Awesome video Dave. Pretty straight forward, live it.

love waking up to your videos

love Air Con easy to work on and their warranty and tech support is fantastic

Good to know they have boards. Just had a Gree LIVV smoke R1 on the board( only one on those) installed new in April. NO BOARDS AVAILABLE!! They gave me a condenser!👍

Didn't know Milwaukee made cordless hammers, heading to the store.

A few weeks ago I got to replace the board in the condensing unit on a Mr. Cool mini split, wasn’t too bad. The original board fried because the solar company that ran the new electrical to the mini spit wired it for 230v (it was rated for 115v). This solar company covered the cost and customer was happy.

Great video man! Between the toasty cold line and the Buffalo in the butt thing I nearly shot hot coffee out my nose 🤣 laughing.

Love the hammer selection 🤙🏼

Good to see you survived the South Dakota adventure with no major trauma.

There's always screws left over on those! Nice job.

YES! No screws left over...seems there's aways one!!👍

Hey David, stumbled across your channel, glad you like our units! If you ever have a issue you know where to call - Jake

In the disconect, your only aloud one wire under each screw per NEC unless it is a clamping type screw and these are not clamping type. Or if the listing and labeling instructions say otherwise.

Love that cordless Milwaukee hammer ... Amazon here I come 😂😅🤣 Good vid ...

Philips tip ⚡️⚡️

heaps of connections those cables from PCB to PCB 😂 and thats the beauty of INVERTER

We have a 2 zone Air-Con mini split. One of the inside wall units has stopped cooling. Repair man said it’s the electric board on inside unit. They’ve been trying to secure a replacement one but no luck. Is it possible to replace just the unit in one zone only? Does it need to be Air-Con?

Toasty cold, frosty hot, whatever gets you through the day 😂

Like the Mitsubishi MXZ series power pcb... a pain in the butt to swap. The worst is when the o.unit is installed in a bad place to reach. Coming from refrigeration, I can't express enough how I hate the mini-split world 😒

Toasty cold 👍🏽

Coming from Aus, it’s surprising that your supply is that unstable. Split systems are pretty common here

The industry standard here is a national gas furnace with a coil and a condensing unit very simple and work well. The mini splits and Vrv units have been around they are just getting popular here last 10 years

""wire go into a specific connector, so you really cant mess them up"".. I just heard a millions of people say "hold my beer" 🤣🤪

Hi bro from west Alabama

Looks like that was a high power resistor that blew, likely because something upstream of it went short circuit and the resistor became the fuse essentially.

probably one of the big power mosfet under the heat sink went POOF. while it could have been from lightning/power surge, probably just bad designed board, lack of thermal grease/cooling issue, vibration loosening/solder fracture. It's really hard to say without seeing the failure and multiples of them, but as quickly as they suggested replacing both boards and sent new? probably well known issues 🤔

When I get a call for ductless or communicating heat pumps, it’s going to be the board, or EEV power head shorted.

I’ve found Haier also good to work with as well. They’re jumper has to be cut on the inside boards. Out of curiosity do you charge/ bake into your cost the time spent working out the warranty board acquisition with the manufacturer? I do here in Ga. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I find very helpful.

Dude can you do a video about how you have your tool bag set up

I'm just not a fan of those mini splits. Good repair. Surge protector is a great idea, those things should have one built-in with all that electronics.

@jrmcferren

Жыл бұрын

It may not have been a power surge that took this out. It looks like something shorted across the 310 volt DC power supply. While these units have surge protection (there are three surge protection elements on the board itself), if a bad enough surge hits, it will still need the board replaced as the surge protectors on the board will be destroyed and likely cause other damage. With the external unit, you have additional protection and a cheaper repair.

Hi, I have a Fujitsu mini split that rarely gets used for a bonus room. I went to turn it on then other day and it does nothing! Flipped the breaker and changed out remote batteries and nothing turns on. Could I have a bad board on the inside air handler unit or something else wrong? Thanks

It’s all the different branding and the guessing game of what’s failed and if you can get it. Fun times.

I really don't understand why they don't do minimal conformal coating on the boards to prevent corrosion...

Pretty sure it says not to cut the wires leave them long at least that what mine said
