Hi guys, I've got a Panasonic CU-E21FKR split system and I need to change the indoor fan motor as the bearings are shot.
Now get this, I'm a qualified fridgie but I've never had to change one of these before.
So first attempt out, I took the front cover off. I can see the motor tucked away by the control box, so I take the screws out for that. Trouble is, the control box is nicely tucked in there. Has movement but not enough to pull out, up or across. So in that box is the PC board, take that out. Still nothing. I'm not a fan of pulling on or pushing things to breaking point.
So I left it there, thought there is another way to get to it. I take the coil off from the left hand side of the unit as that's where the screws are, trouble is that only lifts up enough to barely access the barrel.
I am absolutely bamboozled on this one. Luckily it's a love job but i hate not being able to do something, so I'm turning to you guys. I feel as though i took out every possible screw. There's obviously something I'm missing.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks or a god dam assembly for this splitty that I'm not far from chucking through the window haha thanks for the patience guys.
