Review of Samsung air conditioners: error codes, window, household and wall models

Almost everyone knows the name of the company "Samsung", it is not surprising, because it is a conscientious manufacturer and world leader in the production of not only split systems, but also many other household appliances and electronics. Samsung's development history began in 1938. The firm was founded by a man named Lee Byung Chol. Oddly enough, but initially it was an organization that had nothing to do with advanced technology and electronics. Samsung's small grocery sold goods made in the Korean town of Daegu. Samsung began to be engaged in the production of electronics only in the 1960s, and during this time was able to achieve heights in its business. At the moment, the grandson of the founder of this corporation is on the board of directors of the company.

Varieties of air conditioning systems

To save people from the heat of summer or the unpleasant sensations of turning off the heating in winter, air conditioners were invented. Many people, tired of the uncomfortable air temperature in their own home, purchase household samsung air conditioners, it is enough to simply not only install them, but also dismantle them if necessary. To choose the right model of the device, you should first familiarize yourself with all the characteristics of different types, because it is impossible to buy a universal device that is suitable for every customer. For ease of installation and use, manufacturers produce different types of split systems, each of which meets different user requirements:

Inverter

Samsung inverter air conditioners differ from other models by the presence of a power electronics unit that helps to obtain alternating current of the required frequency. It is she who determines the speed of rotation of the engine. Such an air conditioner is able to smoothly change energy consumption and performance. The inverter allows you to very accurately maintain the set temperature and save energy.

Floor standing

The mobile floor unit does not have a lot of power, but it can be easily moved within the apartment and within the reach of the power source. Its complete set includes only one independent unit.

Vents

If you need to purchase the most simple cooling device, then the choice falls on samsung air conditioners for window or window. Ease of use is ensured by the convenient location of all parts of the split system in one monoblock located under the window.

Wall mounted

The most popular solution is samsung wall-mounted air conditioners. Such devices are located on the wall under the ceiling and do not clutter up the space. Their external data help to be invisible in the interior and fit into any room, which is very important for a home split system.

Multizone

In buildings with several rooms, multi-zone air conditioners are used. Multi split systems are needed if you want to maintain a different microclimate in different rooms. Multi-split is cheaper than buying multiple air conditioners.

Cassette

Ceiling cassette industrial air conditioner. He is trusted to air conditioning a large volume of air. Due to the distribution of air in four directions at once, such a device effectively cools the air.

Duct

Channel semi-industrial air conditioners.Cold air is distributed through the ventilation ducts, all equipment is hidden in the space above the ceiling, only the air distribution grilles are visible.

Column

Column air conditioner. Such systems do not require complex installation and are powerful at the same time. With a large enough volume, they do not take up much space due to their vertical shape. It is advisable to install these split systems in rooms with a large air volume. VRF systems. There is no fundamental difference between them and VRV. Both systems have a variable refrigerant flow. The price of it, the size of the case, the complexity of installation and connection of the split system will depend on the type of cooling electrical device. You cannot save on Samsung split systems, because they are installed for a long time, and they give warmth in cold weather or cool in hot weather.

Manual for control panel and air conditioners SAMSUNG

Each device is equipped with a signal receiving board, whose firmware allows the mechanism to be controlled remotely. The manufacturers of split systems tried to make the remote control for the Samsung air conditioner as easy to use as possible, but it is still strongly recommended to study the technical data sheet before starting operation, without it, the use of the air conditioner can lead to breakdown and replacement of spare parts. Just a few simple buttons are enough to control the mechanism:

• Power button. It starts the starting capacitor, turns on the motor or turns off the system.
• Switching operating modes. When pressed, it changes the mode in a circle. When setting the mode, it is necessary to select the temperature at which this household appliance can work correctly in the selected mode.
• Button for setting the required temperature. Helps to control the microclimate in the house. In fan mode, the button remains inactive.
• Fan speed selection.
• You can set the timer and select the start time.

It is worth paying close attention to the temperature range of the mechanism specified by the manufacturer. For example, if the air conditioner is used in too cold conditions, icing and cold damage can occur to important parts of the air conditioner: the compressor, fan blades, heat exchanger. This will lead to a breakdown of the mechanism and subsequent repair with replacement parts for spare parts.

It is necessary to clarify the temperature at which this or that model of the samsung air conditioner works without any complaints in the instructions for this model.

The instructions for Samsung air conditioners are easy to understand. All the necessary information is indicated on the screen of the remote control. The most important thing in the instructions is the scheme according to which the Samsung air conditioner is installed. A few tips for using the air conditioner:

• When the room is overcooled due to turning on the device to the maximum, it consumes more energy and is harmful to health.
• Electricity will be consumed as efficiently as possible if the impeller of the device is directed horizontally when the device cools the air, and almost vertically when it heats the air.
• A clean filter will also help reduce energy consumption. It is necessary to periodically check and clean the filters, in order to clean the inside of the device, it is necessary to disassemble it and remove the filter. Before that, you must unplug the device from the outlet.Do not clean with solvents or abrasive substances, they spoil the appearance of the plastic cover.
• During the operation of the device, it will not be superfluous to check the windows again, they must be completely closed.
• For faster cooling, turn on the fan first.
• Servicing the appliance requires a professional to fill in refrigerant periodically. It is worth refueling at a service center that has a certificate and gives a guarantee. Only professionals can assemble and disassemble the device. Unfortunately, it is impossible to track how much freon the master pours, we can only hope for his experience and the particularity of the service.

SAMSUNG air conditioner error codes

Samsung air conditioner error codes help to make an independent initial diagnosis of malfunctions of a household appliance. Repairing the Samsung air conditioner will not cause any difficulties after decoding the codes, because this information will help the master to quickly identify the breakdown and repair the device.

Some air conditioner models are equipped with text mode. To enable this mode, you need to hold the power button for about five seconds. The unit will report the presence of an error in operation using the indicator lamps on the panel of the indoor unit, which will either blink or light up in the specified sequence. The second will happen if there is an already identified error. If several errors are detected at once, then the system will first report a more dangerous malfunction.

Translation of the most common mistakes:

• The temperature measurement of the indoor unit heat exchanger is not correct.
• Incorrect fan speed. The error occurs when the speed does not go beyond 450 rpm for 20 seconds.
• Incorrect measurement of the temperature indicator of the indoor unit.
• Icing of the outdoor unit.

Testing the device for faults occurs simultaneously with the automatic activation of the cooling mode. But the operation of the air conditioner at this moment undergoes some restrictions. Test mode requires entering cooling mode. It will work regardless of the set or internal temperature.

As soon as an error is found, its code is displayed on the screen and the user can diagnose it. The designation of errors corresponds to one of the codes, the decryption is attached to the instructions for the device.

If all the LEDs are blinking, without any order, then this may mean that all firmware has been deleted. In this case, flashing will help.
