[@redtransam4u]

Great tutorial. Even I could clean up my Mitsubishi. Now I'm about to put the unit together. No way I could do it without your video. Thank you!

[@craggercragger8989]

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.

[@rhino79]

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.

[@sosolomon22]

Thanks for watching and encouraging others to do it. 👍

[@vu1tur395]

Did you have trouble removing the wheel? I’ve been at it for hours and it won’t move more than about an inch. I removed the set screw and everything

[@Mercuery]

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.

[@justinsnider2166]

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.

[@sosolomon22]

I'm happy the video helped. And thanks for adding the useful tip about the positioning of the blower wheel. 😊👍

[@hellocourage]

May I know if it is possible not to flush all the right, since there is only 1 hole to screw the blower wheel ? Pls advice.

[@merseberger]

Perfect explanation! We were able to clean the blower roller the first time, what no professional cleaning service did before. Many thanks!

[@theminermenace007]

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.

[@Sean-uc5vj]

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!

[@nicolasnabbs1648]

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.

[@Rob-vr2tb]

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.

[@poppys33d]

[@sufyanmuhd7725]

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!

[@djnor1979]

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)

[@mabr6444]

Followed this step by step and was successful all the way. Thank you so very much for this excellent tutorial!

[@sosolomon22]

Glad it was a success for you. Thank you for watching!

[@michaelohare6555]

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.

[@sosolomon22]

Thank you. And good suggestion 👍

[@deckard5558]

Thank you, great DIY video.

[@phreakor]

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.

[@sosolomon22]

Absolutely makes sense.

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!
