren 2 роки тому

      It may not have been a power surge that took this out. It looks like something shorted across the 310 volt DC power supply. While these units have surge protection (there are three surge protection elements on the board itself), if a bad enough surge hits, it will still need the board replaced as the surge protectors on the board will be destroyed and likely cause other damage. With the external unit, you have additional protection and a cheaper repair.

    Hi, I have a Fujitsu mini split that rarely gets used for a bonus room. I went to turn it on then other day and it does nothing! Flipped the breaker and changed out remote batteries and nothing turns on. Could I have a bad board on the inside air handler unit or something else wrong? Thanks

Out of curiosity do you charge/ bake into your cost the time spent working out the warranty board acquisition with the manufacturer? I do here in Ga. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
