Post your aircon & ref problems...

  • Mga sirs Panasonic botoom freezer owner here, di ko alam bakit nagkakaroon ng dents un botoom area ng fridge and papaano siya tangalin matatangal pa kaya?
  • yup, tawagan mo na lang sir. sana nga capacitor lang.


    Since walang sumasagot sa service center nila, i tried replacing the capacitors and bad news same pa rin na ayaw gumana ang fan ng condenser kapag yung ac sa master’s bedroom ang naka on, still ok naman kapag dun sa 2nd room ang naka on. Anyway might replace siguro with an inverter sa next na uwi namin, By the way can i still use the old copper pipes kapag dun new ac?

    i would insist bago na lahat ulit.
  • Sino dito nag kakadent yung ref di naman tinatamaan ng kung anong bagay.
  • Yung samsung ref na nabili namen 3 yrs ago ineexpect namin na prone sa dent at madali makita dahil glossy at stainless steel ang finish pero so far wala akong nakikitang dent. Anyway para saken normal lang yung mga small dents sa ref. For sure sir may tumatama dyan di lang napapansin especially kung palaging nadadaanan yan.
  • Mine is like already a piece of artwork. These super stretched-out brushed steel is really darn soft. I can make a dent out of it just by pressing in a finger with little to no effort at all

    @ShinichiKudo
    Try shining a flashlight over it, the reflections will really show up those darn dents
  • Hello, nag hahanap ako ng shop ng open. need ko 35uf 450v capacitor. baka may makatulong
  • ^Sarado non essential establishments so best bet mo siguro is online. Try to search for reputable FB sellers over at marketplace perhaps. Check with them if they can send via Grab Express or Lalamove
  • @khernitzz

    Ok pa naman sir. Sa side ko rin tinitignan para mas makita kung meron dents pero so far wala pa rin naman.

  • Thanks Musicgeek and Shinichikudo
  • Mga boss.. ask lang po:
    Nagpalinis po ako ng aircon last january 2020.. R407c ang dati nyang refrigerant.. at dahil medyo bitin na sa freon na R407c ang AC namin, pinapalitan namin ng R22.. dahil wala po kami makuhanan ng R407c.. So ngayong april parang hirap na hirap magpalamig ng kwarto itong AC.. 1HP po sya.. halos 7hours namin gamit sa gabi.. pero mahina talaga ang buga ng lamig nya.. ano po kaya ang posibleng problema ng AC namin..

    Salamat po sa makakatugon ng aking katanungan! ????
  • Any physical evidence of refrigerant leaking? Any frost formation? If none, my next suspect would be the improper extraction of R407C before refilling it with R22.
  • @ShinichiKudo

    Sir yung sa amin kakaiba eh as in parang tigyawat nakaka irita tignan yung itsura sa malapitan pero pag normal view di mo siya mapapansin. And try ko pukpukin di naman agad nabaon mukang matibay naman pero nag tataka ako bakit ang daming dents.

    Nadadaanan naman siya ng baby ko pero 1 year old lang un eh di din naman nya pinupukpok.
  • @december1986

    Nako wag na wag mo pukpukin, super unat na brushed stainless steel yan, walang room para imasahe yan, kahit ipa-PDR mo pa yan, aayawan ka nila.
  • Badtrip samsung inverter aircon namin. Hindi gumagana, pinaayos nung sat pero after 4 days sira na naman. 5 1/2 years pa lang yan, di naman todo ang gamitam, pero ilang beses na pina-repair. Usually noon, hihina nang hihina ang lamig hanggang sa tuluyan nang mawala, ipapaayos, tapos ganun ulit magiging problem. Same cycle. Sabi ng mekaniko, mahina na daw talaga. May kailangan yatang papalitan. Nasayang yung binayad na 3600.

    kailan ka huli nagpa-cleaning? nag-iingay din kasi pag sobrang dumi/barado na ang evaporator.
  • Boss hingi sana ako ng opinion niyo. meron kasi kami panasonic inverter aircon, split type. siguro 5-6yrs na din yun. Bale nung Dec 2019, napansin namin na medyo mahina na yung buga ng hangin, akala namin madumi lang. pinacheck namin sa technician 1, ang sabi samin capacitor. Tiwala, umoo kami. Nung pagdating naman ni technician 2, wala daw capacitor yung unit namin, fam motor yung may problema, pero try muna daw namin gen cleaning baka makuha sa general cleaning. Nagpacleaning na kami and pinaquote na din namin yung fan motor. Lumamig naman ulit si unit kaya hindi na kami nag-follow up. Nung Feb 2020, humina ulit kaya tawag ulit kami kay service center, pinadala niya sila technician1 and team niya. Pinatignan ulit namin, may minesure sila sa outdoor unit, mahina daw. Malinis naman daw yung unit. Sabi samin, irereport daw nila na baka nga fan motor. After several days, may tumawag and sabi naman nila, mukhang pcb din yung may problem, almost 9k daw. Pero papatry daw muna nila yung spare na pcb and fam motor kung alin dun yung talagang problema. Eh kaso, naabutan na ng ecp. Ganon ba talaga kamahal paps yung parts and worth it pa bang papalitan yun? Kasi halos gagastos kami ng 20k, eh kalahati na nun yung bago. Ngayon mahina na din yung buga ng aircon namin tumutulo pa indoor. Salamat mga paps, at pasensya na napahaba.

  • mag tatanong lang po, meron ako 6 sq meters na kwarto na may .5hp conventional aircon (panasonic cw-sc63jph)

    ang inside room temp is 28.4 deg c
    ang inside room humidity 36%

    ang outside room temp is 31.2 deg c

    ang aircon output temperature is 9.6 deg c (naka todo ang thermostat)

    measurement time: 4:44 AM MNL, aircon running time as of measurement 6 hours and running...

    hangang dito na lang ba ang output na lamig ng .5hp na aircon?

    sabi kase sa google dapat less 20 deg c ang output VS sa inside room air which kung sa akin ay 28.4 - 20 = 8.4 deg C (bale nag kakalayo lng ng 1 deg C)

    mga 5 years naman na ito aircon, huli linis 6 months ago

    may ilalamig pa ba output nito?

    heat contributors 1 cctv DVR (24hrs), 1 electric fan and 2 persons, 1 laptop tapos ilaw? isa 5w LED bulb na bihira naman gamitin

  • heat contributors 1 cctv DVR (24hrs), 1 electric fan and 2 persons, 1 laptop tapos ilaw? isa 5w LED bulb na bihira naman gamitin


    any window/wall facing the sun? insulated ceiling? room sealed?
  • no window or wall facing sun (dikit dikit kase bahay dito), yung metal roof lang naka bilad sa araw kase 2nd floor yung room then yung metal roof na at wala 3rd floor (kisame lang pagitan) with non insulated ceiling, room sealed -

    aircon condenser is facing open space without direct sunlight contact (nasa balcony na may kisame at bubong/roof)

    nung kinuha ko 1st measurement is 4:44 AM so siguro na alis na natin yng external heat factors (sun light/existing heat) plus medyo matagal na din umanadar yung aircon (6hrs ++) para palamigin ang kwarto

    ngayon time mesurement 12:22 PM / sun directly above the metal roof na may kisame/ceiling naman (kisame is warm to the touch)

    ang inside room temp is 32.7 deg c
    ang inside room humidity 32%

    ang outside room temp is 33.5 deg c

    ang aircon output temperature is 13.3 deg c (naka todo ang thermostat)

    aircon running time as of measurement 13 hours and running..

    so 33.5 outside - 20 = 13.5 deg C output (actual 13.3 deg c)

    ganito lang ba talaga kaya ng .5 hp na aircon sa maliit na 6 sq meters na kwarto?

    try to experiment muna, after ECQ at meron na hardware stores na open,,, lagyan mo ng insulation ang ceiling mo, kahit by thumb tacks or staple tacker lang just to hold the insulation temporarily sa ceiling(sa loob ng room) then observe.
  • The individual plastic box compartments in my 14cu Panasonic inverter fridge starting to break to pieces. I bought it last 2011 (9 years old now) and I'm starting to worry the availability of those accessories in Pana's service centers given the age of my unit. The compressor and everything else is really fine except one instance where fuse broke (5A). Replaced it and it revived like new.

    Just in case availability becomes a problem (plastic compartments) - how did you guys deal with such issues? I'm thinking of replacing them with aluminum through the 'suking' aluminum/glass dealers and have it customized.
  • boss magkano kaya pagawa nung ref namin, nabutas ng sinundot ng kutsilyo nung kumuha ng yelo?
  • Mga 1-2k kung kakayanin sa hinang, pero kung wala, yung buong evaporator assembly niyan eh kailangang palitan.

    Ito yung kinakatakot ko sa Pana fridge din namin. Tried calling cs a couple of times to have some replacement items buffered, and they said they need to source it out sa malaysia pa and it costs a heft.

    Ito kinagustuhan ko sa Kelvinator fridge ng parents ko, kumakatok lang ako sa gate sa office nila sa zuellig loop a for an obscure hinge part ng freezer door for a 15-year old something model that costs like 20 pesos hehe. Mas maganda talaga pag local brands ibang-iba ang after-sales support
