Troubleshooting LG 12k Window A/C?
This unit has worked finel for quite a number of years. But suddenly
this past month, after a particularly hot and humid spell, the compressor will NOT shut off. Even if the unit is powered off the compressor keeps running. I've had to unplug it to get it to stop. If I plug it back in the compressor starts up immediately and keeps running. Is there anything that I as a homeowner can try or do to remedy this issue? Any ideas, suggestions, etc greatly appreciated. Thanks --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

It could, possibly be replaced. |

I'd call their tech support people, and ask. This email has been checked for common sense by a Mormon and has been found lacking. .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |
