Managing Director,
Sub: Improper installation procedure of Split
Sir,
I purchased one Split AC machine on May 13, 2010 from M/S Fundamental Electronics, City Centre Kolkata and the machine was installed by M/s Geo Systech on 14.05.2010. It seems after wrapping the cupper pipes with electrical cable and after connecting the pipes at the indoor unit ,the mechanic discovered that he is running short of cable length at the outdoor unit end. He then joined another length of cable to reach the outdoor unit.
I have been told by knowledgeable persons that the electrical cable at the outdoor unit should never be extended by joining another short length of cable because this part is exposed to sun and rain. It is extremely hazardous to have cable joints covered with black tape and other synthetic material at the outdoor unit on the terrace. Moreover, this cable is running alongside the copper pipes carrying cooling gas/refrigerant under the same casing and any spark at the joints may cause major fire/explosion.
I would therefore request you to take such steps so that the cable leading to the outdoor unit do not have any joints. Only one single length cable without any break should connect the indoor and outdoor unit.
I am sending copy of this letter to Customer Care and Samsung management for their comments and views.
Regards,
Asish Sen,

Complaint marked as Resolved
Samsung — Non Cooling AC
I bought this air condition from of you’re authorize dealer ( Mayur Electronic plaza Faridabad) on 22/04/2009 with model no: AW18ZKC with a SL. No A324DZA5400315B.As the summer was approaching and I avail the free servicing from your company in the month of April 2010, thereafter the Air condition has stop cooling, which I though initially was due to the raise in mercury. But after some days I though of calling up to check out the cost of the problem from your customer care as AC was not cooling even in the low temperature, to which they offer me help to sent a technician to investigate the problem. For your reference the No. is [protected] on 5 may 2010.
The technician informs me that there was a gas linkages for which he said need to be sent to the workshop.
Now after reaching the workshop the technician called me up to inform that some part of the product was damage and the cost to replace is Rs.3000 and above.
1. My problem is why has the technician not check the problem at my place? By the way he didn’t even brother to open the AC and check.
2. Why do you lunch a product that cannot last even for a year?
