Yes, and not the battery problem is the board problem, everything normal and power up but it just dont want to move. Will go buy the parts when I go to US or when I see it in ebay. Not urgent for me.

Anywhere go back and try to direct charge.
If your transformer step down were weak doesn't full supply may defected your batteries life's an issue.

So far KL got more high rise, have anyone installed multi split unit?

If have good reviews please come in

Thanks

that day was thinking to take multi split unit because easier no need to put so many outdoor units
cheap by 300-400 compared to multi split (1HP*2 and 2.5HP *1)
buy condenser, then buy blowers
but installation seems more expensive (shop told me that) and in the case of condenser breakdown, all 3 blowers habis, cant use sweat.gif

that's why the shop also recommend me take split unit better
for split unit, if one spoil just change one only, still got another for backup

the tauke told me so far he havent encounter any split unit inverter PCB failure yet hmm.gif
and he told me that most of the time if got problem, most probably is due to man fault (kena the condenser internal part during servicing/washing), true? hmm.gif

now my home still using 3 national aircon with the greenbox starter, and a panasonic most basic 1HP all still going strong
old stuffs got better quality and more durable thumbup.gif
but consume more electricity as well sweat.gif

Hi all, I have 4 airconds in my condo, and the condensate (water) hoses all feed into one pipe hidden in the false ceiling and ultimately drain out via the bathroom drainage system.

The problem now is the pipe is fills up with "jelly" and water is overflows and leaks out of my A.C units. One aircond service guy said a long term fix is to attach a pump to keep the condensate lines clear.

Anybody have any experience solving this problem or can recommend a good AC contractor in KL/PJ who can help sort out this situation (either buy installing pumps or re-doing the piping)?

Thanks.

My view,
install a pump for condensate to flow is overkill.

Just clean the drainage with some chemical under high pressure water or compressed air, then it should be good for few years.

Those jelly built up due to dirt in the blower unit that follow the condensate into the drainage system, so keep the blower clean should last few years without much problem after the cleaning of the drainage system.

This is common drain water for long term usage.

Yeah... Been at my place slightly more than 10 years and the algae build-up seems to be getting more and more frequent & as a result I have to call the AC service guys more often... That's why I'm looking for a more permanent or at least longer-term fix! icon_question.gif

Actually you can try to monitor them from remove front AC cover until remove drain pan.

Once you know how to remove it and follow by using slight same size hose to be slot in the aircond hose at drain pan discharge point, follow by use mount to flushing in some air at hose to the drain hose discharge point, or using air blower and refill with some water at drain pan to be continue flushing until the water running smoothly..

The solution to be free of charge right, below my air blower should helpful rclxms.gif

Don't know where to ask but I'll post it here anyways...

I have a 1hp York aircond in one of my rooms and the external unit is noisy when it's running.

Short of replacing the external unit (perhaps with a 2nd hand one), anything that can be done?

Thanks.

Try to call Aircon service, if really compressor mounting worn out may replace for new rubber mounting only, if fan motor bearing worn out can be replace the whole motor only.

Overall cost may still cheaper than you buy 2nd hand unit.
