Love it when I find Aussie how to vids. No endless rambling just straight to the point, no nonsense, here's how it done. Thanks Nick. You're a legend bloke.
This started dripping a lot of water while using the cold air.. I was told to turn on the heat for 15 minutes.. then power off an hour. No more leak.. worked like a charm.
Thanks mate - been trying to get the original A/C guy in for 18 months... watched your video, found the crimped drain line (faulty install) and fixed it... A+!!
A Big thank you. I have seen many videos to resolve leaking problem but all videos are very very confusing. your video really helped us to resolve the all leaking problem and how to fix and clear the blockages . Great...
Thanks for that, that was very informative. I'm currently experiencing the same issue at the moment. Mine is a similar model to this; a Daikin FTXS25BVMA split system. We had it installed just over fourteen years ago and have had plenty of use out of it since then, and I think that this would be the first time we've had to fix this since then.
I have the exact same one in the vid here in the living room. I heard this "tap...tap.....tap" so went to see wtf that was and it was dripping from the bottom left of the unit, onto a 4-gang electric socket underneath and music equipment 🙈 So I started removing the 4 screws with the 4th one on the black section on the right. I noticed the red wires when I started to lift off the cover - red usually means live so I put the cover back on and left it because it's not my house.
Note: Safety first!!!! Turn off the breaker for the unit or switch off or unplug. Do not run anything like the vacuum hose along the aluminium fins as it will damage them. Use a hose with a brush at the end with long bristles as this will help remove the dirt and not damage the exchange unit, up and down with the fins is best. Also do not overtighten the tape so as it will kink the pipe as this will lead to leaks, this is not a water pressure pipe so does not need it. Some units have the electrics coming to the front panel so if you are not familiar with electrics get an expert in. To clean the outside pipe well it is best to run a fresh water hose to the external side of the pipe and run the water which will flush out any contaminants.
Hello! I just wish to give an enormous thumbs up for the good video information you will have right here on this post. I can be coming back to your video for extra soon.
Thanks...Seemed to do the trick....would have been easier for me to just go outside and fix the clog there as I have different model than the demo one, but its working now.
Good explanation. However more often than not it is not (just) a clogged hose. Below the evaporator on the front there is a drain pan catching the condensed water. The drain pan runs along the full length of the evaporator and that is were the drain hose is connected to. The drain pan might be clogged as well or the hole in the connection to the hose. Once you think you found it and solved it, there is also a drain pan on the BACK of the evaporator against the wall or wall mounting. This one can clog up as well, and you'll see water dripping from the back of the unit. This back drain pan is impossible to clean without major disassembly of the indoor unit.
@@sinhhua6454 The front drain pan is easy and does not need an explanation. If you have the indoor unit opened you see the drain pan and you understand how to clean it. I never managed to clean the rear drain pan. I even doubt if it can be done without disassembling the evaporator. Which looks very hard. So yes, for the rear drain pan a good video would be very useful.
Don't forget to isolate / turn of power first , those wires on the right hand side are live . There was also no need to clear the drain this way too much work , other comments have hit the spot .
We got to the part where you prize it off the wall....but ours simply WON'T BUDGE...and we're far too scared to try harder....and we can't afford a plumber to come look at it...so it looks like the leaking onto the floor or our lounge will only be stopped by not using the unit or paying $$$ for a plumber to fix....unscrewed all front screws, nada.....so disappointed....but huge thumbs up for the clear and to the point vid....ours is a Fujutsu AR-RY3 unit...
I tried sucking out the clog from where it drains outside. No luck at all - dry as a bone. Seems like that should’ve done the trick, considering its pulling on the same pipes. Oh well, guess I’ll try this next
Thank you for the video! Very informative. When using only the heater mode, my spit unit is leaking water from the drip pan on the outside unit and is ruining my concrete patio. I can't seem to locate a "second" drain tube and appears the leak may be from mositure building on the coils. Would you be able to advise on how I can save my patio from this leak?
Have this unit and water drains from the bottom ok. However the radiator part on top seems to be leaking and coming out over the front and not down into th drain pan.
I need to do this now but after opening the unit I'm not certain which one is the drainage tube. The tube in front is smaller and white and the larger tube with the grey foam is behind. I'm super afraid to undo the wrong thing so any help to clearly ID the drainage tube would be most helpful.
May split ac is PEARL EMPEROR brand.. And my problems is water leakage,, i dont know which one inside is the tube?What should i do..? Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks I will try this. Spent my whole day deep cleaning the coils hoping the leak is resolved, but so frustrated it still leaks. Thanks for this video. By the way- what is the cause of this leak on the first place? Why leaks are sudden? I mean my AC is all good until one night, lots of droplets!
onzkicg Problems with clogged drains are caused by the accumulation of dirt that has gone past the filters onto the coil. Dirt then runs off with the condensate and accumulates in the drain pan then into the drain tubing. The filters may need to be cleaned more often.
how can you remove/clean the drain pan for this particular model? our Daikin unit doesn't have a removable drain pan hence difficult to clean thoroughly.
mine is making the clicking sound . only wenThe compressor kicks in as it's an invertor type. This can't be the fan it sounds like the gas chamber is expanding and pushing against the cover ohh and its a new carrier type so very disappointed may out of warranty and i live on philippines warranty means nothing . but please if you no what makes the noise please help . Thanks
I noticed SWEATING Issue at my Children's Room FCU(Fan Coil Unit). It is a "System 2 Split Unit, that serve Master Room(which is nearer to the condenser Unit) & Children's Room(which is slightly FURTHER away from Condenser Unit). Could this be caused by DIRTY CONDENSER UNIT? I had just attempted a STEAM Cleaning on the Condenser Coil(outsides)...But yet to check the outcome(will observe it tonight when it's in operation).
when i started my AC , suddenly from indoor unit water sprinkle come out , 4 technician visit my home and at last technician said the problem is in AC strips , he said removed some damage hitlon from cooling coil , fix it hitlon on cooling coil , after that water sprinkler ( leakage ) problem is stooped but its correct way to this leakage problem ( my AC IN UNDER WARRENTY )
I like the idea of pulling the debris out by a vacuum cleaner where the drain line comes outside. Taking the face off of a mini split really sucks. Only use this method if you absolutely have to!
I ruptured the Freon pipe.. Now I'm calling a professional to fix it. It's gonna cost a hell of a lot more. Gonna leave it to professionals from now on, except for normal cleaning that I can do. Never again though.
@@dalegribble4308 No that didn't. I did as instructed. Finished the job. It happened when tucking the pipes in. Pipe came off .. got disconnected. It's fixed now. Just a caution for people trying this. It works but do it right.
I want to replace two Ariston 2-3kW high wall indoor units (R22) and am told by Ariston that they have discontinued selling AC. They were obviously bought in and just badged Ariston, but they (Ariston) have been thoroughly uncooperative in supplying any further information. Has anyone got any ideas how I can solve the problem and or who the makers were? All I really need is new PC boards with switches and indicator light for one of them I think? I am a long retired installer. Many thanks to anyone who can help.
Why would you not want to test its clear by slowly pouring water into the pan and verify its coming out outside. My AC gal put a blue food coloring in the water, and poured it into drain pan. She set up a phone recording on video mode to see what came out outside and if it was blue.
my flipping louver blade connection broke (small plastic connect to motor swing) & I’m so dumb to try put back with. super glue now the motor is stucked even more lol 😂 please post a tutorial thanks!
