Common Aircond Problems & How to Fix Them
Is your air conditioner not cooling properly, leaking water, or making strange noises? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Whether you own a Panasonic, Haier, or Midea aircond, these are the most common problems Malaysian homeowners face and how to fix them.
1. ❄️Aircond Not Cold❄️
This is the most common issue. It usually happens when the air filter is dirty, refrigerant gas is low, or the compressor isn’t working efficiently. Try cleaning your air filters first. If the problem continues, contact a professional technician for a gas refill or servicing.
Quick Tips:
- Clean the filter once every 2 weeks.
- Close all windows and doors during operation.
- Set temperature between 24°C–26°C for best performance.
2. 💧 Aircond Leaking Water💧
Leaking water is often caused by a clogged drainage pipe or dirty evaporator coil. Over time, dust and mold build-up can block the water flow.
Solution: Turn off your unit, clean the drain line, or book a chemical service with our team in Petaling Jaya or Damansara Perdana. Regular maintenance prevents this issue from recurring.
3.🔊 Aircond Making Strange Noises🔊
If you hear rattling, buzzing, or clicking noises, it may indicate loose parts, debris, or a fan motor issue. Do not ignore unusual sounds — it can lead to expensive repairs later.
Solution: Switch off the unit immediately and contact a certified technician for inspection.
4. 🦠Aircond Emitting Bad Smell🦠
A foul smell could mean mold inside the filter or stagnant water in the drain pan. This affects indoor air quality and can cause health problems.
Solution: Perform a chemical wash or replace the filter. If the smell persists, our team can inspect your Panasonic, Haier, or Midea aircond to find the root cause.
5.⚡Aircond Automatically Turns On/Off⚡
This could be due to sensor malfunction or a faulty PCB board. It’s common in older units or after a power surge.
Solution: Reset your unit by switching off the power for 10 minutes. If the problem continues, let our experts diagnose the control board or sensor system.
6. Aircond Remote Not Working
Sometimes, the issue is as simple as dead batteries or a blocked sensor on the unit.
Solution: Replace the batteries and clean the sensor area. If still not working, we can help test your remote and indoor unit sensor.
