[LG Air Conditioner Hose] Cooling works fine but there is too much water from the drain hose

Troubleshooting

Causes and Symptoms

  • The neighboring temperature and humidity are high.
  • The indoor temperature is much higher than the target temperature.

The amount of drainage varies depending on the external environment [temperature/humidity] and it tends to increase on a day with high temperature and humidity.
Despite high humidity, in low temperature seasons such as spring, fall, or winter, the amount of drainage is decreased or drainage fails.

Try this

Check the neighboring temperature and humidity near the air conditioner.

➔ If the neighboring temperature and humidity are high, the amount of drainage is increased.

Drainage is reduced when ambient temperature and humidity are low. Drainage increases when ambient temperature and humidity are high.

[Condition for no water generation]
If the ambient temperature is lower than 25°C(77°F), or the indoor humidity is lower than 45%, the amount of drainage is small or zero.

[Condition for easy water generation]
If the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C(77°F), or the indoor humidity is higher than 50%, the amount of drainage tends to increase.
In summer with high temperature and humidity, the amount of drainage tends to increase suddenly.
If cooling works fine but the amount of drainage is small, then it is an environmental issue, so rest assured when you use it.

Conditions where drainage does not occur and conditions where there is a lot of drainage

The closer the indoor temperature is to the target temperature during cooling operation, the greater the amount of drain is.

➔ As cooling continues and thus the indoor temperature is reduced close to the target temperature, the motor for the outdoor unit starts running less heavily and the amount of drainage is also reduced.

The rotation speed of the cooling motor decreases as the room temperature approaches the desired temperature
