Its hot and humid here & the AC had to get out-of-order now only...Grrrrrrrr...
Yesterday night it functioned properly & the cooling effect was superb. Suddenly from today afternoon, there's ZERO cooling effect, its operating just like a fan. I had called up Hitachi service help-desk and they said that there's a waiting period & the guy will only visit tomorrow. Luckily I had one of those guys number & hence called him directly. He agreed to come and see the machine, but will do so by by-passing Hitachi's company protocol. Basically, he would charge for his personal visit.
That's okay, as long as I get prompt service. I told him about the problem & he suspects a gas leakage in the pipe winding at the outer unit (condenser). Let's see, what it actually turns out to be.

Oh, one desperately needs their air conditioning to work. I remember once my apartment’s air conditioning was broken for 17 days. Maintenance kept telling me they couldn’t get on the roof because of bad weather. The fan I had was completely inefficient.

These machines go out of order only when we need them. LOL
I think it is the compressor issue. We are not supposed to use them continuously for more than 8 hours. So we adjust in the mornings and switch on the AC in the hall around 3 pm. By 11 pm we switch that off, and switch on the bedroom AC. I get ACs serviced every year to prevent the last moment surprises. It costs, but then I am on the top most floor of the building. I don't want to be cooked in my sweat. LOL
