Dear All,
I am new and an aspiring DIY enthusiast and i have been cleaning my own mini split a Daikin FTKS25DVM with no problems. Enough with my mini intro and with a proper description of my problem as below.
My gf's FCU which is a FTKS71HVMG has been experiencing a scroll fan rattle and I have visual confirmation that it is a particular impeller rim that has been hitting the frame of the housing causing the rattle.
In addition, i found that the hex socket screw (grub screw) that supposedly secures the scroll fan to the spindle was missing. I located a screw specialist and promptly bought a 4MX6 and secured it.
It was a pain in the butt to secure that screw because i had no idea how to remove the drain tray which prevented easy access. On the smaller FTKS25DVM, i could access a screw in the inner recess behind (and in between) the electrical panel as well as the A tower coil. Some torsion twist and turns, the drain tray could be out. I am just stumped by the FTKS71HVMG.
I thought the removal procedure would be the same but i think i am wrong.
Can anyone comment on
1.) What i can do to remove the drain tray
2.) The cause of the scroll fan rim hitting the housing?
Very much appreciated!
