My Dakin has the same issue and also no error code so looks like I have a date in the roof with the fan lol Cheers for posting, your a bloody LEGEND 👍👍
Why don't those daikins need a trap? Built in pump? Just interested, I install mostly MHI. Good point about the straps, I'll take that on board. I do swap outs and insurance on some pretty bad installs, but always looking to improve and make things easier for guys who do service work.
It’s because the drain point is in front of the fan so it gets positively pressurised. It doesn’t have a pump as such but yeah the drains are pressurised to some degree. However the drain in this video was run in 20mm electrical conduit. That’ll work but Daikin specify that you use 20mm drain pipe which as you know is bigger. Yeah to be honest I used to put the straps in the same position, until one day I did an install with a service mechanic and he told me not to. Since then I have gone to a couple of jobs and seen for myself why you shouldn’t put the straps there haha. Plus the brackets that come with the unit which only get used if you use booker rod to hang the unit get put on that main section, not the fan section for this reason. Thanks for the comment mate. Iv only ever installed one MHI ducted unit and a few of their Splittys. Never had an issue with any of them.
@@maracservices Yeah man I only use 20mm electrical on my splits. 20mm pressure on my ducted systems. MHI have built in pumps and a cut out relay for blocked condensate drains. Pretty good, so you can install without a tray underneath too according to Mitsubishi, still doesn't feel right with me. I install tonnes of MHI units and very rarely have problems with them, I don't get why so many techs bag them out. The electrics are good too but I don't see the massive advantage.
@@lwilliams3285 I have no idea either aye. In my experience, MHI work fine. Every brand has their supporters and haters I guess. If the unit has a pump, that’s pretty cool. I just stress out that it will fail at some point and when it does, can it still drain away? I guess it doesn’t matter if it has a cut out sensor on it. At the end of the day, every unit has there pros and cons. Just out of curiosity, can you dismantle the indoor units on MHI? To get them in the roof?
@@maracservices yeah man the FDUA series 14 and 16 kw indoors come apart. The smaller ones aren't that much of a problem. The 20s unfortunately don't for some reason.
Awesome to see your thought process and fault diagnosis mate, great video as usual, thanks again for sharing ✌🏼
Thanks man 👊🏼
Hi Mitch,nicely diagnose, and you sure rectified a few problems there, your a good man 👍
