[LG Air Conditioner Gas] I am curious about checkpoints before requesting air conditioner gas injection

Troubleshooting

Cooling works well, but you want to inject gas?

➔ Air conditioner gas consumption is not in proportion to the number of hours of use, so unless there is leakage, no additional gas injection is required.

Try this

If you want to inject refrigerant due to poor cooling, then check the following first.

1. Check if the operation mode on the remote controller is set to cooling operation.

Select the dehumidification and auto(AI) modes. Then the target temperature and the fan speed will be automatically set and it might feel less cold.
Switch the operation mode to cooling for use.

18 degree adjustment with cooling

2. Check if the target temperature is set higher than the indoor temperature.

Set the target temperature to 18 degrees(64.4°F).
If the target temperature is set higher than or equal to the current indoor temperature, then the product concludes that the user is satisfied with the current indoor temperature and thus it stops cooling and only operates the fan mode.

3. Check if the outdoor unit room is not ventilated and see if there is an obstacle near the water supply outlet of the outdoor unit.

Open the front ventilation window of the outdoor unit in such way that its louver angle is level to the ground.
Remove dusts at the rear of the outdoor unit and remove any obstacle around the outdoor unit to ensure sufficient effective ventilation.
Due to overheating of the outdoor unit, cold air can come out and stop repeatedly.

Open the window where the outdoor unit is located or the ventilation window in the outdoor unit room.
Clear obstacles around the outdoor unit

4. Check if the filter is polluted by pollutants such as dust.

If there is dust or alien substance in the filter, then the fan speed can get reduced or cooling performance can get degraded.

5. Check if the window is opened or if there is a gap for cold air to exit to the outside.

6. If the direct sunlight can reach indoors, then use a curtain or blind to block it.

7. If there is a heat generating product indoors, then do not use the air conditioner in the same space.

8. There is no cold wind right away after starting operation. (3 minutes delay)

If you immediately start operating it after stopping it, then the safeguard for the compressor operates to delay auto operation by 3 minutes.
