AC Spare Parts Kenya — All Brands
Wholesale from Dubai
Fan motors, capacitors, PCB boards, drain pumps, expansion valves and the full range of HVAC spare parts for every brand serviced in Kenya — supplied wholesale from Dubai, exported weekly to Mombasa.
The spare parts range available through local Nairobi suppliers covers perhaps a third of what a Kenyan HVAC workshop actually needs. The rest — the correct fan motor for a specific LG model, the PCB board for a Samsung inverter unit, the drain pump for a Hitachi cassette, the expansion valve for a Daikin system — either cannot be found locally or arrives at a price that makes the repair uneconomical. Kenyan workshops that solve this problem by sourcing directly from Dubai access the full range, at wholesale pricing, with delivery to Mombasa in 10–16 days.
Al Faisal stocks spare parts for the brands that dominate Kenya’s installed AC base — LG, Samsung, Midea, Haier, Gree, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Carrier, Daikin and O General. The parts categories cover every component that fails in normal AC service: fan motors, run and start capacitors, PCB control boards, drain pumps, contactors, expansion valves and thermistors. This page covers the cross-brand spare parts picture — for brand-specific detail, each major brand has its own Kenya page linked below.
💡 Send us the part number or the AC unit model number. The fastest way to confirm availability and pricing for any spare part is to WhatsApp us the part number from the original component, or the AC unit brand and model number. We cross-reference the correct part, confirm stock, and return pricing and a freight estimate within 24 hours. Spare parts ship as general cargo — no DG classification — and consolidate freely with compressors and refrigerant gas in the same Kenya shipment.
Why Kenyan Workshops Source Spare Parts from Dubai
The economics of spare parts sourcing from Dubai are straightforward once a Kenyan workshop has run the numbers. Local Nairobi parts dealers carry a limited range at retail margins — the correct part may not be in stock, the wait for a special order may be weeks, and the price reflects a supply chain with multiple intermediary markups between the Dubai manufacturer and the Nairobi counter.
Dubai’s HVAC wholesale market in Deira is the primary distribution point for the spare parts from Chinese, Korean and Japanese AC manufacturers flowing into East Africa. Al Faisal sources at the wholesale level — direct from regional distributors — and passes that pricing to Kenyan buyers. A Kenyan workshop with a monthly consolidated Dubai order covering compressors, gas, copper and spare parts lands everything at Mombasa at a total cost that is consistently lower than sourcing each item locally in Nairobi, while accessing a far wider range of parts.
Spare Parts Categories — What Al Faisal Supplies to Kenya
Fan Motors — Indoor & Outdoor
Fan motor failures are among the most common AC service jobs in Kenya — the indoor unit blower motor and the outdoor unit condenser fan motor both operate under continuous load in dusty, humid conditions and eventually fail. Al Faisal stocks fan motors for the indoor and outdoor units of LG, Samsung, Midea, Haier, Gree, Hitachi and Carrier systems — the brands with the highest installed base in Kenya. Sigma universal fan motors cover a wide range of applications where an exact OEM match is not available. The critical specification for any fan motor replacement is voltage, wattage, RPM, shaft direction and capacitor rating — all of which must match the original unit.
Capacitors — Run & Start
Capacitor failure is the most frequently misdiagnosed fault in Kenyan AC service — a failed run capacitor causes the compressor or fan motor to draw excessive current, overheat and eventually fail, but the initial symptom is simply reduced cooling or a unit that struggles to start. Testing the capacitor first — before condemning the compressor or motor — is the correct diagnostic sequence. Al Faisal stocks run and start capacitors in the microfarad values and voltage ratings used across LG, Samsung, Midea, Haier, Gree and Hitachi systems. Skycap is the primary capacitor brand in our stock — reliable, correctly rated, and available across the full range of values used in the Kenyan market.
PCB Control Boards
PCB failures in Kenyan AC systems are frequently caused by voltage fluctuations — Kenya’s power supply, particularly in upcountry areas and during load shedding events, subjects AC control electronics to voltage spikes and drops that degrade and eventually destroy PCB components. Both indoor and outdoor unit PCBs fail — the indoor unit PCB controls the user interface, motor speed and thermistor inputs; the outdoor PCB manages compressor drive, protection relays and communication with the indoor unit. Correct PCB replacement requires an exact match on brand, model and board revision number. WhatsApp us the board number printed on the PCB itself and we confirm availability.
Drain Pumps
Drain pumps are fitted in cassette AC units and in any split AC indoor unit where gravity drainage is not possible — common in Nairobi commercial buildings and apartments where the indoor unit position does not allow a fall to a drain point. A failed drain pump causes water overflow from the indoor unit — damaging ceilings, walls and the customer’s contents below. It is a fault that generates urgent service calls and significant customer dissatisfaction. Al Faisal stocks drain pumps compatible with the cassette and ceiling units most commonly installed in Kenyan commercial buildings.
Contactors & Relays
Contactors in AC outdoor units — the electrical switching components that connect and disconnect the compressor and fan motor circuits — fail from arcing, contact pitting and coil burnout. In Kenya’s environment, contactor failure is accelerated by voltage instability and the high ambient temperatures in outdoor units, particularly in Mombasa coastal installations. A pitted or sticking contactor causes compressor hard-starting, excessive inrush current and eventual compressor failure — replacing a failed contactor before it damages the compressor is always the correct repair sequence. Al Faisal stocks contactors in the coil voltage ratings and contact current ratings used across the main AC brands in Kenya.
Thermistors & Sensors
Thermistors — temperature sensing resistors — are fitted at multiple points in both indoor and outdoor units: room air temperature, evaporator coil temperature, outdoor coil temperature and discharge pipe temperature. A failed thermistor causes error codes, incorrect operation or system shutdown — faults that are frequently misdiagnosed as PCB failures or refrigerant issues when the actual cause is a faulty sensor costing a fraction of a PCB replacement. Thermistors are model-specific — resistance value and connector type must match the original. WhatsApp us the AC brand, model and the error code displayed and we advise on the correct thermistor to order.
Diagnosing Before Ordering — The Correct Service Sequence
The most expensive spare parts mistake a Kenyan workshop makes is ordering the wrong component — replacing a PCB when the fault is actually a failed capacitor, or ordering a compressor when the real cause of non-starting is a faulty contactor. A systematic diagnostic sequence before ordering any part saves money, reduces the frequency of unnecessary Dubai imports, and produces more reliable repairs.
Step 1 — Read the error code
Modern split AC units display error codes on the indoor unit when a fault is detected. Error codes are model-specific — the same code number means different things on different brands. Always look up the error code in the specific brand and model’s service manual before touching any component. A thermistor fault, for example, displays as an error code that clearly identifies the sensor — no diagnostic guesswork required.
Step 2 — Check supply voltage
Many AC faults in Kenya are not equipment failures — they are symptoms of supply voltage outside the unit’s operating range. Measure the supply voltage at the disconnect with the unit running. Voltage below 200V or above 250V on a 220V nominal supply causes protection trips, compressor hard-starting and PCB damage. Confirm the supply is within specification before condemning any component.
Step 3 — Test capacitors first
Before condemning a compressor or fan motor that struggles to start or draws high current, test the run capacitor with a capacitor tester or multimeter in capacitance mode. A capacitor measuring significantly below its rated microfarad value — typically more than 10% low — is defective. Replace it before running any further diagnosis. A good capacitor eliminates one of the most common faults in a single inexpensive step.
Step 4 — Measure running current
A digital clamp meter on the compressor supply wires gives running current — compare this against the nameplate rated current (RLA). Current significantly above RLA with a good capacitor and correct supply voltage indicates a compressor mechanical problem or refrigerant issue. Current at or below RLA confirms the compressor is healthy and the problem is elsewhere in the system.
⚠️ Voltage instability is destroying PCBs across Kenya — protect before replacing
Kenya’s power supply — particularly in residential areas served by aging distribution infrastructure, and in upcountry areas with frequent load shedding — subjects AC control electronics to voltage spikes on reconnection that the PCB’s onboard protection cannot always handle. A workshop that replaces a burned PCB without addressing the voltage instability at the installation will find the replacement board fails within months for the same reason. The correct recommendation to any customer with a PCB failure is to fit a voltage stabiliser or surge protector upstream of the AC unit. It is a modest additional cost that prevents repeat PCB failures and protects the compressor from the same voltage events. Kenyan workshops that make this recommendation as standard practice reduce their PCB callback rate significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the correct spare part number for the AC unit I am repairing?
The most reliable source is the AC unit’s service manual or parts catalogue — most major brands publish these online and they list every component with its part number. The second approach is the component’s own label — fan motors, capacitors and PCBs typically have the component specification printed directly on the part. For PCBs, the board revision number is printed on the PCB itself and is essential for correct matching. If you have neither the service manual nor a readable component label, WhatsApp us the AC unit brand and full model number — which is on the indoor unit nameplate — and we cross-reference the correct part from our records. For older or less common models, tell us what the unit is doing (or not doing) and the error code if displayed, and we advise on the most likely failed component before you commit to a parts order.
Can spare parts ship by air freight to Nairobi for urgent repairs?
Yes — spare parts are general cargo with no dangerous goods classification and ship freely by air freight from Dubai International to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi in 48–72 hours. This is practical for urgent single parts — a specific PCB board, a drain pump, a fan motor needed to complete a commercial repair that cannot wait for the next sea freight cycle. Air freight cost is higher per kilogram than sea freight, so the economics suit small, high-value items or time-sensitive situations. For regular stock replenishment, sea freight LCL from Jebel Ali to Mombasa remains the more economical route — consolidate spare parts alongside compressors and gas in the monthly shipment.
Why do capacitors fail so frequently in Kenyan AC systems?
Capacitors are electrochemical components that degrade with heat and age. In Kenya’s climate — particularly in Mombasa coastal installations and in outdoor units across the country that face high ambient temperatures — capacitors operate at the upper end of their thermal rating continuously. High ambient temperature accelerates the electrolytic degradation inside the capacitor, shortening its service life from the manufacturer’s rated 10–15 years to 3–5 years in practice. Voltage instability — spikes and surges on Kenya’s power supply — compounds this by stressing the capacitor dielectric layer. Kenyan workshops that carry a stock of common capacitor values — covering the microfarad ratings used in the brands they service most frequently — can resolve capacitor faults on the same visit without a parts wait. It is the most cost-effective spare parts stock any Kenyan HVAC workshop can hold.
What is the minimum order quantity for spare parts from Dubai?
There is no fixed minimum quantity for spare parts — we supply individual parts or bulk quantities depending on what the Kenyan buyer needs. The practical consideration is freight economics: a very small parts order shipped alone from Dubai carries a disproportionate freight cost. The most efficient approach is to consolidate spare parts with your regular compressor and gas order — the parts add minimal weight and volume to an LCL shipment that is already moving. For genuinely urgent single parts, air freight is the practical option regardless of cost. For routine stock replenishment, add parts to your monthly consolidated Kenya shipment.
