- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- Disassembled, cleaned and reassembled our LG Portable A/C Unit, Model # LP1111WXR 11,000 BTU unit. We've had the unit about 7 years and never had it opened or cleaned.
Clearly, it needed cleaning.
*It’s: Pretty. Quiet. **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Works wellLittle of hassle to install was TOTALLY worth it. I’m loving it so far. I recommend watching the installation video and taking it slow~*
You gave me hope and then cold air. Great to keep one less unit out if the landfill. Thanks bunches!
Just to be clear. I'm not complaining about this AC Unit at ALL! This has been a fantastic unit and has provided us with years of cool air. It's running right this second and we love it!
Looking good🎉
I got the exact same surprise after first complete opening after 5 years !!! i got a Delonghi PAC N81. I clean all the thick "fur" and the rest of the lower part, reasamble the case and for some reason it leaks water all over the floor. i checked all again , cant find a mistake by myself and after 5 min of operating this unit, it dripping water under it like the niagara falls ! i ended up buying a new AC.
after all the vacuum and brushing use a no rinse coil cleaner especially for those hard to reach area
I have a portable ac where I can clean 75 percent of the fins easily. The last 25 percent were covered by a grate which does not come off. So I am using cotton swabs to clean up those. Not the ideal, but it is better than shelling out 300 bucks for a new one. Mine is six years old and still works well.
Hey sirduncan,,,,I am very thankful I found this site. I have the same LG model as is on this video. I am having a problem with excess water drainage. According to manual when using cool or fan mode there's no need of water drainage,,,oh I beg to differ. I have mine set to cool and the flood alarm goes off about every 1 to 2 hours what a pain. lol I have been scouring the internet for answers but other then this site (which is great ) I have not found any info on this particular problem. I also have had it for 5 or 6 years
and before you ask no I haven't cleaned it yet. Frankly, I did not realize that I could and that the filter in the back was removeable. If you can think of anything that might help I will be checking back in a couple of days. Thank you very much ( yeah Canadian,,,lol ) Please stay safe and healthy during this trying time.
Hey did you end up fixing your unit? I've got the same model and same draining problem. I cant for the life of me get the front off.
@@n3rdworldproblemz877 I am sorry to say that I could not get the front panel off either,, I even had a couple of friends take a look and no joy either. One of them suggested elevating the entire unit and putting a hose of some kind in the drain to allow continuous drainage and putting the hose in a bucket. It would at least cut down the amount of times you would have to empty container. The stand or whatever you use would have to be fairly strong as the unit weighs over 60 pounds. I was emptying it about every one and a half hours and since the unit is in the bedroom it was a major pain especially since the drainage spot is basically on the floor. One thing I have learned is that some ac units do in fact have a continuous drainage set up on them and for sure the next unit I buy will have it. Sorry I could not have an answer for you. Take care
There's a splasher motor to splash the water from the condenser on to the hot coils for more efficiency and less draining, check if the motor is stuck.
You can also spray the.coils with a cleaner then hose it out with a garden hose, tilt it slightly so all water can drain out before you put her back together. I would have thought you would have.know you had to keep the.coils clean on those
Use a trigger sprayer with clear water and a tiny drop of washing up liquid to squirt downwards from the top of the fins.
I hate the manufacturers of AC’s. They don’t mention to do a cleaning of the fins inside the unit. Over the years they get a thick carpet of dust as in your video and is not cooling like it should. Every 3-4 years all the screws should be removed from the back and do a proper cleaning of the filthy fins, dirt, leaves, etc...and the AC can last for many years baring any Freon leaks. I bought a used portable 9000 btu on Craigslist for $25 as the seller said it doesn’t cool anymore. I opened it up and to my amazement their was half inch carpet on the fins and was easily shop-vacd with the brush attachment. You can use a spray bottle with 3 tablespoons of dish soap mixed with 4 cups water and spray whatever the vacuum didn’t get, let it soak for 1 hour and wash off with garden hose. Just don’t spray near compressor or controls. Let it soak for 1 day and put everything back together. BTW, the AC works like it should and blows cold air like you just bought it. A $350 portable AC for $25
That aint dust.
Its a blanket.😮
hosing it down with water will clean out the fins best!
I'm not gay but I have a new man-crush. I found this video while looking for a reason why my LP1111WXR was short-cycling and not cooling to temperature. I'd already opened it up and it looked identical yo yours. I didn't even recognize the intake side of the vents and assumed it was sheet metal until I saw this video. I went with a long clothes dryer lint trap cleaner brush to get into the tight spots and a wire brush(gently) and air compressor and now it's working like a champ.
Thank you!.
you're gay accept it.
U CAN USE PAINT BRUSH
I have portable ac my problem is making noise how the problem.
I'm surprised radiators Like A Desert bonus if you're a pet owner Double Desert cake I Bet It Smells funny
the most crazy part in all this is that the actual compressor in the unit is rated for 8000BTU nut the unit is sold as 11000BTU. Good Job LG.
How the fuck do you get the panels off?
That part is kind of important as well.
Yes show how you got the back panel off!!
how do you even take it apart
Yes, how do we remove the panels? I keep trying and getting stuck. Am afraid to break it.
Make sure all the screws are removed. Sometimes their are some screws in the filter compartment and sometimes under the AC. Look carefully at the plastic cover all around because that’s where ppl get frustrated and give up. Then when you know you got every darn screw, giggle the cover at the seams, sometimes you need a flat head screwdriver to pry apart. Once it starts to loosen, it will eventually be easily removed. Don’t forget to put all the screws in o small container so not to lose any.
@@heyoou that is exactly how we finally got it completely opened up. Thank you for taking the time to help.
Use teeth brush, then brush it on that dust
How did you get the plastic case off?!
I gotta know too.
Yes. There are a lot of screws and many of them seem to be hidden
I have one of these. Mine started making loud noises and then stopped cooling. I took cover off and cleaned condenser and evaporator but it doesn't cool like it did before. Does this mean the compressor is damaged?
Sorry - I just own the unit - don't know anything else about how to fix it.
They probably leaked Freon or the compressor starter is dead
Clean it with a toothbrush or a paint brush
Crikey! :P
Did the aircon come with a filter and did you use it?
Yes, it comes with a filter on the back, but it only protects the upper fins. The lower fins have no filter protection. But again - I opened this maybe 5 years or so, so it's no doubt a little dirty, but I didn't expect this.
Whats the model number and capacity ?
Pls. study more in order to be beneficial your blog to the viewer ok?
Nice video full of complaining
use a water hose with spryer
