Question about LG LS-L1210CL Mini Split Air Conditioner
When I open my LG, the fan in the outside part of my AC doesn't run. The inside part provides some air for few minutes and then my breaker overloaded and turned off. Is is the fan on the outside part that is the problem???....What can I do to resolved it?
If it is the compressor at fault it will be at the discretion of the manufacturer as to what they replace. I would suggest you contact an aircon engineer who can help you diagnose the problem because a professional will have to be in touch with the manufacturer. As you are getting in touch with the contractor who supplied the equipment that will be the correct route to go. Hope this helps.

On most air cons there is a time delay before the outside unit starts and LG are no exception. This function means that erratic power supplies wont kill the compressor (outside bit). If the internal fan runs for a few minutes and then the trip goes then it sounds like you have a faulty compressor. This tends to be a scenario for a failed compresssor. What you can try is putting the unit on FAN ONLY (no cooling) and see if the power stays on. If you are more technically competent you could isolate the power to the compressor on the external unit (AFTER ISOLATING THE POWER TO THE WHOLE SYSTEM). And then try putting it on cooling to see if the external fan works. If the trip is not thrown then you have a faulty compressor. I would also like to point out that most A/C manufacturers offer a three year parts warranty so you may have some sort of cover depending on the age of your unit. In which case get an aircon guy out who knows what they are doing (personal reccomendation is always a good starting point). Hope this helps.

I tried to put my unit on FAN ONLY, and the power stays on!.....That means my problem is my compressor right??? ( sorry, my English is not very good, so it's hard for me to understand difficult words. My first language is french)...
That's great to hear that some manufacturers offer three years warranty! Because it's been only 2 years that we bought this A/C with the constructor of this condo, so I'm gonna try to ask the constructor for the warranty!...
If it is the compressor the problem, can we change the compressor or do we have to change the whole unit?
