Ace! This saved me. Followed all steps and I’m back in business like new.

Thank you for the comment. That’s awesome that the video was helpful.

Did a similar clean on my Panasonic bath exhaust fan cage, amazing how much it was caked up. Now I know how to clean my mini split thanks to your video - thumbs up

@paulethier3416 2 месяца назад

Glad it helped!

@glenlongstreet7 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, I watched and disassembled simultaneously. There was one hidden screw that took me a bit to find but I didn't just grab and yank. The squirrel cage fan was very dirty. I didn't know that it was blue. Got it all back together after a couple of false starts.

@paulethier3416 10 месяцев назад

I'm happy this video was helpful to you. I was a little surprised the fan was blue also. Thanks for sharing and commenting.

@user-tr8rg1xg9e 3 месяца назад

Excellent video! I'm going on three years and have always kept the filters cleanes, but noticed the build up on the squirrel fan. I need to perform this cleaning technique.

This is helpful. I actually had to do an emergency cleaning of my 18k Mr Cool which has been installed for about 23 months. My fan was like yours but even worse because air was barely coming out of my unit to the point that I opened a ticket with Mr Cool. Eventually I figured out that my fan was caked. I had no idea I needed to clean like this regularly. I was able to just vacuum my fan and get a lot of the cake off but it is still coated. I also cleaned the coil with the spray and rinsed it with a water spray bottle. It is working 100% better now but I am tempted to go a step further before the winter and get the cleaning hood and spray bottle to clean the fan fully. I actually tried to take my fan out and failed. I could not find the set screw. Mr Cool has a video on removing the fan motor but in their video there was a missing blade in the fan to access the set screw - mine did not seem to have a missing blade to insert a screwdriver, and I didn't see any set screw. So after partially removing the coil I just gave up and cleaned the fan through the same access hole you did. I think your method is essentially perfect.

Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience.

This is an old comment but if you have an air compressor it really helps to uncake the blower wheel. Like 50-60psi with a blow gun will do wonders. Makes a mess. Definitely use eye protection and a face shield if you have one. I have to do it once every year or the blower is totally useless.

Hi Paul...Kevin Here Thanks for this informative video. One question. My same unit has a strange smell when off only .. soI called the company and she said to order Mad Tabs and clean the drain pad and put these self cleaning tablets in the pan. My question is. Do you know how to access and clean the pan and drain hole in the pan??? Just figured I'd ask you before taking it all apart now? Waiting on my tablets anyway. Thanks Very Much !!!!!😮😮

@paulethier3416 11 дней назад

Hi Kevin. The drain pan collects the condensation that comes off the coil. That condensation runs out of the drain hose. The tabs are likely to kill mold and to disinfect. I've not had to do that yet. The drain pan should be below the coil and behind the cage fan. Because the tabs are used for routine maintenance it should not be hard to find the pan. Sorry, I'm not that helpful, I'm self taught with most of this stuff.

@@paulethier3416 Hi Paul... A Big Thank You for your response and again for the videos I will watch it again as I start to disassemble and clean it... I installed the two inside units and one outside unit myself and I'm a Licensed Electricsl Contractor so I'm sure I'll find it as you say... I'm never afraid to ask questions though and I really appreciate YOU! Thanks again and stay COOL, MR.!!! LOL

@LeuCustomKnives Месяц назад

Is this a 12, or 18k MrCool DIY? I have a 18 and also a 24k. Wish they’d make these things disassemble much easier. Seems like the blower wheel of the 18k unit I have which is in a bedroom gets way more junked up than the 24k unit that I have in my garage workshop where I grind carbon fiber constantly. The shop unit is mounted a foot higher than the 18k unit though.

@paulethier3416 Месяц назад

It’s a 24k unit with a single head.

@777GiantSlayer 2 месяца назад

Good video, but it would have been nice if you had given details about what you were doing step by step. Example, like taking the cover off, where the screws/tabs are, etc.

@paulethier3416 2 месяца назад

Thanks for commenting. I guess I just felt that there are so many different companies and units out there this is more of a generalization of how I clean mine.

@cblackwell6094 2 месяца назад

How long did you let the coil cleaner sit before rinsing, and then sit again before turning back on? I don’t think I’m going to rinse out my inside unit, but I’m unsure of how long to wait before turning it all back on

@cblackwell6094 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video 🫶

@paulethier3416 2 месяца назад

I sprayed the coil cleaner on let it set for about five or 10 minutes and then rinse it with clean water. Both the inside coil and the outside coil.

@tdub77 Год назад

You can remove the outdoor fan cover and blade to get the inside of those coils fyi

@paulethier3416 Год назад

Thank you for the fyi.

@tdub77 Год назад

I’m going to attack my squirrel cage today

@paulethier3416 Год назад

Good luck!!

@tdub77 Год назад

Done I really wanted to remove it completely to clean but I ended up just using pump sprayer with a little vinegar and dish soap. Worked very well

@paulethier3416 Год назад

I never thought of using vinegar. Good idea.

@christiangonzalez-qc3mq Год назад

How about cleaning out the drain from preventing clogging? The drain hose

@paulethier3416 Год назад

I didn’t show it but mine was clean and draining good

@kevin9c1 Год назад

It got a thorough rinse from everything he put through it. I bet stuff came out black if he looked.

`put it on comfort mode and it will cut on and off like a house unit it will not run 24/7

@paulethier3416 2 месяца назад

Ours does not have a comfort mode but I put the fan on auto and it ramps up and down as needed to maintain temp. Its probably the same feature with a different name. Thanks for commenting.
