I have purchased in April 2009 samsung split 1.5 ton airconditioner and it has started giving display problem soon after 3 months. sections of display numbers are not visible and number 26 looks like 23 and so on. The company replaced it once with a new display and it again developed the same problem after 15 days. Now that the warranty period of one year is over, they say that I have to pay rs.750/- for a new display and rs.450/- as service charge, with no guarantee for the replaced display.
The technicians themselves admit that samsung split a/c has a display problem and they can do nothing about it.
Hence, I would advice my well wishers not to go in for samsung or similar korean devices, which are, it seems made of cheap materials, for reducing costs and compromising on quality.
I have another Onida split ac and the third voltas, both are fine and they do not have display problem.
