Panasonic Room Air Conditioner CWXC104HU Questions & Answers
My Panasonic Air Con (CS-C12GKH)
The water is leaking due to a blocked drain (because of accumulation of mud). If you are able to clean it on your own, you don't have to call the technician. When you remove the houseing of the indoor unit, you can see the water collection tray at the bottom of the unit - thats what you have to clean.

The ball bearings in the fan motor is toast.
Options:
1. Contact your dealer or Panasonic directly. This is a known problem and Panasonic will send you a new fan motor for free or at a reduced price, depending on the age of your unit. You will probably have to change it yourself, or call a tech to do it for you (about 1 hour of work).
2. Change the ball bearing(s) in the fan motor yourself. 1-2 hours of work if you are somewhat handy. Buy a CERAMIC bearing (Size 608, ZZ, Ceramic - the same size you use for a skateboard) @about 10 USD (7 EUR) in your local hardware store. You probably only have to change one bearing, the one on the "inside".

Hi,
Here is a tip about troubleshooting your air conditioner...
There are many things that can cause your air conditioner not to cool…
Air Conditioner Trouble - Review the Possibilities
heatman101
We have a 1.5 Panasonic
The 'usual' operation - is for the compressor 'and' the fan to go "off" once the desired temperature is reached - and back "on" when the cooling area warms back up. This operation is controlled by a thermostat inside the AC.
if however - your AC is 'supposed' to operate as you state - and the fan goes off - stays off for a period of time - and then comes back on - it's very possible that it 'fan' is getting 'hot' and going off on the 'internal moter overload.'
A good way to check this is to feel of the fan motor after it's gone off. If it's hot - and I mean 'hot - not warm' when you touch it - then chances are good that the internal overload is causing it to go off - which is usually a precursor of the fan motor completely stopping and needing replacement.
If it's not possible for to feel the motor - another check would be to try and make the fan motor 'run' after it's gone off. Try turning it on by itself (fan only) with the switch. It should come on - and if it doesn't - then chances are good that it's off on the overload I spoke of.
One other possibility is that the fan motor 'capacitor' is defective. The 'capacitor' is a little gray/silver thing about half as big as a pack of cigerettes - and has electric wires connected to it, usually two (2). Some of the time when a capacitor goes bad it will 'bulge' around the top - which makes it obvious that it (capacitor) is bad. Often - though - it will not give a physical indication that it is bad. If you suspect the motor is getting hot and going off on the overload you can turn off all power and remove the capacitor and take it to an Air Conditioning Supply House and get an exact replacement (be sure and mark your wires before removing the old one - so you can wire the new one back up).
While it's possible that your AC is made to work as you described - the 'usual' mode of operation (as I said above) is for both - the compressor and the fan motor to go 'on and off' - at the same time - so I was wondering if it (AC) was merely cycling on and off like it was supposed to on the thermostat.
Do you have a 'cooling' problem - in other words is it cooling as it should. If it is - then it's possible what you're noticing is just normal operation.
hope this has helped
Panasonic cs-c12cxp6 it is forming ice inside and
You have a cloggeds evaporator coil. You can take it out and clean throughly with a water hose. Or you can get a spray can of evaporator coil cleaqner from one of the bigger homeimprovment stores. Furthermore, make sure that the filter is clean, and clean it often. You'll have to turn it off to allow for full thawing, but if you leave the fan on high it will speed the thawing of unit.
I have a Panasonic split
Heya,
If you open the flap where the filters are on the right there is a emergency button. If you push it once it will put it on cooling at 20degs and push it twice 22degs heating.
Now fault finding,
Get yourself a camera with a LCD screen. Point the LCD screen at the pointer of the remote (it will look like a glass buble). Push a button on the romte and you should be able to see a infa red light on the lcd screen. If you cant the remote is faulty. But if you can you need a new receiver board on your panasonic, contact your panasonic warrrenty department to get someone out to look at it.
Hope this helps, anything else please let me know

the 'squeaking noise' you hear is pretty much 1 of 4 problems with the unit.
1) Most likely it's a fan motor where the bearings are going out (metal to metal is causing the squeaking). The 'fix' for this problem is to change the motor which will run around $150 if you call a repairman, maybe more depending on the motor. I've been told there are still mfc's who put motors in their units 'that can be oiled' and I'm not going to say that's not true - but I haven't seen a motor that can be oiled - in years. They (mfc's) just don't do it anymore - after all - 'we're in a throwaway society you know.
Speaking of which - it might be 'cost effective' for you to think about buying a new unit, i.e. the cost of a new unit over the cost of repairing what you have. If you spend the extra cash for a new unit - then everything is "new" especially the compressor which is the heart of any AC unit.
2) Sometimes 'compressors' will also squeak - again it's bearings that are causing the noise and if it's a compressor - then you are in big trouble and should 'seriously' start thinking about a new AC.
3) a third possibility but not very likely - and that is it could be something as simple as a fan blade/squirrel cage (the fan mtr turns a blade and usually a squirrel cage) hitting some other part of the AC in such a way where you think it's squeaking you are hearing. I doubt if this is the case but if you pull the unit and take the cover off and 'turn the unit on' you might be able to determine this (for sure) and make an adjustment/fix on the spot.
4) lastly ... here is something I've done in the past. If you have the unit out of the window and the cover off - take a look at the fan motor and see if it's possible to take a drill and drill a very small hole on each side of the motor where the bearings are encased. (Note: drill the hole 'on top' of the encasement) - Then you take a oil can/plastic bottle and try to get some oil down on the bearings. This is a long shot (having a place to drill a hole) but if you can get some oil down on the bearings (remember you have bearings on both ends of the motor) it will extend the life of the motor possibly for years.
Like I said - I've done this (successfully) in the past. The big problem is that some motors don't have the 'built up encasement of the bearings' and so it's not possible to drill anywhere.
good luck!
