Due to high copper prices ac manufacturers are now using lower gauge copper pipes to keep prices affordable. The first thing that would go bad in new AC would be its cooling coils or condenser coils.

PCB should be least of concern if you are using voltage / current breakers.

Also faults in PCB could be easily repaired. For 4-5 thousand rupees faulty PCB could be repaired in Lahore.

Regarding R410A gas US made gas is being sold for Rs 1500 per kg in refrigeration parts market. But ac technicians charge Rs 4000 per kg for just gas top up. I would recommend to buy your own gas and give it to technician for top up/refill.

Also you can't trust ac technicians. They would sell chinese gas calling it US made for the same price.

Regarding easy parts availability I would recommend Haier. Their evaporator / condenser coils are easily available in market.

Also their inverter ACs got port on indoor PCB to install a switch to manually lock it on 3A (UPS mode) without buying expensive UPS module.

Are horizontal and vertical flaps covered under warranty?

I have this TCL elite AC that has malfunctioning vertical flaps. They would go to sides and then abruptly come to center. Don't know how they developed this fault. Any idea if they would entertain such warranty claim?

any update?
and how's your other tcl miracle now? any faults/issues faced?

[ch.talal]

Didn't get those inner vertical grills fixed. TCL miracle is working fine

[saqibhassan95]

thanks alot
I bought tcl t3 pro recently
didn't install, just unboxed yet
that's why wanted to know how tcl 2-3 years old units are going so far

My miracle is one year old now.

Used extensively in summers n winters both.

Blower is making pharr pharr noises like blowing into lifafa.

Cleaning filters not working. Not sure what else to open n clean.

Otherwise cooling n heating is fine.

[saqibhassan95]

faulty blower motor maybe?

[nfssaad]

your cooling coil is choked along with your blower..

this phar phar sound comes when air is not able to flow.

AC needs to be cleaned with pressure washer.

[mgalaxy3]

Any videos on YouTube on how to do it properly?

N also not make a mess of the room as water will fall everywhere…

[nfssaad]

the pakref guys in karachi are doing this for 2500rs

i do it with a big plastic sheet stuck under the AC, rolled at the bottom in to a funnel, water going into bucket or tub.

plenty of pochay kay kapray will help too.

there are washbags available as well on daraz.

[dms664]

could you be kind to share the daraz link?

[nfssaad]

something like this..

https://www.daraz.pk/products/ac-service-cover-split-air-conditioner-cleaning-wash-service-cover-bag-for-15-to-2-ton-ac-i246060578-s1464187941.html?spm=a2a0e.searchlist.list.3.3d18677090Y0JS&search=1

i have this. this is too flimsy, keeps flopping about

but the one that pakref guys use is better, as it has a solid frame.

[dms664]

sir where i can get the better one? I want to do it myself (DIY)
i have pressure washer but not this bag stuff

[dms664]

my room is also carpeted and fully packed with stuff so dont want to destroy stuff with water and also I dont want to dismantle the ac just for cleaning

[mgalaxy3]

Same here

[nfssaad]

you will need to roll back the carpet...

even the smallest splash will create problems in carpeted places.

waisay honestly, carpets are a breeding ground for germs..
