Do you have the service manual for yours? They have several pages of diagnostics in there with all the blink codes. I don't know if yours is the same, but in my MSZ-FH service manual it shows if the indoor unit shuts off and the light blinks 6 times, followed by a 2.5 second pause, that...

Hello, I wanted to update the thread with the results from my original post, after I determined that I had a leak. I had the installer come back out and he was able to spray soap on the flare and found that there was a tiny visible leak where the leak detector had alarmed. We could see a very...

The Fieldpiece has 3 sensitivity settings that it can be set to trigger on. The most sensitive setting is designed to trigger on leaks less than 0.1 oz/year, when held near the leak. The least sensitive setting triggers only if the leak is more than 6.6 oz/year, and that's what it triggered on...

Cool, thanks so much for measuring this. I bit the bullet and bought a Fieldpiece SRL8 leak detector. I found that the unit has a leak on one of the outdoor flares of > 6.6 oz/year. Since the entire charge is only 2 lb 9 oz, and it has been 2 years since charged, it has lost at least 1/3 of...

That is awesome, thanks for sharing! What is this "small 90 degree hose tool" you use? I also have a Fujitsu in addition to the Mitsubishi. I haven't taken apart the Mitsubishi before, but have taken apart the Fujitsu, and I wish that one were as easy as the Mitsubishi looks as you need to take...

Interesting...ours was performing badly 2 years ago and I had the installer came out and they found that it only had 1/4 of the proper charge and they excavated and refilled saying that it was probably a low charge from the factory. But now it seems like it is performing worse and so I'm...

Cool, thanks! Do you happen to remember which youtube video you watched that showed you that method? Thanks.

Hello, I have a Mitsubishi minisplit model MSZ-FH09NA. It was installed a couple of years ago and seems like it is not cooling like it used to. I'm afraid it might have a slow leak. I've measured the temperature difference between the intake air (right above the unit) and the output air (right...

I also advise staying away from Contractors Commercial. I placed an order for tubes and fixtures in the middle of May. Their website said everything was in stock at the time. I received the tubes after about 3 weeks but never received the fixtures. I looked back over my emails and I was told...

Are these MaxLite fixtures the type where you just push the wire out through a hole in the ceiling and connect the wire with the wire nuts right in the fixture itself? e.g. no ceiling electrical box?

Hello, I'm trying to come up with a plan for lighting a new garage -- 26' x 36' with 10' ceiling. I think I will go with the MaxLite / James 4' T8 combo that Platonic Solid recommends as it seems like a good value. The garage is basically an open rectangle designed for 3 cars. There is a...
