Mitsubishi Electric Outdoor Unit Noisy - Outdoor Fan Bracket Issues

If you own a Mitsubishi Electric ducted air conditioning unit, you may one day hear a knocking sound from your outdoor unit. If this happens, check the outdoor unit fans to see if they are wobbling excessively back and forward. A common area of failure, especially with systems located near salt water, is the outdoor fan motor bracket. These brackets either rust out at the base or the rubber mounts disintegrate at the top. Either way, this can cause the fan motor/s to drop forward and catch on the fan housing or wobble back and forth. Best case, this noise is loud and annoying, worst case the fan motor can jam against the fan housing and trip the unit out on fault or damage the fan motor and blade. Preliminary symptoms can often be picked up during a preventative maintenance service if the technician knows what to look for.

The Remedy

Replacing the fan motor bracket is the easiest way to stop this problem. Genuine Mitsubishi Electric fan motor brackets typically cost around the $300-$400 mark supply and are installed by a professional service technician. This could be done DIY but is not recommended as the motor/s have to be removed in order to install the new bracket. Contact Mitsubishi Electric on 1300 292 732 to find your local service specialist.

Mitch, the technician that came out to inspect our unit was excellent. He arrived promptly and conducted a thorough service. The unit on the property was about 15 years old but he found major faults that required it to be immediately shut down at the mains. Drainage tubes propped up on cardboard boxes, sagging in the middle. The fan axle wrapped in electrical wires, and rubber mounts that had delaminated due to friction and heat. He provided photos of everything, and a quotations for repair and replacement. Frankly, Mitch might have stopped the house burning down, and for that, he and T&K get a five star review.

The T&K crew are amazing. Special shout out to Nicole for being so friendly helpful, understanding, and a straight up communication Queen. Steve is professional and helpful. We had a few tradies through, because the job wasn't straight forward, they were all friendly, helpful, super polite, and didn't leave rubbish everywhere. 10/10 would recommend.

We have been using TK Airpower now for a number of years to service or repair our reverse cycle aircon. Living out of town you rely on punctuality and professional work. On every occasion our expectations have been more than met. The company offers an annual maintenance service and performance check which in our case has been done by Nathan who has advised of any problems and carried out any necessary repairs in an efficient and cordial manner. We find the service charge when compared to other electrical service companies highly favourable and payable by card on the day. Our trust in the company has been extended to having no hesitation in leaving the service team alone to finish the job when we had to attend to an unscheduled appointment.

Absolutely fantastic service. I was referred to this business by Mitsubishi as they are an authorised dealer for the brand as I had issues with my WiFi connection. Steve was so accommodating. To the point of after I had contacted them for help he followed up with a phone call and an email with information on how to go about reconnecting the WiFi side of my system. This level of service in this day and age is very rare . I highly recommend this company and will continue to use it in the future for all of my aircon needs. Regards Scott G

We recently spoke with T&K AirPower about supply and fitting of a new ducted reverse cycle air conditioner for our home, we’ve always had evaporative ducted air-conditioning but never refrigerated. They gave us a few options but we went for the Mitsubishi Electric knowing they’re one of the best on the market, they also advised us adding the Air Touch 5 controller so we can control via an app and also turn on our system prior to getting home. Installation went smoothly, the guys were on time, friendly and communicated well, they showed us how to use the system and cleaned up before leaving. We will definitely tell our friends and refer T&K AirPower to others, Thx Adam and Cindy
