Post your aircon & ref problems...

  • Ano po kaya problema na ST Daikin Inverter namin? 3 days na hindi tuloy-tuloy ang lamig nya pag on sa tanghali. Pero bandang hapon, gabi hanggang umaga normal at consistent ang lamig (25 degrees Celcius, max fan). Inoof sya 6am-12nn. On ulit ng 12nn. Ok sya for 20 minutes ok din ikot ng outdoor fan. After 20 minutes hihinto ang ikot ng outdoor fan. Tuloy ang andar ng indoor pero di na malamig ang buga. Pansin ko pag di mainit ang panahon normal ang operation nya. Pag maiinit ang panahon pag on sa tanghali sandali lng ang lamig then hihinto narin ikot ng fan ng outdoor. Bandang hapon na ulit pag di na mainit ang panahon babalik ang normal na function. kelangan na ba charge ng freon? 1.8k-2k daw charging ng freon. Salamat sa sasagot.

    how old na ang unit?
    curious lang ako kung ano/saan ang location ng outdoor unit mo.

    Nabili po nmin brandnew. Installed June 23, 2020. Nasa ilalim po ng overhang ng bubong. Di po sya exposed sa araw.

  • ^regular cleaning?
    ulitin ko lang yun tanong ko sa itaas, saan located ang outdoor unit mo? with proper ventilation ba?
    but better ipa-diagnose/check up mo muna. don't jump to conclusion with freon recharge.
  • ^regular cleaning?


    Last cleaned 2 months ago. Right now 6:34pm, normal at consistent ang lamig. Umaandar din ang fan ng outdoor. Bukas ng tanghali pag mainit ang panahon mgloloko ulit. Saka lng titino sa hapon, buong gabi hanggang umaga. Pansin ko pag makulimlim or maulan di sya ngloloko pag on sa tanghali.
  • ^hindi mo pa rin sinasagot yun tanong ko;
    how's the location ng outdoor unit mo? confined or with proper ventilation ba?
  • Di po sya confined. Maluwag po both sides. May 2 feet gap between wall & backside. Open space ang harap ng unit.
  • ^hindi naman sya direct hit ng sunlight at high noon until the afternoon?
    kung hindi naman, like what i said ipa-check up mo na.
  • ^hindi naman sya direct hit ng sunlight at high noon until the afternoon?


    Hindi po...for the last 3 years ngayon lng nagloloko. Anyway, tnx po. wary lng ako sa mga aircon techs madami nanaga. Bytheway icheck pa nman po ang PSI if need irecharge?
  • Bytheway icheck pa nman po ang PSI if need irecharge?


    yes, may leak yan kung sakali nagbawas. hanapin muna syempre kung saan ang leak bago mag-recharge.
    yet there could be somewhere/something else what's causing the problem. check up na.
  • Question po mga masters, we a have a daikin queen split type ac 1.5hp, and the issue we have is di umaandar si outdoor unit if nagpalit kami ng temp (i.e. from 27 to 26 etc) and ganon lang syan till uminit na ng gusto sa room namin, ginawa namin is in-off namin sya ng matagal, about 3 hours, then pag on uli namin ok na sya, minsan di umuubra, need pa na naka off ng more than 5 hours. Salamat po sa sasagot.
  • @seitansai

    could be a faulty thermistor/room temp sensor.
    call for service na.
  • @seitansai
    When was the last cleaning? If within the a month lang sir, tama si sir statix. Might be something faulty.

    If hindi recent ang cleaning, possibly hirap na yung outdoor unit at need na ng cleaning.
  • hey guys whats up

    tanong ko lang kung ilang years po ba lifespan ng aircon non inverter type ?

    ive had a carrier window type 1.5 hp for the past 8 years na po , cleaned every 4 months , pero nag rereklamo na kasi misis ko na hindi na ramdam yung lami nya at mid settings , and if i go beyond mid settings umi ingay na sya i dont know if its the motor or the fans making noise.

    some suggested that i have my freon , motor or capacitor checked up baka ito daw mga dahilan.

    or am i better off buying a replacement ?

    i've heard such cases that their non-inverter WT AC lasted 15yrs++
    tho we have here a 1.5hp kolin ST bought/installed since 2013. doing good still, busted capacitor lang ang naging problema just a couple of months after it's 1yr warranty expired.

    maybe it's time for it to retire na, and in 8yrs paying too much for the bills would be enough for me.
    bili na lang ako ng bago, inverter na this time.
  • So hapi to report, ok na ac nmin...capacitor ng outdoor ang pinalitan...tirik na tirik ang araw ngaun d2 sa loc namin pero up & running pa din ang outdoor & sakto/comfortable na ulit ang lamig ng room at 25°C+max fan.

    nice!
    fan at max all the way? hindi kayo comfortable with fan on AUTO? mas mabilis yan mag accumulate ng dust kung palagi ka naka-max imo.
  • @statix
    Di po comfortable pag di max setting nmin ng fan....nakacomfort nman po ung airflow...upward direction (coanda airflow)...tama po kayo, mabilis po mag-accumulate ng dust ang air filters pag max fan...remedy na lng po like weekly washing ng air filters & every 4 months DIY pressure washing ng indoor/outdoor...di po ako satisfied mgpacleaning...mabilisan lng kasi...sumisiksik lng lalo ang dumi sa loob ng indoor pag ipacleaning...

    ayus yan. it's just so happened na bumigay lang nang maaga yun capacitor mo which is not uncommon naman. it happened also with our kolin 2 months just after it's 1 year warranty expired. mura lang naman ang naging damage with the busted capacitor.
  • hello guys

    can i ask here or should i ask this on the electrician thread , ano po best brand ng capacitor na available dito sa atin for window type aircon ?

    plan to change the capacitor of my airconditioner. sstock pa ang capacitor niya and ive just read that a capacitor quality or performance goes down after long use and its best practice to change it to a new one every year.

    does your AC shows any signs of issues? why fix if ain't broken imo.
  • after replacing my 12 yr old capacitor , my aircon is like good as new. replaced it last saturday and took 3 days to observe.

  • mga bros hm normally paagawa ng e4 error sa beko fridge?<click here for link>
  • @ninja

    Naka-private yung video bro. Di makita. Hehehe
  • There's plenty of youtube videos where you can learn to charge freon. Mura na mga metro galing China. Ang isang generic tank ng freon sobrang mura rin. You practically pay for the whole tank when some aircon techs charge your freon. Cleaning is ridiculously easy as well. I have a plethora of different freons at home depending on the aircon unit. Basahin mo lang label ng outdoor condenser unit for it's specs. Bili rin kayo ng digital clamp meter para malaman mo ang threshold ng pag load ng freon.

    Sobra na ang isang oras para matutunan ang process na ito in my opinion and I'm just a regular joe.

    Be brave.

    this, meron nyan sa mga online shops.

  • After 1 year and 10 months, need na ng repair ng fridge namin (Panasonic NR-DZ601VGKP Frech Door Refrigerator). Lumalamig yung freezer pero wala sa Prime Fresh at Ref.

    According sa serviceman, defective na daw yung freezer sensor at kailangang palitan. No feedback yet kung magkano ang parts at labor charge.

    Here's another method..

    You're lucky if it's just a sensor probe that's busted.. Keep us posted!
  • Nasira nang tuluyan Samsung Inverter ref namin. Nung unang sira nagawa pa napaandar pa ng techinician. Kinargahan yata yung compressor not sure. Kaso di rin nagtagal nasira na naman. NI-check baka daw sa board. Eventually sabi sira na daw yung compressor di na magagawa. Expired na yung warranty ng compressor. Not sure ano gagawin. Worth it pa ba bumili ng pamalit na compressor or buy na lang ng bagong ref? Also, is there a chance na fixed nga ng technician nung una pero sa may mali syang nagawa kaya nasira naman yung compressor?
