Thank you my man, this detailed video gave me the confidence to try the maintenance myself and save some money in these times 👊🫡 2€ as a thank you for the time making it. Much Love Outta Belgium
I watched the other video about cleaning the air con with millions of views, and the guy just waffled on and on and on. This is the perfect video, straight to the point, perfect everything. You should definitely be nominated for an Academy Award or something.
There is no better tutorial out there. The exact right amount of instruction, words, and demonstration. Perfect . What you tube is all about. Even I could do this because of this video. You’re a star. Well done
Thanks for the video. My Mitsubishi unit was a little different but I figured it out. To anyone hesitating about removing the blower wheel, do it. Mine was so disgustingly dirty I can't believe I was breathing the air that blew through it. This was an extremely messy and tedious cleaning job, but I'm glad I finally did it.
My aircon unit is also different from the poster's. For me was that i was able to remove the drum, but after cleaning I wasn't able to slot it back, drum's right hand side just won't slot in. I had to call for a aircon cleaning guy, he just use a sandpaper (that I managed to find in my store room) and sand a bit on the drum's right hand side cylindrical pin, and it slotted in without much of a problem. He mentioned my aircon model is one of the toughest to put back the drum, and usually he would clean the drum in-place. I bet this was the easiest S$50 he made, ever! Would I try removing the drum again? LOL, I think not, I could had damage other thing, like the compressor/gas pipe or other stuff while trying to slot in the drum. Maybe next time I will try those water-spray/water-collector-cover-thingy kit and clean without taking out the drum.
This is the best 'how to clean the split air-con unit' video on the net. The choice of scenes, editing and commentary are at pro-level. And by the way: Your cleaning job is better than what most companies would do. Thanks a lot for this cool work!
Always wanted to do this and never thought I'd be able to do it. This is probably the best tutorial I've ever seen with clear and detailed instructions step by step. I just managed to clean 1 of my unit and it feels great! Thank you sooooooo much for the wonderful tutorial! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is very very similar to my 2 year old Fujitsu indoor units. They've stunk every couple of weeks since 1 year after the system was fitted. I booked a deep cleaning where the engineer who visited sprayed the coils and did nothing else. I have finally cleaned the blower units in each machine and due to the disassembly, found 2 of them had severely pinched condensate drain runs, which I have now resolved. Thank you for posting this video.
Great guide for removing the blower! The one thing that I do differently is to spray the vaporizer (cooler unit/ radiator) with a an AC disinfectant solution before putting the cover back on. It will then rinse itself with the condensation if you leave the unit on for 20-30 minutes. I also use the same solution for the filters after washing them.
I followed another video’s instructions a couple years ago to clean one of my units for the first time on my own. It was good, but man, I wish yours had existed then. So much great detail, especially the zoomed-in insets. ❤ I made it through, but I think I aged about a year in the process. 😱 Was so scared to break something on this quite expensive (to me) necessity. Glad to see you having to jiggle some parts to “persuade” them to come out. It wasn’t just me 😅. It’s videos like this that have allowed me to save thousands of $ (no joke). Installer didn’t warn me about this maintenance and charged me $600+ to come out to clean ONE unit that was blowing out mildewy air. Used another HVAC company the next time, but their idea of cleaning was pretty sad. Didn’t remove the blower wheel; just sprayed some (appropriate) cleaner on the coils. When I asked him about the blower wheel, he said he didn’t know how to do that 😮. I have 3 units, so had to DIY it or go broke 😠. Thank you!
@annewithrow826 thanks for sharing it's interesting to read your back story. I'm glad my video helped, and big thank you for sending the Super Thanks ❤️💰 😊👍
Thank you so much for this info - I didn't realise the blower wheel came out until I watched your video.. our unit is only 3 years old but was full of mould that I could not get to. It's made a world of difference!
Thank you, following your guide I took everything apart, cleaned and disinfected it. It was insanely gross and dirty. I had to do this myself, because all the service companies will charge you and basically do nothing. I was willing to pay people to clean my AC but NO ONE WANTS TO DO IT! Even for OUTRAGEOUS sums of money. Lazy scammers all of them!!! THANK YOU MY GOOD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I just finished cleaning my mini-split using your video as a guide. Well done! I didn't have the confidence before, but your video gave me the nudge I needed. Also, one tip, don't install the blower wheel all the way to the right (flush up against the side) - it will make a rubbing noise when rotating. I backed mine off about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch to the left before tightening the screw and it runs silent.
My AC has been making some terrible grinding noises at 3am, I wake up and turn it off as fast as possible. I've put it down to the fan. It's also not nearly as cold as before. I've called dudes in due to not being cold and they just power wash it for lots of money. I'm not calling anyone again. I found this video and I've watched this video 4 times and am ready to give it a go! Hopefully I can find out what is causing the grinding, and clean it out myself at the same time. Much appreciated! :)
After 1 year of continuous use mine stopped being as chilling as it used to be during the first 4-5 months of install due to dust & grime, i decided to deep clean mine, didn't have the confidence to do it untill i watched this detailed video, did everything accordingly and everything works just fine, great video..
Brilliant video. My mums aircon is beyond disgusting hasn't been cleaned for 5 years 😮 now I can do it myself and save $200-300. Brilliant!!!! Thankyou so much
This is the video I’ve been looking for!! I could not find an ac cleaning video better than this - so Thank You!! The details, step by step, the camera work - all so helpful. Some people making videos like this seem to forget that this is a job we have never done before - I need the details & I can’t afford to miss a step. So, BIG thank you. New sub. :)
Just paid SGD160 to a freaking scam shop LY AIRCON to do chemical wash . . .but my fan blower wasn't even taken out for washing. ... Gonna DIY! Thanks to your video - Clearest on the entire world wide web I believe. 😃
Your a lifesaver man. Im american living in japan and i busted the roller blower when i was cleaning it. Now i know what its called to replace it and how to clean this properly.
Boy, I needed your video yesterday!! I watched about 10 videos on cleaning my Mitsubishi. Try as I might for a couple of hours, I couldn’t get the wheel out! This was my first cleaning attempt after one year’s use. You video is definitely the most detailed, best close-ups and best complete description! I had to clean the wheel the best as I could while it was still in place, but I will know how to do it next time, thanks to you! I really appreciate it! It’s amazing and disgusting how dirty and slimy these things get. Great instructional video!
Thank you! Yes it's amazing how dirty the wheel can get. The satisfaction when you finally clean it out. Keep us posted when you get to remove the wheel next time.
Doesn’t it seem like the Mitsubishi dealer / installer should have mentioned that these need frequent deep cleaning? I’m doing this 3x’s + a year in Florida.
Thwnk you for the precise explanation and close up in-video to show how it is done. Never seen such clarity in other help videos. You have done a great service to all Mitsubishi aircon owners. With your video I can pluck up courage to service my aircon! Some parts are challenging (blower unit and the external cover). Again, many thanks.
Great very detailed but simple to understand video,followed the instructions and cleaned my 3 split systems myself on Saturday.Would have cost me $180 to get someone to come out an do this instead.
An excellent video with specific and nice close up shots. Best video yet. I clean my own unit and have used these videos for “reference refreshers” before I do my annual service. Only thing to add like another comment is to spray and clean/disinfect the fins (metal coils) with a cleaner which they sell at most hardware stores. It cleans and conditions the metal and helps future corrosion. Easy one step spray to add while your at it. Thanks again for a great video which will be used as my reference for future!
One heads up is to find a cleaner that's for coil cleaning because if you use some other random cleaner it can make the metal coils corrode in future so have to use the right cleaner.
I watched a lot of other videos on how to clean a Mitsubishi A/C, but this one is the best. Thanks for the clear, step by step instructions, with up close visuals. Thanks!!
you are a life saver! Tutorial was easy to follow and gives me confidence to try this at home. Ive been wiping and dabbing cloths where i can get too, but never fully removed the mold and crud from inside the blower. Thanks
By the time I got to this video I was tired of seeing stuff that was at least funny. This is really a step by step video, how to clean the indoor unit , clear picture, English you understand. Thank you very much!!
I have seen some of the UA-cam video on how to clean the indoor unit but they are not so clear as this. Thank you sir for this clear and detail explanation.
@@sosolomon22 I have subscribed. If you also know know how to disable the loud beep that comes on each time the remote control button is pressed, please put up a similar video. Thanks!
Great video, saving people money! You're providing a great service to people... I've got an HVAC buddy and I asked him to check the pressure of my freon. I told him I'd read that low freon will cause freezing over. He said yes, as well as dirty filters and blower wheel. I'd never thought the blower wheel would have such an impact, but I'd also noticed diminished air flow... waiting till sunset to pull blower wheel. My filters have never really been dirty, each time I cleaned them.
You should move the whole radiator a bit more out of the way and remove the fan under a smaller angle to avoid damaging the bearing. Also if you do not leave enough space, you could damage the fan while removing it. (Which you almost did in Your video) If you live an environment where people are burning stuff, or just your air quality is really bad (polluted), you will get a sticky residue on the fan, and also inside the radiator blades, and the plastic walls. You shall remove those first, even by applying some de-greaser first and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. After that, i recommend some pressure wash, as regular brushing and soaking won't remove all the fungus and bacteria trap on those greasy deposits, so you will regrow them in the matter of weeks. (And you will have to redo the whole process again) Never use base liquids on your aluminium radiator, or it will leak. The "Spindle holder" is actually the rubber bushing of the sleeve / ball bearing on the fan, prior to re-installing it, you should check if it has enough OIL in it, otherwise it will run dry and damage the axle. (Also it will run noisy)
can you help, what grease is used to lubricate that rubber part on the left side where the turbine is inserted? I see that the factory is something white/gray, is it some kind of Teflon grease?
@@mateokidsvideochannel You mean inside the bearing? If it is a self-adjusting bearing bead (porous one, used by cheap brands) you can use fan oil. If it is ball bearing, you should use appropriate grease there. (Just ask your local hardware store which one they recommend) And you do not lubricate the rubber part, that is only there for shock / noise reduction, the bearing inside of it must be lubricated. (You can take them apart to see it better, they are not glued together)
Tq sir.. Really helps me how to open the casing and I manage to clean the fan and the tray as well.. Otherwise everyday got leaking.. After run the test 30mins no leaking I put it back the casing... Thank you again and may God bless u.. 😊
Thank you sir for the clear video showing all the steps . The shot to show where the screw holding the blower was so good. ! Even a noob like me managed to do the servicing. 😂
One of the best DIY videos I've yet to see and I'm always DIYing. The detailed sequential algorithm/process and the close-up shots were wonderfully effective in disseminating the transfer of knowledge. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your video! I am a new home owner and I found my air-con units were full of mold! Although my units were a different brand and a little older, I was still able to use your guidance to take them apart and give them a good clean.
Excellent! Million times thank you! I did follow your instructions and worked. Also I have found out that I paid too much for so so aircon "deep cleaning". Thank you for sharing knowledge with us. Really appreciate it
Thank you for posting this, I have a Daikin unit so the screws might be different but the principle should be the same and your video with clear step by step instructions has given me the confidence to tackle my unit. It hasn't been cleaned in 5 years so there's probably a scary amount of build up in there 😁
@@sosolomon22 so I tackled the job just this last weekend, the level of build up was very scary, the blower fins were completely caked in grime and mould so its no wonder it was struggling to keep the place cool. I took photos but cant share them here. Main differences between my Daikin and the Mitsubishi you show here is that they used more screws, such as the screws instead of catches for the drain tray, and the blower wheel did not have a retaining screw, instead its held in place by a large ring magnet. All in all, the main principles were the same and again I thank you for such a well detailed tutorial that gave me the confidence to tackle this task and save me a lot of money.
@Sniffy1975 sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing the details on the Daikin unit. It will come useful for Daikin users. And thank you for the Super Thanks reward ❤️😊👍🎉🎉
I'm newlyweds and so lucky to found your channel, cause I'm still learning all basic skills like this, I hope you keep the good work sir, and again thank you 🙏🏼 sorry for my bad english
Great video. However, like many other air-con cleaning DIY videos, the biggest elephant in the room is the cooling fins, which is the most important part of the Aircon unit, remain untouched...
Great video, gave me the confidence to access the unit and remove all of the mould. If you have a 2020 + model there is no need to remove front directors. They come out with the drain tray. Cabling is the problem, small wires to vane motors, awkward. Hope this helps others. Many thanks . Mike
@@sosolomon22 it did ! just finished cleaning mine for the first time, it just the part of the roller blower was harder, and more technical to get it out, but without your vid . would be much harder, thanks brother keep up the good work
I just clean my ac, especially the cylinder fan, after this video...LG brand...i believe even brand different but the concept is there...really helpful ..tq so much sir... Luckily nothing break during the process.. 😂
thanks for the upload but i gave up half way.. and called professional techs , paid them and its done now.... im not good with this kinda stuff but your video was very informative
Great instructions but I also cleaned the coils with foam cleaner and rinsed off. I had mold! Next time I’m going to use a plastic hood cover that they sell online. I used my own makeshift and it was a little messy but it worked. Next I’m going to check the unit outside to make sure there are no problems with the outdoor unit.
Sure please use it and share the link. Pardon my use of the wrong words to describe the parts though. 😅 And I don't mind receiving a Super Thanks from the company. 😅
Great video. Wish I saw this one first. These are great air conditioners, but this necessity to clean it this thoroughly, and frequently takes some of the pleasure away. Many people will resort to a professional and they charge big. When I though something was really broken all it needed was the blower cleaned. $280 later, I do it myself now. Not a fun job.
Fantastic video. I am having trouble with the blower. It’s not spinning fast when I put it back. It’s like it is too tight on each side. I’ve taken the unit apart twice now. I’m not sure if I should grease the bearing. I did everything you did in your video. This was the best one I’ve seen.
Things that come to mind: 1. Tighten the set screw that holds the blower wheel on the spindle. 2. Friction on either end of the blower wheel. Move blower wheel to the center so it's not touching either end. 3. Bearing is worn, dirty, or needs greasing. 4. The rubber holder on the left is not positioned properly. 5. Motor is broken. Hope one of these helps.
@@sosolomon22 I have been a little busy, but am going to attempt it again tomorrow. Thanks for the follow up! I’ll definitely check out some of your other videos.
Wow this is really well explained. I need maintanance now to my AC unit and I will still call a specialized guy to take a look maybe it's the freon... but I just appreciate a lot the way you presented it this detailed... I know it took a lot of time to set up everything to show it this way. Congrats you deserve the views :)
What an easy to follow detailed explanation. You are very good 👍. Thank you very much. I was afraid I might break something but you made it look easy. I’m very confident now 😂
@@Jaspervandenberg great to know that TCL Aircon cleaning maintenance is similar. I'm glad the video worked for you. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! 😊
Man... Thank you for this detailed guide! I couldnt get past drain pan! Getting the blower out was really a wrestle! Managed to get the blower cleaned easily after seeing this video. Thanks alot!

By the time I got to this video I was tired of seeing stuff that was at least funny. This is really a step by step video, how to clean the indoor unit , clear picture, English you understand. Thank you very much!!
You're welcome. Your comment means a lot to me thank you! 😊👍
I have seen some of the UA-cam video on how to clean the indoor unit but they are not so clear as this. Thank you sir for this clear and detail explanation.
Yes, a very clear guide with excellent videography. I have watched many other DIY videos and this is by far the most helpful!
Thank you for watching, subscribe and share ☺️
@@sosolomon22 I have subscribed. If you also know know how to disable the loud beep that comes on each time the remote control button is pressed, please put up a similar video. Thanks!
This is the perfect video on air conditioner cleaning, straight to the point, everything explained perfectly. Thanks a lot!
@Djanchate_B. you're welcome and thank you. Please share the video link with family and friends 👍
You should do all of the how-to videos on UA-cam. Well done.
Thank you 😊👍 I wish so too 😂
Great video, saving people money!
You're providing a great service to people... I've got an HVAC buddy and I asked him to check the pressure of my freon. I told him I'd read that low freon will cause freezing over. He said yes, as well as dirty filters and blower wheel.
I'd never thought the blower wheel would have such an impact, but I'd also noticed diminished air flow... waiting till sunset to pull blower wheel. My filters have never really been dirty, each time I cleaned them.
You should move the whole radiator a bit more out of the way and remove the fan under a smaller angle to avoid damaging the bearing. Also if you do not leave enough space, you could damage the fan while removing it. (Which you almost did in Your video)
If you live an environment where people are burning stuff, or just your air quality is really bad (polluted), you will get a sticky residue on the fan, and also inside the radiator blades, and the plastic walls. You shall remove those first, even by applying some de-greaser first and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. After that, i recommend some pressure wash, as regular brushing and soaking won't remove all the fungus and bacteria trap on those greasy deposits, so you will regrow them in the matter of weeks. (And you will have to redo the whole process again)
Never use base liquids on your aluminium radiator, or it will leak.
The "Spindle holder" is actually the rubber bushing of the sleeve / ball bearing on the fan, prior to re-installing it, you should check if it has enough OIL in it, otherwise it will run dry and damage the axle. (Also it will run noisy)
شكراً
can you help, what grease is used to lubricate that rubber part on the left side where the turbine is inserted? I see that the factory is something white/gray, is it some kind of Teflon grease?
@@mateokidsvideochannel You mean inside the bearing? If it is a self-adjusting bearing bead (porous one, used by cheap brands) you can use fan oil. If it is ball bearing, you should use appropriate grease there. (Just ask your local hardware store which one they recommend)
And you do not lubricate the rubber part, that is only there for shock / noise reduction, the bearing inside of it must be lubricated. (You can take them apart to see it better, they are not glued together)
This is super super useful. I did it a few times but not able to get the main over and roller out effectively. Your tips are truly great
Thank you and I'm glad it helped
Thanks for putting up this step by step guide. Appreciate your efforts :)
After watching your video aircon tutorial ...we have the courage to clean or own aircon...thanks save money n proud ..thanks again aircon now cold👍🙏
You're welcome and thank you. Please share video link with your friends 😊👍
Great instruction. Clear, concise, covers all the points of difficulty, and is pretty universal. Thanks so much!
Perfect explanation! We were able to clean the blower roller the first time, what no professional cleaning service did before. Many thanks!
This is an EXCELLENT video. Location of screws are all clearly visible. Best aircon washing video by far!
Thanks for the appreciation Bryan!
In my recent dismantle and wash, after I place everything back together, the aircon is very noisy…. Any idea why and how to fix it?
Tq sir.. Really helps me how to open the casing and I manage to clean the fan and the tray as well.. Otherwise everyday got leaking.. After run the test 30mins no leaking I put it back the casing... Thank you again and may God bless u.. 😊
Followed this step by step and was successful all the way. Thank you so very much for this excellent tutorial!
Glad it was a success for you. Thank you for watching!
This is the best video available on UA-cam for cleaning a Mitsubishi mini split. I’ve now used it 2 times in 2 years. Thank you!
Happy to know. Please keep using and share the link to friends 😊👍 thank you
Excellent instruction video. You show attention to detail with great use of close-up photography. Well done!👍
Thank you for watching, subscribe and share ☺️
Absolutely could not figure out how to get my drain pan off till I found your video. Thanks a ton, you are the man!!
Thank you 😊👍
Thank you sir for the clear video showing all the steps . The shot to show where the screw holding the blower was so good. !
Even a noob like me managed to do the servicing. 😂
You're welcome and thank you! Please share the video link 😊👍
Great video. They also make foaming a/c coil cleaner which will give the coils a super clean. It is worth considering adding this step.
Thank you. And good suggestion 👍
Very well done !!! Straight to the point. Thank You!
Thank you!
Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I cleaned my Samsung air conditioner for the first time in 6 years. There was black mold everywhere.
👀 oh my gosh. Glad it helped 👍
This was soo detailed and helpful. No time wasting but showing every step. Thank you so much.
Just did similar to my LG unit and am grateful for your guidance on the blower impeller removal!
Amazing tutorial...😊
One of the best DIY videos I've yet to see and I'm always DIYing.
The detailed sequential algorithm/process and the close-up shots were wonderfully effective in disseminating the transfer of knowledge.
Much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your video! I am a new home owner and I found my air-con units were full of mold! Although my units were a different brand and a little older, I was still able to use your guidance to take them apart and give them a good clean.
Really thanks alot. My aircon have been leaking. Following the steps to clean, now aircon have not leak.
You're welcome! Please help me like and share thank you 😊
Finally someone who talk while cleaning, easier to understand thanks a lot!
Btw it is the same method with my Gree AC?
Thank you. I'm not sure about Gree. Try it and see if the screws are at the same places. Let us know.
Excellent! Million times thank you! I did follow your instructions and worked. Also I have found out that I paid too much for so so aircon "deep cleaning". Thank you for sharing knowledge with us. Really appreciate it
You're welcome please like and share 😊
Thank you for posting this, I have a Daikin unit so the screws might be different but the principle should be the same and your video with clear step by step instructions has given me the confidence to tackle my unit. It hasn't been cleaned in 5 years so there's probably a scary amount of build up in there 😁
Please let us know the level of scary when you find out 😅
@@sosolomon22 so I tackled the job just this last weekend, the level of build up was very scary, the blower fins were completely caked in grime and mould so its no wonder it was struggling to keep the place cool. I took photos but cant share them here.
Main differences between my Daikin and the Mitsubishi you show here is that they used more screws, such as the screws instead of catches for the drain tray, and the blower wheel did not have a retaining screw, instead its held in place by a large ring magnet.
All in all, the main principles were the same and again I thank you for such a well detailed tutorial that gave me the confidence to tackle this task and save me a lot of money.
@Sniffy1975 sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing the details on the Daikin unit. It will come useful for Daikin users. And thank you for the Super Thanks reward ❤️😊👍🎉🎉
Thank you sir for your detailed video. I will begin to clean my airpump shortly.
very detailed step by step process how to clean a split type air conditioner ..good job sir 🎉
I'm newlyweds and so lucky to found your channel, cause I'm still learning all basic skills like this, I hope you keep the good work sir, and again thank you 🙏🏼 sorry for my bad english
Congratulations newlyweds! And thank you for your comment. I will make more useful videos on here. 🙏
11:07 15/5/2023..the day I’m gonna clean my aircon..Thanks for the diy video.
your video is great, very short and demonstrative, and you helped me improve my English by listening to you, thank you very much.
Great video. However, like many other air-con cleaning DIY videos, the biggest elephant in the room is the cooling fins, which is the most important part of the Aircon unit, remain untouched...
Great video, gave me the confidence to access the unit and remove all of the mould. If you have a 2020 + model there is no need to remove front directors. They come out with the drain tray. Cabling is the problem, small wires to vane motors, awkward. Hope this helps others. Many thanks . Mike
after 2 years, a very healpful video in youtube on how to deep clean ur bedroom wall ac
thanks man.
You're welcome. I'm glad it's helpful. Thank you
@@sosolomon22 it did ! just finished cleaning mine for the first time, it just the part of the roller blower was harder, and more technical to get it out, but without your vid . would be much harder, thanks brother keep up the good work
@@unpleasentverity7627 😊👍
You make me want to clean my aircon myself! Awesome video! So clear!
I just clean my ac, especially the cylinder fan, after this video...LG brand...i believe even brand different but the concept is there...really helpful ..tq so much sir... Luckily nothing break during the process.. 😂
You're welcome and thank you for your comment. Happy to know concept is similar for LG aircon. May I know what is your LG aircon model?
@@sosolomon22 mine is BS-C096HYA1.
More than 8/9 years.. 😂
thanks for the upload but i gave up half way.. and called professional techs , paid them and its done now.... im not good with this kinda stuff but your video was very informative
Thank you for watching and dropping a comment. Try again next time when you feel like it. 😊
Great instructions but I also cleaned the coils with foam cleaner and rinsed off. I had mold! Next time I’m going to use a plastic hood cover that they sell online. I used my own makeshift and it was a little messy but it worked. Next I’m going to check the unit outside to make sure there are no problems with the outdoor unit.
Thank you. You're way ahead. Well done! I'll put those points in my to do list.
I things not need to clean foam cleaner l am I used water only by pecher water.👍
This is one of the subject that what u will get from a college or technical school that u paid by semester 😅😅😅. God bless u n ur family brother.
The best tutorial i've seen. Much better then principal's maintenance manual. I think i can use this video as an example for company's SOP 😅
Sure please use it and share the link. Pardon my use of the wrong words to describe the parts though. 😅 And I don't mind receiving a Super Thanks from the company. 😅
Great video. Wish I saw this one first. These are great air conditioners, but this necessity to clean it this thoroughly, and frequently takes some of the pleasure away. Many people will resort to a professional and they charge big. When I though something was really broken all it needed was the blower cleaned. $280 later, I do it myself now. Not a fun job.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. It gets easier the more we do it. 😊
Thank you Solomon. That is the best instructional teaching aid on self air-con cleaning I have seen. 👍👍👍
Best video on this subject I have seen so far! It explains everything you need to know! Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you. Please share the video link 😊 👍
Fantastic video. I am having trouble with the blower. It’s not spinning fast when I put it back. It’s like it is too tight on each side. I’ve taken the unit apart twice now. I’m not sure if I should grease the bearing. I did everything you did in your video. This was the best one I’ve seen.
Things that come to mind: 1. Tighten the set screw that holds the blower wheel on the spindle. 2. Friction on either end of the blower wheel. Move blower wheel to the center so it's not touching either end. 3. Bearing is worn, dirty, or needs greasing. 4. The rubber holder on the left is not positioned properly. 5. Motor is broken. Hope one of these helps.
@@sosolomon22 I have been a little busy, but am going to attempt it again tomorrow. Thanks for the follow up! I’ll definitely check out some of your other videos.
Wow this is really well explained. I need maintanance now to my AC unit and I will still call a specialized guy to take a look maybe it's the freon... but I just appreciate a lot the way you presented it this detailed... I know it took a lot of time to set up everything to show it this way. Congrats you deserve the views :)
What an easy to follow detailed explanation. You are very good 👍. Thank you very much.
I was afraid I might break something but you made it look easy. I’m very confident now 😂
You're welcome and thank you. It wasn't easy for me but I hope the steps would make it a little easier. 😊👍
This video helped me clean my unit, not a mitsubishi but the clear instructions made it easy to aply to a different brand of aircon. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching! What's that brand may I ask?
It is a TCL
@@Jaspervandenberg great to know that TCL Aircon cleaning maintenance is similar. I'm glad the video worked for you. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! 😊
Even though I have a different AC model, this video still gave me an idea on how to disassemble my one thank you!
You're welcome and thank you. What model is your aircon?
Finally found a detailed video after searching in youtube! Just take note my 2022 model have 3 screws for the cooling fins
This is brilliant, thanks dude. I thought all we had to do was clean the filter. So much more to it if you want it really clean.
Man... Thank you for this detailed guide! I couldnt get past drain pan! Getting the blower out was really a wrestle! Managed to get the blower cleaned easily after seeing this video.
Thanks alot!
The best detailed tutorial about the cleaning process out of all similar videos I have watched on UA-cam. I wish someone could do a tutorial like that for Sanyo KS1271.
i really enjoyed watching you removing the 'LOLLEL BLOWEL. thank you for a great video.'
Haha 😄 my tongue was twisted. Thank you for watching, subscribe and share 😀
@@sosolomon22 I appreciate you taking the comment good heartedly. Don’t mean any disrespect. Really do appreciate your video. Good content.
