Default Circuit board replacement parts (from mini-split)

Does any one know where to order replacement parts for these things . I had a grasshopper get on my outdoor circuit board some howand fry itself . Now it feels like i am going to fry as summer keeps coming down in the south . Any one that knows where to find replacement parts this would be awesome . I have the air con blue wave series 2 ton mini split . The first 1 ton i bought years ago is still chugging along

Try cleaning up the burned spot and bridging the burned track. If it then works, conformal coat it to guard against further arc flash events.

You happen to have any recomendations on what type solder to use. I have not got the faintest clue where to start

Go with good quality (e.g. Kester) 63/37 leaded solder. Lead free is harder to work with so I do not recommend it for a beginner. For the iron, go for the TS100 if you want one that's portable or a T12 if you want a budget option.

Practice a bit on a scrap board, but it looks like a pretty easy soldering job.

Think a hot gun and soldering iron would come in handy for desoldering things in combination with the soldering iron. Or is that a garbage unit combo . Really not many reviews on youtube i seen as a quick search.

I did find the Ksger t12 . I assumed that was one you had recomended .

Here's the web page for your unit:

http://airconint.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blue_Series_3

It looks like the power feed for the outdoor fan motor got burnt. I would definitely check the resistance between the two terminals on the motor connector before I did a board repair. The service manual for your model should have some typical values for reference.

Also, how old is the unit? It may still have warranty coverage. If so, you should be able to send the pics to the manufacturer and get a new circuit board. I'd definitely verify that it's out of warranty before attempting a board level repair.

$ 350 is about what the motherboard of our mini split cost . Ordered it from the supply house I purchased the mini split from .

I took the old one out , installed the new one . Took the old one back to the supply house I purchased the mini split from and the refunded my money . Less than 1 year old & under warranty .

God bless

It is about 1 yr or so old . It is possible . I havent even thought about it still being under warranty. That may be a possibility.

We had a brown out during a snow storm , several years ago . Damaged the PC board on our 12,000 BTU Fredrich mini split .

I purchased it locally at a HVAC supply house . They warrantied it for me . :-)

Seems like the board would have cost around $ 350 , if it had not of been under warranty ?

God bless
