I tried before few small air-con svc co but felt they anyhow charge..always insist me to overhaul the fan coil which cost $100 each. Thereafter, I tried Gain City and pleased with their svc. Engaged them since 2.5 yrs ago till now..charges reasonable $35 per fan coil for ad-hoc sv..if contract will be cheaper. Saw them clean quite thoroughly..and those Malaysian staffs v friendly

My aircon main switch plug just exploded! The plug just blew! Lucily got curtain to block, else dunno where the plug cover fly to. What do I do now?? Contact contractor or go straight to using warranty (still under warranty).

Damn sian one...have called the contractor before, because the wire no electricity going to one unit, now is this. Make me damn furious. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[smurf]

If never wire properly sure got cannot on the aircon mah. I have used it for nearly a year, and now suddenly the plug burst?? Anyone got experience?

Luckily it did not cause a fire, more so that it is nextbto the curtains.


Maybe inferior quality of wire or socket used.

I asked the aircon contractor before, they told us that the wire is of higher quality. And my usual contractor is quite reliable, I dun think he would get someone so unreliable right? Thatwould tarnish his reputation mah.

The plug consists of wire, metal and plastic, nothing potentially explosive…


The only thing that has the potential to blown is the fuse. If too big a current flows thru, the thin wire instantly vaporises, building up pressure and "exploded" (usually it just melt).

So, a possible cause would be improper or low quality fuse, and exceeding large current. The large current could be due to a short circuit in the aircon unit, better to get the manufacturer to check. And as for the plug blewing off, probably the plug is of low quality also, or screws not properly secured.

Normally, the fuse melts, or possibly "blew" but the force should not be large enough to tear the fuse assembly apart, let alone tear the plug apart.

To confirm, just check that all the components like 3 metal pins, plastic cover, wires should be around almost intact, but the fuse is likely to be in "bits and pieces"…
