Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a leading electronics company that has taken over the world. Offering a wide range of electronics the company is known to produce some of the best options available today. Based in South Korea this multinational electronics corporation does not need any introduction.
Offering a complete range of electronics and electrical appliances the company offers everything from calculators, televisions, and washing machines, to air conditioners and refrigerators. To help stay focused they have created subgroups to ensure no area goes unnoticed. Placing the air considers under their digital media business area. Allowing every sector of the business to bloom, rather than one taking priority over the other. A smart step that has ensured Samsung a top ranking in the world.

Samsung model as18an giving error E3 when I switch on my ac can anyone advice me what is a problem.
E209 error sumsung digital inverter
how do i repair error E151
Indoor unit EEV open failure.
i have a samsung inverter a/c model adv18ugan , when i suitch on from main, i have red light on ,after about a minute i have red lighton,green light on and yellow light blinking. any ideas what i have to check?
-Current sensor error. -Heatsink sensor error. -Input sensor error.
to admin..i also have error code e485 input current sensor error..im a retired hvac tech but have very little exp on mini splits..from what i have read says check power i did that its ok..then said replace pcb which i have on order..could anything else cause it as i dont have tools anymore and samsung tech wont talk to me.i had to order the board through a samsung service company here..could condenser fan motor cause that error?..i found a code for bad motor online e458 but i dont get that just e485
I have a error code E500 contact failure on IPM of inverter PBA1
how do I repair.
