[LG Air Conditioner Damage] [Heating] The outdoor unit is covered with frost

Troubleshooting

Warm refrigerant in the air conditioner circulates indoor, and cold refrigerant does outdoor during the heating mode.
Getting ready for preheat is required to warm the inside of the product when starting the heating mode, and defrosting sector is required
to remove or prevent freezing of the outdoor unit caused by chill refrigerant during the heating mode.

Defrosting

The function defrosts from the outdoor unit with warm air from the outdoor unit by operating the air conditioner in the cooling mode for the time being,
and the defrosting function automatically starts to defrost the outdoor unit without action by customers.
While defrosting, vapor may be generated from the outdoor unit, or water drips on the bottom.
In such a case, the louver is kept slightly opened to prevent chill air from the indoor unit.
