I have two compressors outside for AC units called minisplits These compressors have about a 2’ x 4’ circuitboard laying across the top of the unit. They were submerged in the recent Houston flood for about 3 or 4 days. Can they be saved? Dennis
If you still haven’t powered up the system you might be able save them! You’ll need to pull them off and wash them down with distilled water with some bleach (as well as the unit as a whole with pressure wash). Once you’ve cleaned off any junk inspect them to make sure none of the components are damaged or any corrosion damage. You’ll need to make sure they are fully dried before powering up again. Good luck!
If there was no power the whole time they were submerged, there could be a chance the boards could work again. I’d remove them, clean corrosion off the best you can, and give it a shot. You’ve got rust in the rest of the system to worry about as well. If you take it on, this is going to be a challenge!
