  Claudia LeeJul 27, 2025
  If your LG Air Conditioner isn't starting, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the air conditioner is fully plugged into the outlet. Check your house's fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. If there was a power failure, turn the mode control to off, and wait 3 minutes after power is restored before restarting the unit. Finally, if the current interrupter device has tripped, press the RESET button on the power cord plug. If the reset button doesn't stay engaged, stop using the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Why is my LG LW8016ER not cooling properly?
- R

  If your LG Air Conditioner isn't cooling as it should, several factors could be the cause. Check that airflow isn't restricted by curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the unit. Make sure the temperature control is set lower than the current room temperature. Also, a dirty air filter can impact performance, so clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. If the room was hot when you turned on the AC, allow time for it to cool down. Finally, check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns, as well as iced-up cooling coils.

  If your LG Air Conditioner is making noise while cooling, it could be due to normal air movement sounds; if the noise is too loud, try setting the fan to a lower setting. Alternatively, window vibration due to poor installation might be the cause.

Why is water collecting in the base pan of my LG Air Conditioner?
- A
  arnoldbenjaminAug 22, 2025
  If water is collecting in the base pan of your LG Air Conditioner, it's likely due to moisture removed from the air draining into the pan. This is normal for a short period in areas with low humidity and normal for a longer period in very humid areas.
