NEW DELHI: Daikin lists a 10-year compressor warranty and a five-year PCB warranty for its FTKM50XV inverter split AC. Those component periods need to be read alongside the standard warranty terms: the whole product has an initial 12-month warranty, while the later component cover excludes several associated service costs.
| FTKM50XV check | Official information |
|---|---|
| Indoor unit | FTKM50XV16MKA |
| Outdoor unit | RKM50XV16MKA |
| Rated cooling | 5.00 kW, listed as 1.42 TR |
| Whole-product initial warranty | 12 months from invoice, with exclusions |
| Compressor | 10 years total |
| PCB | 5 years total |
Read the warranty by component
The standard inverter terms describe four additional years of PCB cover after the initial year and nine additional years for the compressor. PCB handling and fixing charges are excluded from the additional period. For compressor work, gas charging, related labour and transport are also excluded. Ask for an itemised estimate before agreeing to a repair, even when the failed component falls within its stated warranty period.
The important distinction for an owner is between the replacement component and the work needed to fit it. A compressor warranty headline does not establish that every line on a service bill is covered. Keep the diagnosis, the quoted part and each associated charge together so a dispute can be discussed against the actual warranty wording.
Identify the equipment before reporting a fault
The FTKM50XV product page identifies a specific indoor and outdoor pairing. Record both full model codes rather than relying on a shop description such as premium inverter AC. The same page lists a five-star rating under the 2026 BEE label, ISEER of 5.7 and rated annual consumption of 678.92 kWh. The annual figure is a published rating figure, not a prediction of a particular home's bill.
This model also has self-diagnosis and a filter-clean indicator. Daikin lists smartphone app control and voice control as absent in its specification table. For this particular machine, a useful fault report should therefore centre on the equipment labels, observed behaviour and displayed code, rather than assume there will be an app record available to send to service staff.
If the invoice uses an abbreviated model description, match it with the labels before raising the request. That small check makes the service record more useful when the indoor and outdoor equipment need to be identified separately during a repair.
Use a fault code as evidence
Daikin's general error-code page identifies U0 as refrigerant shortage, U2 as a voltage-related problem and U4 as a communication failure between the indoor and outdoor units. These are diagnostic descriptions, not a remote verdict that a specific repair is necessary. Share the code and let an authorised technician establish the cause before approving replacement parts or refrigerant work.
That distinction matters when deciding which warranty clause might apply. A visible error and the underlying failed component are separate pieces of information. Ask the technician to put the diagnosed component on the job sheet. An account of weak cooling alone leaves too much uncertainty about whether the issue concerns maintenance, power supply, installation or a manufacturing defect.
Keep maintenance separate from defect repair
Daikin's care guidance recommends cleaning air filters every two weeks and keeping both units' air inlets and outlets unobstructed. It also recommends periodic maintenance by a qualified technician. Before a weak-cooling visit, note whether the filter is dirty, whether anything blocks airflow and whether the remote is set to cooling. These observations help describe the complaint without opening the machine.
The care page says routine maintenance costs belong to the user. Separately, the initial warranty terms provide two requested preventive maintenance check-ups within the first 12 months. Establish which service is being booked rather than treating every cleaning visit as a defect claim. The official warranty also requires the original invoice and completed warranty card for verification.
Build a service record that answers the actual question
For the FTKM50XV, keep one folder containing the purchase invoice, indoor and outdoor identifiers, warranty card, installation record and service job sheets. Add a photograph of any displayed fault and a short account of when it appeared. This is a practical way to separate eligibility, diagnosis and the estimate, instead of trying to resolve all three through a single verbal assurance.
Installation budgeting is covered separately in our Daikin split AC installation price: Rs 1,770, extras separate. Readers comparing ownership terms can also consult the LG washing machine warranty: 2 years on product, 10 on DD motor and the Ambrane Charge 25 price: Rs 649 for the Black GaN adapter. Those policies concern different products and transactions; they should not be applied to this AC.
