if only hiss once in a while its quite normal i guess, but not when it hiss non-stop (even after engine off).

Need to send for check as most likely not enough gas or cooling coil leaking..

Nothing come out as in no cold air but fan runs, or lights on panel is working but fan doesn't run, or panel and fan both not responding?

Such parts go TCM better. Might be pricier but it's hassle free. You might want to send in for a check then inform the SE to diagnose first then beforehand allow you to make a decision whether to get it fixed or not. You might be able to walk out free with a diagnose then seek somewhere else.

There's a campaign going on now at TCM. Price might be better.

Pray hard that it's some connection or minor electrical works. The fan unit is quite big time.

Having problems with my ac unit too. Kept blowing to my feet. Brrr... Especially once it reached the temp. So I have to adjust to 18 degrees to keep the fan blowing to my body, where it's needed!

Is there a right procedure to handle our aircon to prolong the use of compressor/fan coil and also what kind of aircon servicing can be done to prevent such replacement.  I went to TCM at TP did come across an aircon servicing package $143 but SE didnt comment much about it.  Anyone try this package?
