Normal operation: There's a pan or bucket in the bottom of the unit to catch water that condenses out of the air when it's running. That's probably what is full. I don't know about this particular model, but the ones I've seen have a drain valve to empty the water. Put a large cake pan under the valve and open it, then close it when the water stops running. The water is good for watering plants - similar to rain water. (Some models may have a removable bucket.)
Abnormal operation: the condensate tank is empty and still reads full. The first thing would be to check the water level switch to see if it is stuck in the full position (check the switch itself as well as the float actuator). After that you'd have to check the switch connections at the control board to verify that it is reading the switch (with the unit unplugged, check for continuity with an ohmmeter while you manipulate the switch).
Chavez - It may simply be a case of what humidity extraction level you have the unit set on. Once the unit extracts the humidity/moisture for the level it's set on, it shuts OFF. When the level rises again, it turns ON. Try lowering the level to 32-35%. I suspect it will run longer at that setting. However, it the humidity level in your house is not high, the unit is operating as it should.
Dry mode is used to remove humidity from the room without additional cooling. Once the set temperature is reached, the compressor and circulation fan turns off and only the exhaust fan will run. Fan speed is pre-set and cannot be adjusted.

Sorry but you are just going to have to keep emptying it.These types or air conditioners are also use as de-humidifiers and unless you can place it somewhere where you can connect a drain hose it is going to require many trips to dump the holding tank of the condensation.
Hi, if you are talking about the defrost timer, its the main control board. I wouldn't remove it until you have the new one in front of you. Get the numbers from your board, and try and locate one. Remove the 4 screws at each corner, and start removing each wire and put on the new board. This will do it. Sincerely. Shastalaker7
Hello my name is Heath it will be my pleasure to assist you. This is normal depending on the amount of humididty in the air the faster it will fill. What you could do is run an external drain line to drain the water while its filling so you don't have to keep dumping the fill pan.
there is a lot of himidity in the air, and it's trying to remove it. that's what it does. but the more you open the door or the windows, the more moist air comes in, making the ac work harder.
The FL error usually means that there is excess water in the drain pan. Look for the drain plug cap at the bottom of the back of the air conditioner. Remove the cap and tilt the air conditioner so that any water in the drain pan will run out. If the room is extremely humid and the air conditioner is set to Cool, this is normal. To reduce the water level issue, set the fan speed to Low. If the air conditioner is in the Dry (dehumidifying) mode, try setting it to Cool. Alternatively, consider using a hose if your unit allows for a continuous drain.
Unplug the air conditioner for at least 10 seconds to reset the unit if the error persists. If the drain pan is dry or the error recurs before more water fills the drain pan after the reset, then the air conditioner needs service.
Please add a comment with the model number of the unit if you need help finding the drain pan cap. I hope this helps.

The error is that the DC voltage is too high, not the house AC voltage. It should regulate through a transformer. Get LG to send an engineer under warranty. If you have a multimeter, you can test your house voltage.
DC peak error / IPM fault; compressor DC voltage was too high.
You have to try resetting the system. First turn the breaker off for the condenser and wait about 20 seconds. After you turn it back on the system should reset. Also What is the model of your air conditioner. With out that information i cant help you with your ac repair problem

Question edited for clarity and translated to English.
A CH 24 error code indicates a pressure switch error. To Resolve: Make sure the air filter in the unit is clean. Remove any items or reposition the unit so that the air flow is not obstructed.

It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with one of the indoor units on your LG dual inverter air conditioner, where it was stuck in defrost mode while the other unit was working properly in heating mode.
It sounds like you've already replaced the control board of the indoor unit that was stuck in defrost mode and it fixed the problem. The control board is responsible for controlling the various functions of the air conditioner and it is a common cause of malfunction in air conditioning systems.
It's great that you've been able to fix the issue, but if the problem comes back or you're experiencing other issues, it's best to contact LG's customer service or a professional technician for further assistance.
It's important to note that troubleshooting and repairing air conditioners can be dangerous, especially if you're not familiar with the device, so it's best to contact a professional technician if you're not comfortable working with it.
