    double whammy yan ah! pareho talaga sira? baka mas maigi pa-repair or better yet buy a new one nalang.
  • @ninjababez
    Boss magkaiba unit, 2 unit yan. Yung isa may leak sa condenser kaya hilaw lamig, mababa na karga ng freon. Yung isang unit naman yung evaporator naman, maingay sa loob parang may waterfalls ang tunog. Magkno kaya bnew nung parts para may idea nko. Hirap kasi 2 unit agad to pag bumili ako bago. Hayyzzzt narerepair ba ang condenser? Ano yun hinihinang?
  • Eto quote ni LG sken para sa 2 unit. Napakasaklap hehe 5years warranty daw sana ang condenser at evaporator kaso 5years and 8months na unit ko. Kung pwede lang sana palitan yung year sa resibo hayyyy

  • Good pm. Hingi po sana ng idea kung magkano gastos pa repair - palit bearing? sabi nung cleaning palitin na bearing kaya maingay ang outdoor unit.

    Samsung split type unit - 10 years old minsan lang magamit pero alaga naman sa linis. Thanks!
  • masters baka matulungan nyo naman ako, ung panasonic aircon namin, ung analog timer nya, pag sinet mo, para mag timer ng ilang oras, dapat ang takbo ng oras pabalik sa zero para mag ahut off after ng sinet na time, ang nangyayari, lalo humahaba ang time so instead na pa balik na ng zero, nag didiretcho na sa 12 hrs.!!! aira na kaya ang timer nito or peede bang i DIY ko lang may ayos nito? TIA
  • ^ replace aircon timer mechanism na yan. kalasin mo yung timer mechanism tapos dalin mo sa electronics shop / aircon shop para may sample comparison...

    baka parang clockspring na need lang rewind/unwind no?
  • Kolin ST. Error Code 3. 2years old. Seldom used.
    Binahayan ng langam.
    Replace fan motor ang hatol.
    Maari bang marumi lang ang loob ng fan motor kaya nagloloko ang sensor?
    Sealed type daw kasi ang fan motor kaya pag nagloko ay replace agad.
    Swerte at hindi board.
  • Any reco for good aircon repair shop around marcos highway po? - marikina or lower antipolo.

  • panasonic window type 1HP, how much ang pag-dagdag ng freon ?
    yun kase ang suggestion ng technician nag-visit ngayon...

    thanks,
  • ^samin 2hp panasonic inabot ng 3.5k pero kasama na tapal / hinang ng butas. Normally hindi kelangan ng karga ng freon kung walang butas and or sira yan unit.
  • Yes, sealed system dapat yan, hindi mababawasan for at least 5 years bago mo need mag-top up. Compressors have small venting kaya nababawasan overtime, pero, in 5 years dapat within tolerances pa din yan.
  • Yung aircon ko parang meron nakalog pag nag automatic siya. Tutunog lang siya pag gumagana na yung compressor. Parang may wiggle yung blower. Ano kaya issue non? Baka meron kayo ma recommend sa Calamba area na mag aayos. Salamat.
  • salamat sa response @musicgeek, @khernitzz...
  • Good Morning po mga sir.

    Tanong ko lang po sana kung meron ng naka experience sa inyo ng error H99 sa Panasonic Inverters nyo? Bigla po kasing nag stop yung aircon namen and nag bi blink lang ng nag bi blink yung I-Auto X nya.
  • Hi mga bossing, tanong ko lang ung usual price ng system reprocess with freon charging for split type non-inverter unit.
    Un kasi ang nirecommend nung tech na maglilinis din sana ng unit. Thanks!
  • Cash-cow ang 'system reprocess' na term . Pag sinabihan ka ng ganyan, alam mo na ang balak nila. Mura lang ang refrigerant, R32 3kg for example is about 1,5k, and usually ang isang mini split system only needs a bit under 1kg. so factor in labor/professional fee, ikaw na ang magdecide kung tingin mo how much ang service nila.

    and did you bother to ask them why it needs that supposedly 'system reprocess' thing? nagpalit ka ba ng circuit board?
  • @Ferrari430 kakapaayos ko lang ng ref ko kanina. 5800 yung singil sakin for "system reprocess with freon charging". May halong goyo yung technician feeling ko 4800 lang talaga ang singilan nila sa ganun e.
  • Hi Guys! We just recently purchased a Panasonic NR-CY550Q ref. We followed the salesperson's instructions: wait 5 hours after delivery to let the ref settle in, run the ref at max temp for 2 hours (it was got really cold), wipe insides clean, then use as normal. The problem is, the fridge part doesn't seem to be cooling up despite it being on max settings while the freezer and the prime fresh sections are very cold at medium settings. Anybody have any suggestions? TYIA
  • Have you at least let it run 48 hours? Refrigerators nowadays has usage pattern analysis on how frequent you open the doors, how often the temperature dips in the cavity, etc. You can also check the bias settings where you can configure which compartment the refrigerator will prioritize first. If all else doesn't meet your expectations, then call the merchant/manufacturer.
  • ^ brand new, read the users manual - meron mga eco-navi sensors yan...

  • hi! Hingi sana ako ng advice. I have an LG GR-B2222SQBB bought last Dec 2018 so mag 2 years pa lang sya. Unfortunately last Wednesday ayaw na nyang lumamig. Called LG and the next day may nagpuntang technician to check. Sa board raw ang problem nagkaroon ng "over current", for replacement na raw at hindi sya covered ng warranty. Di naman kasi ako gumagamit ng AVR sa ref ko dahil wala akong idea at all na mas maganda pa lang may ganun sa inverter appliances. Tapos the next day, tinawagan ako ulit ng service center saying na need nila ung resibo para sa replacement ng compressor. Sabi ko ha? ang findings ng technician diba sa board ang problema. Ang sabi ng kausap ko para after palitan ng board at di pa rin gumana, nakaready na ung compressor. ???? so gagastos ako sa replacement ng board pero di pa nila sure kung sa board talaga ang problem? Nagdadalawang isip tuloy akong ipagawa. Ano sa tingin nyo? Meron ba sa inyo may similar experience? Salamat

    hindi ba 5yrs ang warranty ng compressor? have an assessment kung magkano total na gagastusin mo sa replacement ng parts. kung halos kaunti na lang baka mas better bumili ka na ng bago. get PANASONIC na then.
  • OCP is almost always a standard sa mga appliances ngayon, so I call BS to it. Have a second opinion or have it checked with a more thorough targeted troubleshooting. Ang mga subcon technicians usually mga 'palit-board gang' yan, wala na troubleshooting na nangyayari. Compressors are usually bullet-proof parts to the point they can claim 10-year warranties, so don't worry on losing its coverage and have your refrigirator checked by someone whose more willing to troubleshoot.
  • @statix salamat sa reply. 10 yrs warranty ung compressor ng LG pero nagdadalawang isip na ako ipagawa. Ilang beses na ako nag follow up ulit sa service center, nastress lang ako. Hirap pa naman mawalan ng ref lalo sa panahon ngayon, nag iistock kasi kami talaga ng pagkain. Also, hindi kaya kapag nasira na and narepair, maging mas prone sa sira in the future? Sa mga nabasa ko rin recently, hindi rin pala talaga recommended ang LG. Thinking of getting a new ref na lang, eyeing Panasonic NR BV320xsph. Reading for reviews pa pero so far, Panasonic ang lagi kong nakikitang nirerecommend
  • @khernitzz you are right, kaya nagdoubt rin ako sa sinabi ng mga nakausap ko from LG. I might look for another repair shop na lang, then probably sell the unit after repair. Nahassle kami sa LG brand so never again
  • ^ Panasonic NR BV320xsph
    that's exactly our new ref(15cuft) bought 2 yrs ago which is doing so far so good. and we have this another one na bottom freezer panasonic also 13cuft naman, iirc more than 10yrs na namin ginagamit na wala pang nagiging problema.

    Also, hindi kaya kapag nasira na and narepair, maging mas prone sa sira in the future?


    subjective yan imho. tho "some brands" are susceptible with certain parts na sirain talaga. we can't tell,,,
