My LG LP1200DXR Portable Air Conditioner seems to be working properly, cooling the room as it should but no longer is draining any water. It does not shut off as it would when it is full although I have the drain connected to a longer hose that drains to an outside source (a large container on the lower level of the house) In the beginning of the season I was emtying this container about every other day and now there has been nothing at all for a few weeks even when there were plenty of humid days. Is there something wrong with the unit?

If it hasnt been drained then there is likely a float switch that is keeping the compressor from running so that it doesnt overflow.

Wrong site for that

All air conditioners collect condensate. It has to drain somewhere. Try connecting tubing to the drain hole or port. In order for air conditioners to remove heat from a space, they also remove humidity, which is water vapor in the air. Like placing a cold beverage in a warm room, it will form condensate (water) around it. The water that you were trying to drain out already leaked out. This is a normal thing for condensation to form when cooling. The condensate needs to be emptied regularly or piped with flexible tubing to a window or plumbing.This is the same as water dripping from your car while the A/C is on.

How is the temperature of the air coming out of the unit?

on the back of the ac is a drain plug at the bottom. place a pan of some type and remove the plug the water will drain

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.

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.

so the unit is running but not cooling?
