Different types of aircon repair in Singapore and how much is the cost of repair

Is your aircon not working properly as it should be? Some tell-tale signs of trouble include loud noises when switched on or a weird smell while it is running.  Thankfully, an aircon can be easily repaired or its parts replaced. In this page we will share some valuable information about aircon repair and the their cost. Do note that repair for ceiling cassette aircon units will have a different set of pricing and information.

Aircon PCB replacement

 

Aircon Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) constitute the “brains” of the AC system. PCBs are found in both indoor and outdoor units of an air conditioning system. They transmit complicated instructions and carry them out. Nonetheless, they are electrical components and hence are subject to wear and tear. The entire PCB must be replaced if there are any non-working aircon components. Since PCBs are found in both indoor and outdoor units of an aircon, both aircon units may face PCB issues. The estimated aircon repair cost for PCB (residential unit) is between $350 to $900.

Aircon Fan Motor Repair

 

This is a seemingly simple problem to diagnose. If your aircon compressor is running, but your condenser unit fan is not spinning when you switch to aircon fan mode, it means that the fan motor has malfunctioned. However the complication comes in because the PCB can also cause aircon fan motor issues as well. But by using a second hand aircon fan motor, the price for replacement can be reduced to $150 for a system 1 fan motor unit and up to $400 if you decide to get a new aircon fan motor.

Aircon Thermistor Repairs

 

Aircon thermistor is a type of temperature sensor that you can find in aircon systems. They detect temperature fluctuations and send a resistance signal to the aircon control module. Thermistor-related problems are quite common among aircon repair issues in Singapore. If the thermistor is defective or corroded, it will not provide the proper signal for the control board to turn the compressor circuit on. This will cause the aircon to blow cold air for a while before the aircon power lights start blinking and blows warm air out. The aircon thermistor repair price in Singapore is usually between $70 to $200 .

Aircon Spare Part Replacement

 

Aircons, though durable and long-lasting, eventually spoil and this is most likely due to wear and tear of their individual components such as the compressor, thermistor, evaporator etc. As such, you will need regular servicing and maintenance of the units to keep them in tip top condition. However, Aircon repair cost may be too much for some With many of you choosing to resort to the cheaper option of going out and getting your own aircon spare parts when they start to become faulty.

Common Aircon Problems

For aircon repair, the first thing we check is whether your aircon light is blinking. If it is, that could be an indication there is a component defect.

If one of your air conditioning unit cannot turn on, it is very likely that your indoor sensor receiver or  indoor PCB is at fault. However, it could also be due to aircon wire defects as well.

Aircon water leakage is mostly a servicing issue, not repair. If your air conditioner leaks, the solution is normally an aircon servicing appointment or a chemical overhaul. However, if your drainage pan or aircon water pump is malfunctioning, then your unit definitely needs repair.

In case your aircon is not cold and its indicator lamp is blinking,  your unit will most likely need a replacement of some defective parts. However, if its light is not blinking, then we may have to check if the compressor is overheated or if the valve is malfunctioning. It could also be that your unit is in need of a chemical overhaul or an aircon gas top up.

If you suspect that the aircon is causing power trip in your house, we will have to check which component of the appliance is causing the power trip. It could be the compressor, fan motor or even the PCB and its wiring.

Whether or not a noisy aircon can be treated as a repair issue largely depends on the source of the noise (if it’s the indoor or the outdoor unit that is noisy). You will most likely require an aircon fan motor replacement. Or, it could be a failing or overworked compressor that’s producing the noise.

Steps to troubleshoot and repair your Aircon unit : 

1. Identify the issue with your Aircon. 

Is it leaking water? Are the lights blinking?
If the issue is with leaking water, you may require aircon servicing instead.

2. Figure out the model number of your unit.

If you have Aircon parts that require replacement, then you will need to find out the model number of the unit. The model number of the fan coil is usually located below the fan coil or on the left hand side of the condenser.

3. Are the aircon lights blinking?

If yes, there should be an error code. Sometimes, the number of blinks on the aircon light indicates a particular error code. Sometimes, too, the error code itself is displayed on the fan coil, which is the case with Midea aircon error codes.

4. Refer to the error code table to identify the error of the unit.

You will have to obtain the error code table from your manufacturer. If not you can also check with your technician or with us for meanings and troubleshooting routines behind the error codes of different aircon brands.

5. Troubleshoot and identify the parts that require replacement.

After you have found out the error code of the unit you will usually need to do some troubleshooting to find out which exact parts require replacement. It is usually not a straightforward answer. However, certain error codes are more straightforward. For example, a Daikin U0 error code, which signals refrigerant shortage in the system, tells you precisely the issue and its solution.

6. Find the spare parts you need and replace them.

If you are not comfortable with replacing the parts, it is best to engage an experienced technician as there are no spare parts that comes with a warranty.

Other Potential Aircon Repair Issues

🔖Aircon Pipe Leaking. In most cases, a leaking aircon gas pipe or water pipe is a servicing issue. Addressing the consequences of aircon insulation defects, however, can easily translate to a full-blown repair issue.

🔖Aircon Power Trip. Frequent aircon power trips either fall under improper aircon installation (including incorrect aircon capacity sizing) or a shorted-out motor as well as a power supply or wiring problem, both of which are repair issues.

🔖Aircon Thermostat Malfunction. A defective aircon thermostat, a component easily replaced if it malfunctions, is a repair issue. It can also be used in troubleshooting a frequent cycling problem, a potentially bigger and costlier repair issue.
