Thank you! Had no idea about air conditioners. It was dripping onto my wall, most likely from a blocked evacuation duct (it was newly installed last winter, not sure how that happened). So what I did was disassemble the front part and tilted it some more so that it dripped from the blade fan, into a large bowl. It got us through June like this, when one day we noticed the bowl stopped filling. The evacuation duct cleared itself of the debris, and now the condensation drips outside again. Now its September, and we are on the last days were we need the AC. I managed today to put it back and take out the paper I slit in for tilting it more. Learned a little bit about how air conditioners work, and fixed it myself. Feels great. Hope you have a great day!

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.

I’m so mad! My until stopped working last night. I have either this exact model or one that’s super close to it. When I got it, they told me they are super easy to maintain, just pull out the filter things once ever few weeks & rinse off, put back in & that’s it. Water was dripping, so I tuned it off & left it. Came to YT & found this video. I didn’t know the blower wheel needed cleaned like that. I live in the country where we get horrible wind (Eastern Oregon), it’s hot AF in summer & always dusty. I just looked at mine & that thing is GROSS! It literally looks like dried mud on it. Thankfully my husband it’s good at things like this & is gonna take it apart now to clean it. Our one upstairs stopped working last year. I bet the blower wheel is so bad that it can’t rotate. I’m so thankful you did this. You’ve saved us a headache & a lot of money. Thank you!!!

Good thing to do as well is blow out the drain line from the inside when you have the drain pan unmounted. I just use a nitrogen tank with an a/c line set flush attachment and as little nitrogen pressure as needed. Helps eliminate the service calls for water dripping down the wall because the drain pan is clogged (which is more than half of them from my experience).

Be sure to inspect the wheel and determine if it's good enough to go back in. Some mini splits have a rubber end holding the shaft that acts as a flex coupler. If that wears out and gets too soft a perfectly cleaned wheel will vibrate even with a new motor and bearings.

This is the method with Mitsubishi units. Most other units don’t require the pan to drop, and have a bushing/bearing on the far end of the wheel that needs to be dealt with. Some Daiken units don’t even have a set screw making then even easier to clean. Which is a good thing because for some reason Daiken units seem to get dirty the fastest.

Hello, I have a Senville SENL24CD/IX. I am needing to remove the squirrel cage fan but there is no access to the motor retaining screw. Based on the maintenance manual it looks as though the evaporator needs to be lifted up on the motor side to access the retaining screw. Unfortunately the refrigerant lines going through the wall will not allow me to raise the evaporator. Is this the design? It's basically impossible to do unless I pull the unit off the wall way high in the air just for routine service? Thank you, Michael Hrischuk

A company cleaned our blower wheel but it seemed that after they hosed it off they came back soon after, i.e. returned it without any really long drying period. How long in light spring sun (80 degrees in Florida) would it take for something like that to dry? I am afraid that maybe the guy who did it did not dry it thoroughly before returning it to the unit. He did turn the ac on right afterwards I think, at least briefly but don't really remember. So what happens if water and dampness was still clinging to that blower wheel? Mold?
