Pana that's it then, will ask the electrical shop on the extended warranty thingy

My Panasonic non inverter last me for 10 years and still quiet when I'm using it at night.
I always service it once a year

No need to extend the warranty, don't waste money on this. As said, clean the filter once every 2 weeks and service it once a year.

Problem is Inverter board is sensitive to our dirty TNB current...

I dont blame the electronics but TNB current is unstable... I have a Electricity stabiliser and it is constant flashing informing me the current is unstable... which can fry a inverter pcb board...

Get additional warranty for piece of mind...

Unstable can be due to various reasons.
Did they come and tighten then incoming cables? This is the main thing to be done. With such move, my voltage from 255V dropped to 240V.

The Transformer room is old.... that is back in my hometown...

in KL I live in Condo... the current much stable in KL

but to save RM150 and take risk... nah I rather spend RM150 for additional warranty (5 years full coverage) RM30 per year only ba....

Good luck on this, but do read what does that covers.
Still, getting TNB to fix the bloody problem are more important.

lol...I have 2 unbranded been running for 15yrs + and a Pana compressor for the same amount of time, but had changed for a used head unit, recently, due to internal noise

You go try talking to TNB laaa they are even better than Tai Chi Master....

they give reasons like tikus, cacing, cicak etc etc....

That should be pretty easy to fix.

Most likely the hole that the motor shaft joint the swing blade is broken, hence loose. You could use super glue to clamp the crack (assuming a crack) or use something (like newspaper) to hold the shaft in the widened hole

I'm not a good man on this, I'll go to their office and screw them upside down.
While TNB is a monoploy company, they still need some reputation.
If you want a more gentle way, tribunal court also will do.

just installed few pana airconds for new house

1 of the 2.5hp model seems giving trouble, model is CS KC24QKH (deluxe non-inverter with the econavi and ionizer model)

after installation, all units tested 2 hours without issue
few days later, when back to do some house cleaning and switch on the ac, noticed the timer light is blinking in amber color. at first thought wrongly press timer button, played around with the remote still the light blinking even restarted a few times. the problem when the light is blinking is the AC will auto-off after like 30-45mins

i then decided to off the AC and let it rest for an hour or so, then started it again
the blinking amber light is now gone but noticed after 30mins or so, while the AC is on, suddenly no air blow out from the indoor unit while the vent is open and paused ....no more swing. Then some weird noise as if the unit is pumping large amount of water , this lasted a few mins before the unit operate normal back (air blowing and vents moving), after an hour or so the same thing happened and self recovered in a few mins

any idea what is wrong with the AC ? during installation, one of the 1hp aircond also have this timer light blinking amber and auto off by itself, but that happens once and so far never happened again. this 2.5hp model is kinda giving me some worry as it has 2 weird symptoms (1st blinking light and auto off, 2nd operations paused and weird water noise)

apporeciate anyone exp with pana ac, what is the issue here ?



and 1 more thing, the operating noise for the 2.5hp is quite high , switch to quite mode will reduce a bit ......is this also normal?

Gas leak and compressor cut off.

gas leak .......omg
i've called for panasonic technician to come check, any idea whether they have any tools to detect where gas leak

or would they be bother is it is gas leak since they only sell the AC ??

another thing what's the water pumping noise then ??
i did not add any external pump to drain the ac water

Just check the gradient to fall one side at outlet pipe portion, do not installed too flat can be store up much water on the other side.

1. Daikin = Japan company. GA = Local sales & service. Before Daikin GA, Daikin was represented by some other company. Now all Daikin are Daikin GA.

2. If you want it to LOOK cool. Sure. If you want an air con that will cool you and your room down, Daikin GA is a good choice.


Not worthwhile for the extended warranty. And read the T&C properly. Don't be shocked later if they tell you repair takes up to 90 days blah blah.

most likely your flaring side has leak

I also experienced this when they installed my aircond, the flare has minor leak

at beginning, the aircond was cold, but with the minor leak, i am loosing the gas and after 2 weeks, it wasn't cold anymore

the panasonic guys came and check and found minor leak on the flare, then i called my installed to redo the flare, now it's normal again, very cold on 23c

Adi analysed before lo, cut cost on material to make it cheaper is more worst and more 'effective' than compressor cut cost itself.

Use lower grade aluminium, when new sparkling clean, when used, here rusty there rusty. The next thing will be less and less colder, after 5 years usage kong then someone will said 'if can last for 5 years consider very good adi'.

Really sick of this kind of handicap farking mindset, electronics is not make to withstand 5 years only, if yes, save your farking hard earn money and buy the China brand, also can last you for 5 years. Pana will be happy to see those 5 years mindset though.

Is Mitsubishi Mr. Slim model non inverter still available with R22 gas or any shop still selling them? How about Pana non inverter with R22 gas?

Other than Daikin, any other recommended brand that comes with R22..preferably Jap brand.

Any reason must prefer R22?

Later phase out you kena con by Aircon man lah
