How to clean your Mitsubishi starmex aircon | wallmounted

[@mmaaRkers]

I know im late but this really helped. Last night, my aircon started dripping water and now its perfectly fine. Didnt even need to call for help, thanks so much

[@BonMj]

Glad it helped

[@tenacity0514]

This is one of the most detailed video on disassembly and reassemble the FCU. most other video take the lazy way out and just tell viewers to do it the reverse way to assemble back but that is the part where things go wrong. Appreciate the effort.

[@BonMj]

Thanks

[@janeteoh89]

Thanks a million for this video that allows me to see the inside of the air conditioner. Now I realize I almost got scammed today by the airconman to do a chemical overhaul. Told me i need a CO to stop the leak, stating the drain “beside” the coil was chocked hence water leaking from air-con. He demonstrated by pouring water on the top of the coil towards the back and water indeed leaked out from the air-con. By doing that the water doesn’t flow into drain pan that’s why it’s leaking. In the end i went ahead with normal servicing which includes vacuuming of the drainage outlet which i assume that solved the leaking issue. After watching this video i got to know the inside of the air-con and there no drain on the side of the coil. Lesson learned. Good to educate ourselves 😊

That's why they are called air'conman'. Con us with all kind of bs and expect us to take their expensive package. I took a skills future course on aircon cleaning and learnt a lot. You guys should attend the course :)

Great video, missed watching as I dismantled and clean same model 2 days ago - watched another which took out the drain pan too, but very troublesome. So I didn't like what you did. Unfortunately did not fix back blower correctly and tighten the RHS blower screw. Aircon unable to start with the 2 LED green lights blinking. Next day service man fix it within 2 mins. I suggest you highlight this that the blower need to rotate into correct position before tightening. Also I spent much time fixing back drain tray; but you did it so easily.. Haha. Thanks once again for this video.

Great help with me cleaning on my own. But sadly, after cleaning and assembling everything back to its original state. The aircon start producing this ticking noise that is annoying, with a push of the top or the unit, the noise disappear and then comes back after awhile. Any idea what have I done wrong?

[@BonMj]

Using Wet - vacuum pump. Nowadays new condo is using stack pipe, locate at toilet on top of ceiling. 1)remove the transparent hose and clean it, vacuum the drainage pipe both side. 2)old type condo normally is locate at flow trap inside toilet, remove the flow trap cover, the piping is inside,using small size tube to push in at the drainage pipe and joint to the vacuum pump.

I live in a RENTAL apartment that has a Mitsubishi A/C wall unit, so I'm not allowed to take my unit apart. Is there an easier, less intrusive way for me to clean the unit and especially get rid of that MOLDY smell when I turn the unit on? (I tried to tell the landlord about it but it's anybody's guess when he might do something about it or send a professional out to look at it...) I know that I can open up the large cover on the front and remove the white plastic, curved 'filter' that is right under the cover..and that I can wash it...but my experience is that it doesn't help very much...esp with the moldy smell. I seem to recall reading somewhere, however, that there is a way to RUN the A/C system...maybe for a few hours or so...on a particular setting...and that THAT alone can sometimes help to almost 'clear' the unit of mold?

[@BonMj]

Suggest you try to dismantle the blower wheel and wash with cif.

I have 2 green lights on. It seems that it is not cooling as well. I have done all shown. Do I need to have the coolant checked? Is that done on the outside unit? I hired an ac repair company and they didn't do any of this other than show me how to work the controls. I have a disability where I need to stay in 61 degrees and in the afternoon with all the windows blocked I heat up to 66 to 71 with outside air being 80. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

2green light on mean no error,aircon is working find. For your case not cold need to check coolant and what is the ambient temperature?? 61degree is indoor or outdoor? Or may be your aircon cooling capacity is under size.

[@jeppberg1092]

How to fix the water leaking dripping from the air-con ?

[@Brxndn_AC]

Sounds like a mini lime pump issue, take the front cover off if it’s a wall mounted unit you should have a lime or white and orange coloured pump, make sure the drain hose is correctly on, make sure the drip tray isn’t full of crap causing a blockage and if it’s not put a glass of water into the drip tray to see if the water is draining if not get a service engineer to take a look 👍

Hey love this video. Appreciate this so much. However after I have placed the blower and the drain back. After turning it on after few seconds. There’s a vibration noise cmg from the right side. I suspected it might be loose somewhere after removing the drain part. I have tightened all screws but I believe at the right side of the lamp indicator has no screw so it’s just ensuring it’s secured well but still have a vibration noise. Haha it was not cold and silence before now after I meddle with it it’s colder but with an annoying sound. help please. 😅
