LG LSC183VMA Split System Air Conditioner - Page 7 Questions & Answers
I have an LG air conditioner that is blinking ''FL'' on the display and reads water full. . . How do I empty it so it will run again?
I just fixed my GE portable AC unit. I only had it for a month and it started displaying FL. The manual with it was pathetic. But, I cleaned the filters and took the drain plug out of the condensation tank which was completely dry. I put cleaned filters back in, plugged it and it ran a few seconds and flashed FL again. I let it set awhile like one website suggested in case it was froze up. That wasn't the problem. Let me make it clear right now that I am a technician. So I took the cover off and started troubleshooting and I found the problem right away. The float switch in the condensation tank had literally snapped off the poorly engineered mounting and was laying in the bottom of the tank. I fixed mine with some super glue. This was clearly a planned obsolescence that kicked in to soon and I wouldn't doubt that many other units have the same early failure. My advice to you, if you have a similar FL code that won't go away, is to tilt the unit back and forth and side to side and listen for that loose switch to move around in the condensate tank at the bottom of the unit. That may be the problem. If you just bought it, take it back to the store. But, don't take the cover off unless you know how to work around electricity. The repair is very simply for a technician with some tools and superglue. But, it's not safe for you to do.
Water leaks from the unit on humid days. It is an LG split unit.
If this is a central AC, the
condensation drips off the cooling coils into a pan. From the pan, it is suppose to either go into a drain directly or into a sump, which in turn pumps it into a drain. Dirt or mold frequently plug the drain out of the pan or the drain line itself. You need to clear the drain with a wire or forced air. If there is a trap in the drain line, it may be plugged. If there is a trap and the line is not draining from the trap into a sewer, then I suggest you remove the trap, which is intended to block sewer gas from coming up the drain line. If it doesn't drain into a sewer, there is no sewer gas to block and the trap is unnecessary. The credulous building code requires the trap, regardless of whether or not the unit drains into a sewer.
Hello, i have an LG portable air conditioner Model number L1111WXRY1
The fan on it works fine but the condenser seems to keep shutting off every minute and stays off for a while, mind you thr fan still runs so instead of blowing cold air it blows room temperature air. I checked the coils and theyre not frozen, the filter has been cleaned, and i have shut it off and left it off for half and hour. Does anyone know why this is happening? Also, rught before the compressor shuts off i hear a weird clicking noise just once.
It seems like it's short cycling. The condensor motor runs when the compressor runs,
Probable cause, no airflow thru the condenser, low on refrigerant, wrong location of temperature sensor,
