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 .......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

Whats the market price to install (with copper & water pipe) 1hp r410a gas non inverter ac. Middle room single terrace. Not looking for conceal installation. ...since old house. Power point available

hi, may i ask bedroom around 19ftx 17ft, ceiling slightly below 9ft, how many hp aircon needed? Currently i running a 2.5hp non inverter but always set 26-27c cause too cold, my compressor is dead hence looking for a replacement. Any suggestion model wit long air flow and easy maintenance /access to blower?

Between daikin ftkf, ftku & pana pu-xkh & xpu-wkh, which has better build quality, easier access to blower & stronger coil fins (wont easy deform when wash)?

Want to ask process of warranty claim with panasonic, been usng few weeks cs-xpu18wkh, suddenly noticed there is clicking sound for the up down flap, when i set it to static no sound.
Does warranty cover onsite or how does it works? Also need register pana club before can warranty?

Am trying to reproduce the sound to record video but not occuring now. Do you know if the double flap (up down) is connected to single motor or separate motor? Maybe the gears sound if 2 flap to 1 motor..... would open casing and check myslef if my ladder isnt broken


So far apart from the sound, loving this unit long air flow, constant comfort and big flap opening, can see easily if fan is dirty or clean.
Also more comfort than my previous pana cs-kc24qkh that was either too cold or stuffy when set to 26c

After recording proof that sound ok only when swing, panasonic decided to replace me a whole swing/air vent for my xpu18wkh.

So far ok. No more sound from swing n can have a noiseless sleep. The blower shaking noise also never reoccur so far after replace the swing vents, hopefully dont reoccur. Technician wanted to blame my copper pipe saying old developer provided pipes if stuck sometimes cause rattling sound also... I hantam back as i pulled brand new 0.7mm pipes conceal for this 2 months old unit.... Hopefully wont reoccur, dun wan debate too much with pana whose fault is it....
