This intervention demonstrates our technical team's expertise in quickly resolving malfunctions and ensuring the longevity of your equipment.
The issue: A malfunction with the Daikin heat pump
Upon arriving on-site, our technician observed a classic but crucial problem: the Daikin wall-mounted heat pump was not blowing warm air, despite the active heating request. The customer had reported that the outdoor unit seemed to be malfunctioning, with an unusual lack of noise from the compressor and erratic operation of the unit.
The first step in diagnosing the issue was to check the basics: the electrical connection, filters, and refrigerant levels. After a few minutes of analysis, it became clear that the problem was linked to a faulty refrigerant connection, causing a compressor failure in the outdoor unit.
The repair process: Identifying and replacing defective components
Once the issue was isolated, our technician proceeded with a series of checks before beginning the necessary repairs. Here’s an overview of the repair process:
1. Electrical power check
We first inspected the electrical wiring to ensure there were no short circuits or connection failures, a common factor in heat pump malfunctions.
2. Dismantling the outdoor unit
After verifying electrical safety, the outdoor unit was dismantled to access the internal components. It was at this point that our team identified the defective connection in the refrigerant circuit, causing a pressure loss and preventing the compressor from starting.
3. Repairing the refrigerant circuit
We performed a full repair of the refrigerant circuit, replacing the seals and properly reconnecting the pipes. After the repair, we tested the system again to ensure stable pressure and that the compressor was functioning correctly.
4. Performance check and final testing
Once the heat pump was properly reassembled, we performed a full system test to check the heating performance. After some adjustments, the unit began blowing warm air consistently, as it should.
5. System reset and return to normal
Finally, we reset the unit to ensure its proper functioning in the long term. Before leaving, we took the time to explain the repair process to the customer and discuss preventive maintenance to avoid any future breakdowns.
Results: A heat pump like new
Thanks to our expertise and quick intervention, the Daikin wall-mounted heat pump is now fully operational. The customer now has a reliable heating system for the coming months. This case not only demonstrates our ability to resolve complex malfunctions but also the importance of regular maintenance to extend the lifespan of your equipment.
