      Hi Jim, I think my Lennox ductless mini has been running inside my wall, and my floor buckled, wall exactly underneath unit looks as though water got to it, sparkling tape shows. I don't know what to do? SOS

    Thanks for this great video and explanation! We have the same unit you showed in the video and were able to fix the leak. Your step by step instructions and clear video showed exactly what to do. Had a little trouble getting the cover off so your pointer about the 4 tabs really helped. Also a little tricky getting the drip pan back in but again your close-up of the little ridge on each side helped.

    My mini split started leaking all over our floor. I tried the wet vac method 1st because that was the easiest, and I had one available. Immediately worked like a charm! I didn't even need to do anything to the unit inside. I will be looking at cleaning the unit just because.
    Anyone else having this issue, I would definitely recommend that course of action first. Saved me some $$. Thank you Jim! 🙏 Subscribed! 🙂

The people who installed the drain line had part of it going up hill with a slight kink in the line. This kink had a build up of dirt. Once I fixed this, everything was fine. Thanks again!

    Thanks Bud for this video!!! You are very clear and articulate but boy this is a project and I even installed my Mr Cool unit. I don't have a clog but I get a musty smell in the warmer weather when the unit is off. and when I called Me Cool, they said to put tablets in the drain pan. The problem is accessing it and i cannot find a video on how to access a Mr Cool drain pan. So I'll use what you told me and hopefully it will be doable.
    THANKS SO MUCH... STAY COOL BRO!!!

    Ok boss.... GREAT job in getting this on video!!..... YOU seem to be the man to ask this question. I bought a hybrid mini split unit and I REALLY love it!!.... It runs on 4 large solar panels here in AZ all day long without flinching without even any inverter, batteries or anything. Just run your PV wires to the AC unit and plug them in. It uses solar as the primary, then when the sun starts going down, it starts easing on the grid power little by little. FREE electricity during the day! ..... OK, my question is, Is there a function that turns OFF the water collection process? There's an app that goes with the AC unit that's pretty robust. Not too sure if I'm doing something that has made the condensation from collecting all the sudden. When I first installed it and turned it on, there was quite a bit of water coming out of the tube, now, not so much. Thoughts?

    • @DIYJIM
      @DIYJIM  Рік тому

      I’m guessing when you first started the AC the humidity level in your house was higher. Now that the humidity level is low, you will only get a small drip out of the condensate line. Should be ok thanks for watching

  • @raventree333
    @raventree333 6 місяців тому +2

    So far I cleaned my filters and vacuumed the condensate line. Nothing sucked out of the line when I used the shop vac. My mitsubishi minisplit is 6 months new, so I don't understand how it would have gotten so clogged. I've begun taking it apart as per your instructions and see if I can blow it out from inside. I hope I get put all the parts back when I'm finished!!

It doesn't have the clips to release the louvers. I can't see how to remove them. I tried removing the front cover entirely, with the louvers attached,, but the lower left corner won't budge. I don't see a screw there. Don't want to force it and break the cover.😪

    Thanks a lot for the vid! I have a strange problem with my indoor unit. The catch pan as well ad the condensate line is clear and working. The unit is also cooling but it is leaking on the flaps and drops on the floor. Do you have an idea what a rootcause could be? Could this be a problem with the refrigent level or pressure? The AC unit is clean. Thanks a lot!

    • @DIYJIM
      @DIYJIM  Рік тому +1

      Sorry really not sure, I would have said maybe it needs a cleaning but you said it is clean. Maybe once the humidity in your house levels off it will not make as much condensate, and stop dripping.

      Maybe the mounting bracket behind the unit needs adjustment. Not sure how you are going to do this without an AC technician. Hope you get it figured out.

    Ive had to vac mine everyday for the past week suddenly. All the sudden it's been pouring out around the drain pan. First time its done this in 5 years. Had some clogs before but this is really something. Usually check occasionally just getting a gentle siphon action with a hand held vac.

    What does it mean if the two lights are blinking on the inside unit....We blew everything out and cleaned the unit, changed the boards... inside and out....appreciate any insight. Outside unit was changed Dec. 2022, Inside unit 10 years old.....

  • @chargermopar

    I remove the inside unit, disassemble it and clean before reassembling. Just did it last month. The compressor will pump all the refrigerant into the outside unit then I close the valves. The amount of refrigerant lost is minimal. My unit is on an inside wall so I had to run a condensate line through 3/4 inch pvc pipe to a nearby wall. Once an iguana got stuck in there and died so i made a cover to keep future reptiles out.
