Common faults we repair

Six categories cover almost every callout we get.

ac_unit

AC not cooling

Dirty coils (chemical wash), low refrigerant (leak detection + repair), capacitor failure, PCB failure (inverter units), compressor failure.

water_drop

Water leaking from indoor unit

Blocked drain line (90% of cases), sloped drain, cracked drain pan, condensate pump failure.

volume_up

AC making noise

Fan motor bearing failure, loose bracket, refrigerant flow noise (low gas), compressor rattle.

power_off

AC not turning on

Capacitor, fuse, ELCB tripping, PCB failure, thermostat failure.

flash_on

AC tripping ELCB

Capacitor short, compressor short, water ingress to electrical, ELCB itself faulty.

air

Strange smell

Mould (needs chemical wash), drain pan biofilm, refrigerant leak.

Our diagnostic process

Five steps before we sell you a part.

01

Visual + auditory

We check the obvious before testing anything. Wrong-sized fuse, loose bracket, visible leak.

02

Electrical

Multimeter test on capacitor, contactor, PCB voltage, motor windings.

03

Refrigerant

Manifold gauge test, temperature differential check.

04

Diagnosis

We tell you what's actually wrong and the repair-vs-replace economics if relevant.

05

Repair vs replace decision

We'll tell you straight when replacement makes more economic sense than repair. Common cases:

memory

Inverter PCB over RM 600 on a 5+ year old unit

Replacement usually wins.

compress

Compressor on any unit over 7 years

Replacement almost always wins.

science

R22 system needing major refrigerant work

Phase-out makes replacement strategic.

trending_down

Multiple major repairs in 12 months

Pattern suggests systemic decline.

You make the call; we give you the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Most likely (in order of frequency): dirty coils needing chemical wash, low refrigerant from a leak, capacitor failure on the outdoor unit, or PCB failure on inverter units. We diagnose before quoting — RM 80–120 call-out, waived if you proceed with repair.

Diagnostic patterns

Common aircond problems by symptom

Six recurring symptoms we diagnose every week. Each has a small set of likely root causes and a typical price range.

thermostat

Aircond tak sejuk

Aircond not cooling

Most common: filter clogged (chemical wash territory, RM 180-250), low refrigerant from a slow leak (RM 250-550 top-up + leak test), or compressor capacitor failure (RM 115-160 fixed). Diagnostic from RM 80-150.

volume_up

Aircond bunyi bising

Aircond making noise

Bearings on indoor or outdoor fan motor (RM 250-450), loose mounting bracket, fan blade obstruction, or compressor end-of-life (the worst case — replacement decision territory).

water_drop

Aircond bocor air

Aircond leaking water

Almost always a blocked condensate drain (RM 80-120 to clear) — algae, dust, or kinked pipe. Less often: drain pan crack, ice forming on the coil (refrigerant issue), or improper installation slope.

sentiment_very_dissatisfied

Aircond bau busuk

Aircond bad smell

Mould build-up on the coil or drain pan. Chemical wash (RM 180-250 wall split, RM 280-380 cassette) is the correct fix — surface deodorisers mask the problem for days, not months.

compress

Aircond hidup tapi tak sejuk

Compressor runs but no cooling

Refrigerant low (leak somewhere — RM 250-550 top-up plus leak detection), expansion valve stuck, or capacitor degraded. Diagnostic separates the three quickly.

settings_remote

Remote aircond tak berfungsi

Remote not working

Usually IR sensor on the indoor unit or remote battery — cheapest fault to fix. PCB infrared receiver failure is rarer but does happen on older units.
