[LG Air Conditioner Water Leakage] The wind outlet of the air conditioner has dews formed on it

Troubleshooting

When using the cooling function, are there water bubbles near the area where air comes out from the air conditioner?

If you use the cooling function, due to the temperature difference between the indoor hot air and the cold wind from the air conditioner, water can be generated.
It is similar to water bubbles formed on a glass of water just taken out from the refrigerator.
Especially, if the indoor humidity level is high, then as moisture in the air tend to condensate more quickly, naturally there will be more water.

Causes and Symptoms

  • There is dust in the ultra fine filter.
  • Indoor temperature is high because it is monsoon season.
  • Indoor temperature is high because of hot weather.

Try this

Has it been more than a month since the last cleaning?

➔ Clean the ultra fine filter.

If there are dusts in the filter, it cannot suck in or discharge the air properly, thus degrading the cooling performance.
In addition, due to loud noises or excessive operation of the air conditioner, more electricity will be used.
If it’s been more than a month since you cleaned the ultra-fine filter, turn off the air conditioner and clean the filter.
Depending on the product, the location and removal method of the ultra fine filer may vary.
By referring to the user manual, separate the ultra fine filter and use a vacuum cleaner to suck in dusts or use a soft brush to wipe off dusts.

Are you using the cooling function in a place with high indoor humidity?

➔ Use a dry cloth to wipe off moisture off the surface of the air conditioner.
When the indoor temperature gets close to the target temperature, water bubbles will be gone as well.

If you leave the door open during monsoon season, indoor humidity will also rise.
Now, if you use the cooling function, as water bubbles in the air will condensate more quickly, water might be generated near the area of wind output from the air conditioner or steam might come out from it.
This is a natural phenomenon occurring when you use the air conditioner so use a dry cloth to wipe off moisture on the surface of stand or wall mounted type more frequently.
When the indoor temperature gets close to the low target temperature, water bubbles will be gone as well.

On a very hot day or when you cook food for a long time, the indoor temperature will rise.
Now, if you use the cooling function of the air conditioner, due to the temperature difference between the hot indoor air and the cold wind, water bubbles can be generated.
The higher the temperature difference the more water bubbles will be generated near the place where wind comes out of the air conditioner.
