i have a panasonic aircon. i use it once a week. after using for 11 months (from date of purchase), the fuse on the main (indoor) unit circuit board blown (as told by panasonic technician). after pcb replacement, everything was ok until today (4 months later), the aircon is not working. i think it is the same problem.

before the panasonic, i had a toshiba. it went dead too, hence i changed it to panasonic.

any idea what could be the culprit?
is this a common panasonic aircon defect?

what do you mean properly fused? as usual, there is a main circuit breaker.
i did some measurement, notice something weird:

when cb is closed:
wall switch open (off) = 0vac
wall switch close (on) = 240vac
^ this seems normal

when cb is opened:
wall switch open (off) = 0vac
wall switch close (on) = 30vac
^ this is weird. why am i getting 30vac ?

this 30vac appears on the aircon power point and the other 2 points that share the same cb.

Hi everyone. I'd like to double check my recent purchase / installation.

I had a basic daikin 1hp unit installed (I can't recall the model but is really the cooling king most basic r22 model)

Is it normal or by design for the bottom portion of the evaporator coils to be flooded ie having about 1-2 cm of water always present at the drainage  until it is in permanent contact with the fins and the coils?

The drainage was not done so properly by the installer, resulting in occasional water leaking through the indoor unit into my room. For the first time when I was trouble shooting, I noticed no matter how I adjust or try to drain away the water, there will eventually be an amount build up.

Another situation is that the air cond is too cold, in a medium room where I live, even 28c setting with low fan will result in too cold.

I have a feeling both are related to the improper installation.

Hi guys,why my new air cond compressor when on running time,some time got water came out from the hole bellow the compressor?I asking the air cond installer they say it is normal for all air cond because when the compressor was cold, it will come out water?

I see on some outdoor units that there is ice forming up at the larger pipe(Circled in the pic)

What does this mean?

please help my case too. my pipe don't have ice but the water keep leaking (look at the pic). is it normal?

Bro.However, this only started happening from this week only. I don't know why it happened since previously It didn't happen like this. What do you think bro? so it's not a leakage since the water dropping very fast?

so the condensation that cause water drops 2x previously will cause the gas run out faster or not? Top up gas will cost bomb

Hi, now we are testing Electrolux Air Conditioner ESV09CRC-A3.
The air conditioner is nice but it takes too long to cold the room.
It has indoor display and 3D Air Flow.
Compare to my Panasonic Air Conditioner CS-S10RKH-1 that cold the room faster than Electrolux.

I didn't calculate. We put Electrolux in Shop Lot for 8 months then after that remove.
Electrolux is my brother chose wan.

I support Panasonic and my brother doesn't support Panasonic.

Alot of serviceman themself not keep up with the technology.

Yes, you are right, by facing the aircond outlet directly, inverter is not as cold as non-inverter after the room cooled down. This is becos inverter start to reduce compressor and fan speed to maintain the room temperature. In the other hand non-inverter will either full ON or full OFF to maintain the average temperature, when it fully ON, the BTU and coldness is on its max, thats why it gave a wrong perception to ppl non-inverter is colder than inverter. In fact the goal of both inverter and non-inverter is to maintain room temp same as what you set, and the former did a far more superior job compare to latter due to continuous feedback control system.

Don't be surprise different serviceman/salesman will come out with different statement/opinion, alot of time i found their theory is funny. I have to say equip yourself with knowledge so that you won't be brought to Holland easily.

My 5-6 year old Sanyo 1hp aircond leaking like no tomorrow. thought of changing to a new aircond.

My room isn't big. So 1hp is defintiely enough.

looking for a reliable and can cool the room. Cheap price around RM900. The better the less coz need save up some money for setup

Any recommendation?

Its an excuse. The aircond is >5 years old.

Btw, is mitsubishi brand good? Better than Daikin?

Which model of Panasonic u use before?

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or Mitsubishi Electric? I assume ur is ME since 'easy clean'.

I have 2 MHI inverter, 1HP and 2HP, 1 ME inverter, 1HP.

My MHI 1HP is premium model, alot more functions and power saving than ME 1HP non-deluxe model (0.67kW vs 0.8W), but cost the same. I would say ME is expensive.

One thing i like MHI the most is the 'powerful' mode which can run the compressor @ more than rated max capacity for 15 minutes to cool the room faster. Another advantage is the indoor unit of MHI inverter is slim, slimmer than 'Mr Slim' ME, the height is around 10" only, both 1HP and 2HP size are identical, very suitable if the space between windows top and ceiling is limited.

Why you don't enjoy the air conditioner?

Air Conditioner design is not important. No one will complaint if design not good.

Air conditioner use for cooling haha. We chose A/C depends on brand.

Panasonic look nice and cooling.

single phase TNB, can install all the following:

3hp
1.5hp
1hp
1hp

total 4 airconds

Ur models should be same as mine, GJ10VA. Me too put at guess room.

Another MHI 1hp inverter I put at my master bedroom since is more saving, 1242kWh/yr. This one i turn ON 27'C 10.5 hours/day during night.

My family new house, has bought 6 Daikin AC (not sure what model), I felt that since they changed the name to Daikin from York, now the feeling for the air is not as cold as before, probably this is my personal feeling.

But my condo now is using Panasonic which serve very well, should be 7 years old now, recently searching for another Panasonic AC to be install in living room, seem like people suggesting on this model - CS-S10RKH-1
