Hello, i have an LG portable air conditioner Model number L1111WXRY1 The fan on it works fine but the condenser seems to keep shutting off every minute and stays off for a while, mind you thr fan still runs so instead of blowing cold air it blows room temperature air. I checked the coils and theyre not frozen, the filter has been cleaned, and i have shut it off and left it off for half and hour. Does anyone know why this is happening? Also, rught before the compressor shuts off i hear a weird clicking noise just once.

I would start with adding freon to system, from what you are stating freon is low. You may have a small leak, so use freon with leak seal, also use freon with gauge so you dont over fill and blow orings.

I would say that your return air sensor is faulty or not positioned correctly. Check sensor

Do you have a meter? Either the fan is bad or the capacitor is bad. Ohm out the fan and then the capacitor. Be sure you take the disconnect out of the electrical box on the side of the house and or trip the breaker off. The capacitor is a dual run one side operates the compressor and one side operates the fan. I would really bet on the capacitor being bad. Have seen that a lot in my experience. Be sure to make note of the wiring of the capacitor before you take it out to check and if you are not sure how to check it take it to the parts house and they can check it.

Try to remove rear wall of freezer to check frost pattern. An even but light patter of frost on full coil is normal. Coils full of frost with aluminum almost fully hidden generally means defrost problem. Heavier frost on the bottom coils and gradually tapering off as you go up until the top coils have no frost usually means a leak of freon or a bad compressor.
