Used Super Asia fans & air coolers in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Is a used Super Asia fans & air cooler worth buying?
Super Asia is a Gujranwala house best known for washing machines and spin dryers, and its coolers sit on that same parts economy. Motors, capacitors, pumps and switches are things its dealers already handle. What nobody keeps on a shelf is the plastic: the tank, the pad frames and the front louvre panel are bulky, so damage there is what you are really buying or avoiding.
Made or assembled in Pakistan
Spares are widely stocked locally and most technicians in the twin cities have worked on these, so common faults are usually economic to repair.
Because Super Asia's dealer network is built around washing machines and spin dryers, motors, capacitors, pumps and switches for its coolers are ordinary counter items in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The bulky mouldings, meaning the tank, pad frames and louvre panel, are the parts those counters do not keep.

Checking a used Super Asia fans & air cooler
These are specific to Super Asia. The general fans & air coolers checks apply too and are on the fans & air coolers page.
Look behind the rear grille
The motor should be a bolted-in appliance motor with its capacitor mounted where you can see it. That is the piece any Super Asia appliance dealer can match, so a burnt motor need not decide the purchase.
Press the tank corners
With water standing in the tank, press each lower corner and the drain boss and watch for weeping at the seams. The tank is the one part those same dealers do not carry, because it is too bulky to stock.
Check the water spreader
Above each pad sits a perforated pipe or tray that drips onto it. Hard water scales the holes shut and the giveaway is a pad wet at the bottom and dry at the top; a cracked spreader, unlike a blocked one, is a moulding nobody keeps.
Smell the empty tank
A cooler stored with water in it grows a smell in the tank and pad frames that survives a wash. It is not a fault in itself, but it tells you the machine sat unused while wet, which is also how pumps seize.
What Super Asia fans & air coolers are worth
- Super Asia's appliance dealers across both cities carry motors, capacitors and pumps as routine stock, so an electrical fault seldom drops one of its coolers into the For Parts grade.
- The mouldings work the other way: tanks, pad frames and louvre panels are too bulky for those same counters to stock, so cracked plastic is what actually sets the grade.
- Scale and standing water leave their marks inside the tank and spreader rather than on the outside, so a cooler with that history is harder to place until it has been opened up and shown.

Spin the blades by hand
With the power off, turn the blades. A healthy fan coasts several turns and stops smoothly. A gritty feel, a rumble or a rotor that drags means dry or worn bushes, and a fan run in that state will cook its winding within a season.
Feel the motor housing
Run it on full for fifteen to twenty minutes, then put a hand on the housing. Warm is normal. Too hot to hold, or a smell like burnt varnish, means the winding is going. That smell never clears, and rewinding a domestic fan seldom repays what it costs.
Watch for wobble
Start a ceiling fan and watch the canopy. Wobble usually comes from a bent blade arm, mismatched blades or a loose down-rod rather than from the motor. Sight along each blade for a bend and check the mounting holes in the arms for elongation, which is what makes a fan impossible to balance afterwards.
Test the start
A fan that hums but only turns once you nudge a blade has a weak capacitor. It is an inexpensive part, but it should be found before money changes hands. Step through every regulator position too: a dead speed points at the regulator or a broken winding tap rather than at the capacitor.
Watch the cooler pads wet
Fill an air cooler's tank, switch the pump on and look at the top of the pads. Water should spread across the whole width within a minute. Dry stripes mean a blocked distributor pipe or a weak pump. Honeycomb pads that have collapsed or gone crusty with salt need replacing before the machine will cool at all.
Press the cooler tank
Push the sides of the water tank and inspect the drain plug and base corners. Plastic that has stood in the sun goes chalky and brittle, and hairline cracks there open up as soon as the tank is full. While you are there, spin the blower wheel by hand for bearing noise and work the swing louvre through its travel.
