Toshiba Portable Air Conditioner - How To Fully Open, Clean, And Fix your RAC-PD1211CRU A/C!

[@espinozagerardo513]

Has anyone experience the unit constantly displaying the P1 code?

[@nathangelaonline2391]

I have not had issues with the P1 Code, sorry. a quick search online shows that code is for the reservoir being full for the dehumidifier. If I were to guess, I imagine there is either a float or sensor inside the machine that is stuck or broken. Anyone else had issues with this code showing up even with an empty reservoir? Let me know in this thread!

[@4RM57R0N6]

Yes, mine does this and thanks to this breakdown video I figured out why. The P1 code is displayed (accompanied by 8 beeps) when the lower water reservoir is full. You need to unscrew the lower reservoir cap at the bottom next to the power cord and unplug the spout. It holds ~250 mL (1 cup) of water so be ready with a towel or take it outside. I’m planning to build a stand for my unit so I can allow both drains to stay open and collect in a larger container. Add a pump and a float switch (like a toilet) and it’ll empty itself out the window with the hot air. EDIT: Forgot to add why mine kept displaying the P1 code. I found some dirt and hair had clogged the lower drain so when I would unplug it barely anything came out. Once I cleared the clog the code stoped showing up so much.

[@jessicaharper6384]

Its bc you have water in your two drain outs, I had to be constantly turning it off and emptying out the top and bottom water holder area, I went to Lowe's and bought two .5 inch tubing and connected them to the drainage holes with a clip and ran it into a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's and I no longer get the P1 CODE and it blows out cold air constantly.

[@r23456]

It is very common that in a year the lower motor that pulls the water towards the condenser to cool it and evaporate it breaks due to rust. When it stops due to rust, the tank fills and marks P1.

[@r23456]

Then you have 2 options 1) change the motor 2) put another hose (using it cold) at the bottom so that the water goes there. Performance drops 1° on very hot days

[@lenlester5963]

You saved me $400 so I sent you $50. We have birds that shed powder. I think we cleaned out about a cup of it. Thank you for showing the measurements of where to pry it open. Great job!

[@nathangelaonline2391]

Thank you so much for your generosity! I really appreciate it! I am thrilled I was able to help you out in a small way.

[@lenlester5963]

Now we have a new problem-water. It is cooling well and it’s been hot and humid. Some days the water comes out of the upper outlet and into my bucket. But some days there is a lot of water coming out at the bottom which I can’t capture. Any ideas?? Thanks.

[@nathangelaonline2391]

Based on what I could tell, there is an open catch basin towards the bottom of the unit that collects water for the lower outlet. its literally an open black tray system that fits around the innards. When I opened mine this year there was a bunch of nasty green crap in it I had to clean out. If gunk got in there and plugged it somewhere, I imagine it would fill up and overflow randomly out the bottom. I would open it up again and clean out what you can. Best of Luck!! Oh and the TOSHIBA Design department SUCKS.@@lenlester5963

[@michaelrobert666]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUU for this tutorial! I have the same unit you do. Worked perfectly for over 2 years. Then out of nowhere, after 3 minutes of the compressor running it would immediately shutdown the entire unit, beep 3 times while the LED screen flashed 88, restart and repeat the process! I was meticulous about cleaning the removable vents and maintaining enough space around the unit so this scenario had me dumbfounded. The warranty had expired and after an exhaustive/fruitless Google search to try and figure out what the fuck was going on I planned to just buy a new unit, different brand but I felt bad on giving up on the thing since it served me so well. I stumbled upon your video and it turns out I also had the same situation of dust and hair buildup in the area not easily accessible! Basically, you saved me 600 bucks and I am forever grateful to you! Thanks again!

[@Avanicole8]

Yep that's exactly what mine started doing today and your comment explain what's going on, we'll be breaking out the toothbrush tomorrow to clean it😊

[@lawrencealmirez5925]

I have the same issue but when I turn it back on after unplugging it's displaying the constant flashing 03 error. So I guess this will solve the problem?

[@kevinzajac4484]

Thank You for this video! I used your video to take my Toshiba 12k BTU unit apart. I then took front cover off (easy to do) and I foil taped the entire front of unit to make it air tight. Then put covers back on. I sealed up all the intake holes on outside with foil tape. Made a cut out out of styrofoam board. Added a second hose dedicated for intake. Was able to essentially create a dual hose unit now. So thank you again. With out your video I would have never been able to know exactly where to let open the housing.

[@nathangelaonline2391]

Wow! Way to go! I would be curious to know if your unit runs way more efficiently now. I know my unit pulls a ton of amps when it is dusty etc.

[@kevinzajac4484]

@@nathangelaonline2391 Not sure on Amps used. But I will say with the setup with the second hose for air intake. Last night when I finished this. I held a plastic shopping bag up to the intake tube at window and it sucked the bag a lot stronger than I thought it would. They claim a 2 house portable a/c is more efficient. Time will telll

[@randallsnell5767]

I have two 8000 BTU units, new this year. Both dripped water out the bottom. Thank you for the video explaining how to get the back cover off. I found that there is a wrap around piece of insulation on the suction line leaving the cooling coil, which had come un-wrapped a bit and was allowing condensation to form, and drip directly to the bottom. I wrapped the insulation back on and secured with a couple zip ties. Something to look for if yours drips out the bottom.

[@skidzy11]

I just followed the instruction to this a couple of days ago. I took the back off and the bottom coil is placed in such a way that it's almost impossible to get your hands in there to clean it, but I managed to wiggle my hand in between the copper tubing for the refrigerant or Freon or whatever and got the bulk of it off. I think it did a pretty good job, but now it's making some weird ticking noises and still periodically. The air will only come out of the right side. I bought a can of compressed air and I'll blow that in there every once in awhile. Then it'll start working properly but in my experience right now it's not a 100% fix. Even though I did clear out all of the dust and cat hair and crap off of there, but remember to clip those extra plastic pieces off, they are completely useless. They serve no purpose. They should have been clipped off at the factory when they came out of the extruder. They serve no purpose other than to impede your ability to clean the coils.

I recommend cleaning as much as you can, including that plastic cover with dish soap and water, then drying completely before reassemly. Dust can be 'sticky' so if you leave some behind it can attract more sooner and you will have to deep clean more often

It seems to me if a lot of air is allowed in bypassing the main filter that a bottom pan could be fashioned so that all air comes through the filter or if there are reasons for that airflow an intake off of the newly fashioned bottom pan with a filter could be added.my unit works great!

That sounds like it might be the temperature setting. I set mine to 62F, and it keeps cooling now. Or it could need cleaning. The only other thing I can think of is to attach two hoses to the back drains. (Mine started spitting water and not cooling as well, so I attached the drain hoses, (clear ones, so I can see what's happening), and it seems to work much better now.

Um, there are also two screws along the bottom of the *FRONT* panel...if you take those out before starting to pop the clips you will find it slightly easier to pop the clips. Also, I'm not sure prying the two panels apart with a chisel is the right approach--instead, using a small, thin putty knife or something similar and pushing inward rather than prying apart will make it easier to pop the clips.

[@skidzy11]

One of the first things I did was remove that stupid useless plastic barrier on both of my units which impede your ability to get in and properly wipe down the condenser coils. They serve zero purpose. I don't know why they leave them on there. I used to run a very large plastic extruder and these should be snapped off after they come out of the extruder. I have no idea why they're there and it doesn't hurt for them to be gone. They serve zero purpose other than to hold its shape during the cooling process after coming out of the extruder. I hope this helps because they're completely useless
