I will agree with you.

Is there a Fujitsu video? I couldn't get to my blower wheel.

pressure washer lol..

+Armando Torres Thanks Armando!

+Phillip Joy They are always a good time.

No worries man. I didn't take it that way. Appreciate ya!

+Michael Housh 😆😆😆 Thanks brotha! Oh, they sure do! Just wait until you see Fridays mornings video. 🤢🤮

lol, no doubt ;) most are lucky to be able to remove a filter and put a new one in :))

Worked like a champ I was able to clean all 6 machines and saved $500 Thanks so much for the awesome instructions...

+Kendall Fitzgerald This process only takes me about 10 to disassemble. Never ran into one I needed to remove the entire air handler from the wall to clean.

that was my thought, can replace the whole darned thing.........

Thank you for watching. Just a garden hose will work fine. No pressure washer. Original Dawn and water mixed in a spray bottle will work just fine for cleaning.

@@HVACinSC Thank`s a lot! Just want for a clarification. What does "Dawn and water mix", please?

Dawn is just a popular brand of dish/hand soap degreaser. Mix it with water to clean the unit.

@@HVACinSC :) It is probably popular in the US :) I haven`t seen this in Aus unfortunately. And there is no choice in retail at all... Can you advise what kind of general chemicals can be used for this? Dishwashing liquid, solutions for washing machine or something special?

No clue what products you have there. Sorry

I know this is a year later and you are probably not dealing with this anymore. I searched through these comments for help with the clips because I had the same issue. I found the trick though! Unclipping it was not possible for me just by pushing down, I had to push down AND pull away from the wall. To make this much easier I started with the left side so that I could push down with one hand and pull the plastic forward at the same time with my other hand. Once this clip came undone, it made it much easier to push down and pull forward on the other clips (going from left to right moving one clip at a time). I found it much harder (impossible) to start with the middle clips. For the bottom lip of the unit, I had to push down (I thought that I could just pull it out after removing the 2 screws, but it was not the case).

I'm pushing hard and they're still latched 😂

Lee Johnson these units need very low static to operate properly. I have seen a 1" media filter attachment made for some but do not know how well it would work once they start to clog. I have also seen uv lights made for these...does anyone have any feedback on how well they work?

I have been waiting on some videos or feedback on the uv lights also.

UV kills germs/bacteria buildup on said junk when powered OFF/blower not on... blower on 24/7? =JUNK, when air flowing to cool building = JUNK maybe 10% bacteria/germs killed, the flow is just too great. without calculating it you'd need roughly 20' x 20' room of multiple HEAVY DUTY UV light to kill anything flowing past @ air flow rates of today in HAVC/R ... no I am not an engineer, but I quickly guest-i-mate things :)))))) which is most always 250% better than the "collegiate trained clowns" that are crunching the supposed real math and designing the garbage. time for a great depression again, too many fools and and world wide conglomerates into the singular cookie jar ;) housing makrte was #1 sign of impending long term downslide of doom, in-which they are attempting to play off............

Keeps service worker employed. 😉

It is niether difficult nor time consuming to clean out the filters. It is one thing that I keep on my monthly to-do list. ( I live in Cabo San Lucas where it is always summer)

Correct. It is not designedfor a homeownerto take apart. Leave it to professionals like me who do this for a living.

@@HVACinSC I have already done mine a couple of times but not before I attempted to get a clean done by companies. Frankly I’m happier to let a job like this be done by a professional, but the responses i got were miserable. One guy came out, couldn’t find a parking in 5 mins (but he “knew the area??!) and then had left, before i had time to check my phone. lol. There are lots of home maintenance i will do if pricing or availability don’t suit me. 🙂

+Video_Watcher I usually just leave everything attached to the drain pan but on the real nasty ones I prefer to pull the wire grates alone because dirt and hair get all wrapped up in them.

HVAC in SC gotcha!

Do you pull the clips outward? I’m afraid I’ll break them. Or do you pull up and towards you?

Every manufacturer is different

@@HVACinSC I just had to pull on it really hard. I thought for sure I was going to break something.

Then what am I doing here....🙄😏 Perhaps *nobody* is paying YOU to do this but they are certainly paying me. We do a few of these a week. 🤙

@@HVACinSC brother unless your charging 150 bucks just to clean that unit only, to take that unit apart that much it isn't worth it. I can clean that unit excellently with nothing more than the plastic cover off and the filters out. I dont need to take the whole unit apart like that unless I'm changing a part. But thank you for taking the time.

@Bdpjev We charge more than $150 to do this sort of deep cleaning when it is required it is absolutely worth it unless your customers enjoy breathing this garbage. We've been installing these system for 20 years and counting. If you think you can clean this as effectively without disassembly post that video. I've seen many claim this and fall far short but do you boss man. 🤙

@@HVACinSC now were talking

I cleaned our mr slim in our booth, thing looked like it had never had maintenance. My supervisor chewed me out and said i couldve costed the company hundreds and im not licensed. Thing was literally swelling my throat and casuing it to dry.

Absolutely

@@HVACinSC how to fix refrigerant leak?

@@oknadboksieovdw7296 Call a professional

Yeah... That's why I made my other 300 videos too.. 😒

+throttle bottle lol! This is a very simple process. Takes under 10 minutes to disassemble once you've done it a few times.

It's intended to NOT show homeowners how to tear apart their equipment. All my videos as stated 9n the page are for training industry professionals. Not formatted for DIYers.

@@HVACinSC Wow! You're an ass. 1) I don't see where it indicates it is for industry professionals: Here is a short tutorial on how to take apart a Mitsubishi ductless mini split for cleaning or repairs. It is a pretty simple process once you have seen it done a few times. This is the process I use to deep clean these units, general maintenance or perform many repairs. Maintenance on a ductless mini split is critical to keep up its performance. 2) Industry professionals should not have to watch a youtube video to do their job that they are LICENSED to do (God bless the person who hires someone who needs a KZfaq video to do their job that they are getting paid a lot of money for) 3) All the comments I read do not seem to be coming from "industry professionals." 4) I thanked you for the video and said it was enough to do the job ourselves. And even you admitted it would have been better if you had your GoPro And finally, 5) If you are going to post videos on KZfaq, you REALLY need to grow thicker skin and learn to take constructive criticism.

A simple "Glad you found it helpful" would have done just fine.

+Kendall Fitzgerald Yes they do! Just wait for Friday's video. 😆😆

I guess that's one way to look at it

This is for people in the industry not DIYers. Guess you listened to everything but that part. lol

@@HVACinSC People in the industry should not be watching a youtube video, they SHOULD be shown how to do it on the job. But i know thats not how things go

As soon as you start a company in this industry you can decide if your techs should or shouldn't be allowed to learn. Until then....

That was done intentionally because this wasn't made to spoon feed DIYers how to perform this process. Call a professional.
