i need an access to the terms of conditions of Hitachi warranty , which states that under warranty if compressor is replaced , gas will be charged too.
i once had whirlpool ac and under its warranty conditions there was mentioned that no charges of any kind if compressor is changed under warranty.
but he is asking 1800rs gas charging , 330 rs service charge , and 250 transpotation , according to me only transpotation is a valid charge

service charge in warranty for changing compressor is totally wrong , i didnt pay any of this in samsung ac too

Did I miss writing, that it's only compressor which is in warranty, as its the 5th year of warranty which is lapsing on 5th may 2013. And because compressor is fried that's why gas is charged again I still think there should be no charge except transportation

I had to change the front grill oil container and it required gas refill...I had a gas leak just 4 months prior to this but still had to pay and the transport charges tooIt is fried again now, not cooling. We use it very rarely as it is in our spare bedroom. Used maybe there times in the past year and maybe 10 times in the last 3 years. Fed up with Hitachi.

Had same experiences with Hitachi, bought it because of the brand name......every year we need to fill gas...customer care is pathetic....
In other rooms I am using LG ACs, working fine for more then 5 years...no issues till now.
