I dont get why you would go through the trouble of replacing the evap head when their was clearly no issue with it, makes no sense to have them give you a brand new one

Burning2nd says:

damn man, your sloppy af, so whats the consensus ? you had a leak, Did you locate it and fix it? Ive seen techs repair coils on roof top units… how does the mr cool brand hold up? Im fishining the 24k install tomorrow

I have the same set up I want to do for my new mrcool diy . The place I want to mounting unit The inside unit it’s going to be above a door opening then behind it I have to go through closet wall wall then the through my closet wall and then to the outside. 3 walls to get to the outside. My issue is how much space do I need to hang the inside unit over the door way ? Right now I measure 15 in is that enough to left and hook the unit to the mounting bracket? Also the drain line I don’t want to run it through all those walls I was thinking of running it over the doorway behind it and then straight down to my floor under the house and out what do you think ? I noticed that you left the drain line out and then you fished it through And then it’s almost like if I was gonna do the same thing but I’m thinking of just running it behind the doorway straight down to the ground in and out of my house

Hey guys. I’ve had nothing but problems using those insulated line sets with the white foam. I’ve replaced them on a few units. If you inspect them closely, you’ll notice how porous they are. I added the due capsules for POE oil and it permeated through the pipe and the insulation. Try not to use these line sets. You’ll save time and money. Run the American made copper tubing. Good luck.

I have a similar space with spray foam insulation in the walls. Im have two questions. What size as far as tons is you unit and square footage. Also, i just discovered I have a freon leak on my inside unit. You can see the freon shooting out of one of the copper tubes in the coil. I wondered what the warranty is on these units

Gary Winters says:

Closet flange.
Check the stepping exv..and many techs never test the invertor/compressor can for leaks in welds..one fissure or gas hole will do it..improper flares can also seep.

Great video – thanks! I installed three Pioneer Mini-Splits two years ago (identical to MRCOOL), and they have been the best things I've done for our house. One was the 12000, and two were 24000 BTU's. They cool very well, it's easy to clean their filters, and the savings in electricity is phenomenal!
I had a question, but I don't know if you've needed to delve into any maintenance yet.
I want to clean the fan blades, which are the only things that have become "gunked" up over two years (the coil fins still look great).
But – do you know the "secret" to removing the full front covers? (Not just the main flip-up access door – I need to take off the whole plastic cover – front, top, and sides.)
I can't find the placement for the screws inside the vent area that most mini-splits have.
Do you know where the screws to remove the cover are?
Please enjoy your efficient cooling / heating system!
Thanks again, Randall

After researching Minisplits for years (yes years), my impression of Mr Cool was it was priced higher, but supplied local as you have suggested (Home Depot). It also should be more of a DIY install with the flexible lineset. Yet that same lineset seems to be in question with your first unit. That would really PMO. I know I can save $$ on other units purchased on Fleabay, BUT, I am unlikely to get ANY warranty action, and I will need to purchase appropriate tools for running the lineset. Including evacuation, gauges, flare tools etc. I figure about $400 worth of tools to use once (or how many times based on your usage). As an experienced DIYer, I am suprised how many DIYers start with one, but end up installing several units. I wanted to say thanks for your time and effort to install and document, but MR COOLS failure will ultimately suggest I should take the plunge with another brand. THere BEST feature (flexible self install lineset) has proven faulty. Although they did cover under warranty, it still cost you $200 and 8-10 (?) hours of your time. MR COOL, you need to think twice about this. Please followup with Jeremy and ALSO offer to reimburse him his expenses….so he can give you a thumbs up, and we as viewers realize it MIGHT be worth spending the extra $$ for you product. John in Nebraska. Hot humid summers…and I look to install 4-8 units this summer if all goes well, But probably NOT Mr. Cool. PMO = Pis> Me Off above. [Heat and Humidity in LA. Visited Franklin LA in 87. YIKES!]

hey mr. cool my aircon have problem split aircon his authomatic off and ders a logo blinking near in timer

emptech says:

How many microns did you evacuate the lineset and evaporator down to? Pardon me if somebody else has already asked the question, I didn't check the other responses. When you were diagnosing the system with a leak, did you try pressurizing with nitrogen ?

I recently installed a 24k Mr. Cool unit in my Waikiki rental property. I thought it would be a reasonably priced upgrade. After the install and a visit by an AC technician, it was determined that the control board sent with the unit needed to be replaced. AC is not usually considered an emergency repair, but it is when you have paying guests staying in your Waikiki apartment. Considering the unit did not work right out of the box, I'm wondering if it will give me reliable service in the future? I made the purchase through Home Depot and I could return it as is. Mr. Cool is sending a replacement control board, but I just don't know if it is worth the stress and hassle to deal with what might happen next. bobmillerhawaii@gmail.com
