Problems LG don't want you to know about
Following on from my post yesterday regarding the failure of 2 compressors, I have dug a little deeper. I have one compressor down to earth and one blowing off on the internal PRV, now did you know that LG have known about this problem for a long time? The problems are caused by faulty fan speed controllers, the more people that I mention it to are saying oh yes, we have had FSC's failing, some have been caught before the compressors have been blowing on the PRV for prolonged periods, others have resulted in the PRV's blowing continually and cooking the compressors.
This has been confirmed by a colleague of mine at another company who has installed literally hundreds of LG's and once they reach 18 months old..........you got problems, mine have just reached 18 months. This has also been confirmed by an LG ditributor, I hasten to add not Shorts Environmental who supplied the equipment, I have found them difficult from a past experience with a problem that was never sorted out. Why do they treat us like mushrooms and keep us in the dark, why do they not have regular service bulletins to inform contractors of current problems so we can do something about it before it results in major failure, why are they so unhelpful and always work against you and not with you. Ever felt cheated?
As a cheaper alternative to LG check out the Mitsi M series, cheap as chips.

Re: Problems LG don't want you to know about
Me thinks bad idea posting that e-mail address for LG problems.
Oh Well, i am going to have fun getting details of units that have had compressors and gas leaks and e-mailing them off.
Anyone else had problems with suction 90 degree elbows. I have now done 3 Newist units where the elbow has cracked on the bend

do your complaining with your wallet, don't buy the rubbish.
as, is being pointed out, the people listening to the complaints are not interested, they go home at 5 o'clock and have no worries.
think about how much one call back cost you, both in pure cash AND reputation.

it cost more than the extra price of fitting, Hitachi or Daikin in the first place.

SAMSUNG
SAMEDUNG i call it!
I think i tried 3 systems, all duds, electrical conections you can't get a screwdriver to, wallmount cases that rattle from new, even SWM don't sell em anymore and they will sell you some rubbish. Airwell, Winea, Haier, Chigo and what were those old thing called? Amena was it?
Stick with quality and initially make less profit.

Re: Problems LG don't want you to know about
Thanks for that, a local supplier of mine is having a big Samsung launch in March and has invited me along, looks like sticking to Fujitsu and Mitsi. Regarding Chigo, I installed a 3.5 kw wall mount heat pump in a tattoo studio, it worked great, the outdoor unit is a little flimsy but the wall mount looked good with the oval electronic display.

I've been invited to the same launch for Samsung as Andy but I am very cautious of using another cheap brand, much as I would like to support local suppliers. Tosh and Sanyo still press all of my buttonsKarl
