I was going to suggest that yesterday, but because I don't remember much about pana cassettes, I thought I'd leave it for someone like stefscruiser to comment on, or the official tech suport guys that you could use. The last pana cassettes I saw were around the corner from you, next to the TAB office on hassler rd, and that was over two years ago.
As far as pana not cooling below 19C, it may be the case with casettes, I don't know. But I know most of their remotes go down to 16C, it would seem strange if they would only cool to 19C, when the other brands that can only go down to 18C, can manage 18C.
But anyway, I wouldn't be changing any more parts until you can talk to stef or whoever is their tech support on the phone.
edit: I forgot, I have an old ducted pana doing the same thing. Some old lady says the house gets warm, she turns it off and then on again at the controller and it fires up again. I've checked everything and it seems oK, and of course it all works perfect when I'm there, no fault codes, no dodgey readings. Of course I don't want to spend too much time there and charge this old lady heaps of money sitting around waiting for it to fault, and they aren't too good at keep records or remembering exactly was was happening at the time or noticing when it stops until an hour later. But it sounds like a similar fault, although this unit will run for days without stopping, not minutes like yours. But both need to be turned off then on again to fire it back up.
