[LG Air Conditioner Water Leakage] The air conditioner has dews formed on it. White steam is coming out.

Troubleshooting

On a day with high humidity, if the air conditioner operates, water bubbles are formed as if dews are formed on a glass of cold water.
Especially, in a monsoon season with high humidity, as the cold air from the air conditioner meets with hot and wet air, thus there can be water bubbles at the outlet vent or white smoke coming from it.

Causes and Symptoms

  • Humidity is high and temperature difference is big.
  • Fan speed is set too low.
  • Lots of dusts are accumulated in the filter.
  • Vapor in the kitchen enters the air conditioner.

Cold air conditioner wind meets hot indoor air to produce white smoke

[Symptom of white steam coming from the air conditioner near kitchen]

It is similar to white steam coming from the inside when you open the freezer door during summer.

Try this

Is the window opened?

➔ Close the window to block wetness reaching the inside.

On a hot and rainy day, as hot and wet air from the outside enters the inside, the temperature difference between the cold air from the air conditioner and the cold air can cause dew forming.
Close the window to block entry of external air.

Is the target temperature set too low?

➔ Set the target temperature to the external temperature +/- 5℃.

By increasing the target temperature, and thus reducing the difference between the external temperature and the target temperature, you can reduce the effect of dew forming.

Is the fan speed is set too low?

➔ Set the fan speed to high for use.

If you set the fan speed of your air conditioner to high, you can reduce the temperature difference and also reduce dew forming.

Is the filter cleaned?

➔ If you clean the filter, the amount of air will be increased, and thus, the temperature difference will be reduced, and the amount of dew forming will be reduced.

Is it installed near the kitchen?

➔ As the cooking heat and wetness from the kitchen suddenly enters the air conditioner, it might seem as if smoke is coming out instantaneously.
