Akai is a Japanese-based consumer electronics manufacturer with headquarters in Hong Kong. The company was founded as Akai Electric Company Ltd in 1946 but was purchased by Grande Holdings based in Hong Kong. While still running under the same name, the company produces and distributes various electronic products such as washing machines, LED TVs, dryers, air conditioners, smartphones, and other appliances. All of which are made possible through collaborations with various electronic companies.
Akai air conditioners are a household name in most of Hong Kong and surrounding areas, making them one of the top choices available. However, the company offers its appliances in other parts of the world through retailers that carry various products.
Regardless of how high a company is ranked, or how well the appliance is reviewed, you are at the risk of an error. An error is not here to tell you it’s time to switch out your appliance, it’s a direct signal from the device – one that tells the owner something is wrong with the system that needs to be fixed. So rather than ignoring the error codes, your appliance is showing its time to note down the Akai AC error code and get to the bottom of the problem. To help you out we have listed down the most common error codes of Akai AC.
