Does anyone have encountered this?
My air-con caught fire in the earlier morning of Sunday, luckily no life or large damage. On Monday I contacted Panasonic because this was the second air-con that caught fire in 3 years plus time. I want to know it was device or installation problem.

Is it a 1hp power air-con?My air-con caught fire in the earlier morning of Sunday, luckily no life or large damage. On Monday I contacted Panasonic because this was the second air-con that caught fire in 3 years plus time. I want to know it was device or installation problem.

Do you use same air-con contractor, or same person for installation?
1 HP = 745.699872 Watts. So not much of current use. Unlike old non-inverter type, no surge current either. Roughly 250V x 4A already 1kW. No need really big wire gauge actually. The problem might be the wire used is joint along the path because it was short. This might be the problem like shown in warning. Not only that. Probably the wires connected to the air-con were not tightened up properly, thus heated up over time. This is more likely the cause. My old Panasonics which I replaced recently probably has been in service for 15 years at least
