Review of DAEWOO air conditioners: error codes, comparison of window, mobile and split models

The largest manufacturer of electronics and home appliances, founded in 1967 in South Korea. After the crisis and the collapse of the parent concern, the subsidiaries remained to exist and operate separately. Daewoo Electronics is a functioning electronics division for the entire world. The main advantage of Daewoo air conditioners and split systems is the price-quality ratio. For little money, you can purchase a modern competitive product.

Mobile air conditioners

Daewoo mobile air conditioner is a monolithic structure, where the entire cooling module is located inside the body. In order to install a mobile air conditioner, drilling, drilling and fastening the unit is not required, it is enough to place it in an area close to the window and remove the air duct so that hot air from the air conditioner does not remain in the room. Such a compact air conditioner, depending on the model, is designed to cool a room with an area of ​​25 m2 and more. Condensate in such devices is either evaporated from a special drain pan, or manually drained into the drain after filling. Often in everyday speech, these air conditioners are called "floor-standing".

Daewoo DOB-125RH and DOB-F095RH are good models. Both monoblocks in the set have a remote control panel for the air conditioner, operate in two modes "Cooling" and "Heating", have 3 fan speeds, a digital display panel. A distinctive feature is their power consumption and output power. The first has a power in cooling mode of 3500 W, with a consumed 1800 W, and the second in a cooling mode has a power of 2600 W with a consumed 950 W. Also the difference in the volume of air flow, which for the last candidate is 3 liters / less. The noise level of floor-standing air conditioners is high, about 50 dB, due to the fact that the compressor and other noise-producing elements are located in the same housing.

Such compact models are useful where installation of a split system is impossible or unprofitable, because this air conditioner can be easily transported.

Window air conditioners

Window air conditioners can be conditionally referred to the “monoblock” subcategory. They are arranged on the monoblock principle, where all the components are integrated in one housing. Such a device works cyclically on-off when the built-in temperature sensor sends a signal to the compressor. It was once a popular built-in climate system. Such a block is mounted in a window, or a thin wall. Among the latest air conditioners from Deo, we can mention the DWB-126CH. Its features are:

• High power heating and cooling (3200 W), which ensures a stable temperature at any time of the year;
• This model can perfectly serve an area of ​​26-35 m2;
• The control interface is made of analog buttons and a digital display;
• The unit has an antibacterial filter, a dehumidifier;
• Refrigerant type R22;
• 2 modes of air flow direction;
• High noise level 57dB;
• There is no remote control.

Such monoblocks are recommended for installation where the temperature remains above zero all year round, due to the fact that after installation the thermal insulation of the room may deteriorate.

Split systems

Unlike a monoblock structure, in such systems there is a division of "labor", where each module performs its own part of the work.Such a solution perfectly cope with the ventilation of both rooms and small apartments, as well as offices, cafes, multi-room apartments and houses. Household, commercial and industrial air conditioners are now predominantly on sale. They all differ in their purpose, dimensions, working area, power, number of blocks, etc. Additionally, modern split systems are divided into inverter and non-inverter. Inverter compressors offer reduced noise, lower energy consumption, longer service life, and more accurate automatic room climate control.

Daewoo company is engaged in the production of wall-mounted split systems for domestic use. Such a system consists of a compressor-aggregate unit, installed outdoors, and an internal (evaporative) unit that dispenses and filters air. Many models have a built-in temperature indicator on the front side of the indoor unit. There are models with built-in deodorizing, electrostatic and antibacterial filters. It can be controlled remotely by the supplied remote control or by means of an emergency switch on the case.

Installation of an air conditioner from two units will require the intervention of specialists, since if something went wrong during the installation, then, as the company itself claims, it does not bear any responsibility and guarantee for this.

Error codes for DAEWOO air conditioners

The instructions for most models do not provide a description of the air conditioner error codes that the device signals when it malfunctions. If the device has a self-diagnosis system, the code will light up on the indication display.

Known designations:

• F6 - malfunctions of the engine;
• F7 - malfunctions of the internal temperature sensor;
• F8 - malfunctions of the temperature cylinder of the heat exchanger;
• F9 - malfunctions of the temperature cylinder in the outdoor unit.

In case of such errors, you should contact the service center.
