How to clean your Mitsubishi starmex aircon | wallmounted 

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 😊

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.

Thanks for this video. Saves me plenty of money on servicing. With the exception of the accumulated interior gel and water (which, sorry to say, have to be removed using wet vacuum that I don't have), this instructional video is pretty straightforward.

Really appreciate this detailed step by step guide. Gives me confidence to diy

Brilliant video. I tried to clean out my MSZ-HR25VF split unit, but i was unable to get the front cover out, and all the tutorials on the internet were for three screw versions, mine is two screw model like this one on the video. I had no idea that i had to push it up lol. Thanks man!

This video helped me to dismantle blower for deep cleaning of my Mitsubishi AC.

Brilliant. This gives me the confidence to actually do it myself. Thanks and beat wishes from the Netherlands.

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.

Well done! Thank you so much. Best detail instructions i could find. Thanks again

Just found your video.. how did i miss this?! Thank you a million bro! 🤝🏼

Best on cleaning Mitsubishi, very well done.

This is soooo good! Inspired me to clean my aircon on my own!

Bro you're amazing. I have never felt more love for another man in my life. HAHAHAHAH. Thank you so much man, you've saved me THOUSANDS.

really detailed. except mine had a additional screw on the right of the blower which i had to loosen. Else its locked onto the shaft. I managed to clean it still. Thanks for the guide!

Helpful for self cleaning . Just fixing back the drain pan a bit difficult

Tried and tested. It works, $40 saved.

Amazing, bro. Your video is reason I will buy Mitsubishi for coming BTO❤❤❤

Thanks a lot Bon Mj 🙏 Greetings from Turkiye 👋

One of the best videos on Starmex maintenance that I have seen. Very helpful indeed. Sure help to save many dollars. KUDOS!

Good job. Keep it up

Thank you!

HAHA just cleaned my aircon, thank you so much BonMj!

Thanks bro for the lesson .

Thank you for the video. This will help me a lot.

Thank you for this!!

Good job guys 👍

Great instructional bro! Will try it!

Thank you very, very much.

Good Job ! Thanks

very clean video

my friend you are the best. I have a question. Why you didn't disassemble the drain pan?

Thank you so much for detailed useful video!!

Thanks Bon

Nice video 👍

Nyc video

omg it works thanks bro

We just bought Starmex R32. I hope, the cleaning steps still the same.

Bu vityoyu çekip bizleri bilgilendirdihiniz için teşekkür ederim size bir sorum olacak klima sıçaklık neden az verir teşekkürler Mıtsubıshı

Mitshi aircon unit is easy to dismantle and fix back.....just clean all.parts and fix it back will do.

Best video on how to clean aircon so far. I have a question, one of my aircon has trunking directly below the aircon, is there a way to take the blower out?

Hi thank you for the super detail video. I have a small question about using coconut brush to brush the evaporator coil. Will that force dirt deeper into the evaporator coil?

Good Video, tried and tested. Got one part not shown, 2:22 > the blower cannot slide out without loosening the screw located inside the blower on the right hand side.

thank you. i took down the blower and cleaned, but is it possible to clean the fin as well, maybe with water?

Perfect 👌

Great video. What about the electricity ON/OFF during cleaning?

I cannot remove the front cover of the newly purchased Mitsubishi Electric indoor unit. Strange that the video shown the front cover can be removed without much force. It looks simply the cover pull out almost horizontally. What is the tricks?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Take out easy.. putting them back sometimes very difficult

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? (I ensure all screws are tighten)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks much! Mine looks almost the same. My drainage pipe is on left of FCU. Same way of removing the drain pan?

i tried to pull down the bottom,but still can’t remove the cover. My air-con service man said there is another “lock” on top which i I can’t see with my ladder. I gave up in the end.

Hello from Serbia, please tell me how much is good for heating Mitsubishi MSZ-HR35VF?

Nicky done!

Thanks for the video, can I check if u have a guide to vacuum the water pipe? Thanks

Great video, good job. The blower looks like newer unit. older version 5 yrs back also same arrangement?

Good video - I just serviced my Starmex today following your video. Feedback - show more clearly how to put back the aircon - I struggled with putting back the horizontal piece with the metal grill and vanes.

For newer hdb flats the bedroom wall switch for ceiling light has concealed wire inside the wall. If I want to drill holes near the switch to mount the aircon remote control holder, where (above/below/left/right of the switch?) to drill to prevent drilling into the ceiling light switch concealed wire? Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍👍 Do we need to unplug electric of the aircon first before cleaning ?

Who are these service guys and how can I engage them to clean my house aircon? I’m in Singapore.

Wow excellent video...may I ask if it is ok to do svcing without removing them....means spraying chemical on the blower n coil n then spray water directly..plz advice..thks

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.

i have a Mitsubishi MSZ-HR50 VF. Does that video helps me to clean my aircondition ?

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. 😅

wah lao. drain pan how to remove? just say from left to right but never show where the clip or anything to get it disconnect leh?

Comparing Daikin ismile eco vs Mitsubishi starmex, Q1. Which one easier to dismantle and clean Q2. Which one more durable quality Q3. Which one quieter? Q4. It seems like Daikin ismile eco is easier to remove the blower as it has no screw in the blower but Mitsubishi easier to remove drain pan and open the front plastic fins to clean blower and front plastic? Thanks

Hi Bon, new subscriber here based in Singapore. My room has the same model of aircond in the video Mitsubishi Starmex. Recently it has been leaking water. Do you recommend to clean the AC like in this video ?

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?

Pls note, all.other brands have different ways to dismantle...not all the same

Is Thermaflex or Armaflex better insulation? Thanks.

Realised starmex copper coil is thicker than daikin and panasonic. Panasonic is thicker than daikin.😅quality from thickest to thinnest.

Hi, my water outlet pipe is at the left side of the drain pan...how can I take it out in order to remove the drain pan? thanks....

this should be done as part of normal servicing which many air con companies don't even do. why pay them when you can do it yourself easily and clean it better than them ??

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

Didn't mention that need to remove an additional 3 screws before the blower can be removed

My blower seems to be stuck Cant yank it out 😢

Is the inner screw only suppose to turn halfway

Gusto ko rin mag linis kaso wala kaming aircon

Hi bon, the blower got sound after I fix back when turn on. Is there any alignment needed? Thank!

do i need to remove the sensor and synchro motor wires like what u showed in the other video? thanks. by the way another stupid question, how do i turn off the power? just use the remote to off it or i need to turn off the isolator?

Bon, can remove the drain pan when cleaning?

sadge bro cleaning the aircon and my father decided to pull the whole drain pain including the wire now one of them is torn

Hi Bon MJ, if I follow your way of cleaning, do I still need to engage company to do chemical cleaning?

Hi Bon, few months back I engaged an aircon company to service my aircon. Ever since then, I keep hearing a ticking sound from the unit when I on it at night. Sounds like plastic expanding and contracting. Any solutions? I tried to loosen the 2 bottom screws of the cover but the sound still persists. V frustrating.

i just bought this fn series system 4.. how often do i need to do servicing for all 4?

Hi bro, after loosening the screw of the blower and three screws of the evaporator coil cover screws, the blower is unable to take out, please advise. Thank you.

Why my blower fan gt sound after servicing. I tried to troubleshoot by removing and installing again. But the aircon light was blinking and cannot be started? How to troubleshoot it?

Can we remove the drain pan completely instead of just leaving it to hang there? Is it alright to just hang it there while cleaning the other parts?

miss the drain pipe... due to water leakage. how to maintain that?

how did you detach the drippan? the cloth was covering so i couidnt see

I have never serviced my aircon since I moved in about 8 years ago. It still blowing cold air, should I service?

Hi, I am going to buy new aircon, what brand/model is quietest and easy to clean? What Mitsubishi starmex model is best (quietest/easy to clean/durable)? Your video Mitsubishi starmex is what model? Thanks a lot.

my Mitsubishi aircon started blowing warm air again after cleaning service half a year ago, can this fix the problem?

u forgot the drain pipe

Hi, May i know you from which Servicing company? can i engage you to do aircon servicing?

you did not disconnect the drain pan for washing, and you did not install additional filter at the top of the aircon..... it is still dirty!!!!!!

My aircon green light keeps blinking after cleaning. How do i resolve it?

Thats not enough bro😁

liked subbed,aircon no longer cool, how to service your aircon

Not a good idea to clean the fin with coconut brush as all the fine particle will be blown off n inhale to lung..
