SHORT CYCLES AND LOUD

With a heating cycle set at 70 degrees and an outside temperature of 42 degrees, it switches on and off in one minute cycles. Can't sleep when this happens. The device is loud enough to keep me awake. You need to adjust the volume of the TV in 4 levels and average when it turns on. The tightness around the block is good, but I think the outside air temperature is migrating through the body of the block. Maybe remote temp. A sensor in the remote helps, as we've seen on some devices. It heats up…

The thermostat is dead and rattling loudly!

I would not recommend this air conditioner/heater, the main problem I had was the thermostat not working. Always at least 5 degrees room temperature, sometimes up to 10 degrees room temperature. For example, set it to 73 degrees and it will fluctuate between 63 and 67. Second, it rattles like crazy. In fact, the plastic parts of the air nozzle rattle. When I hold them it's quiet, but when I let go they rattle like crazy no matter how I adjust them. Update: DO NOT BUY! The thermostat is now so…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Warranty covers repairs (if they can be fixed), but LG doesn't have an authorized repair shop in my area (New Orleans). You pay a handyman of my choice; However, I can't find anyone willing to fix LG home appliances ANYWHERE. That's right - the first two places I called actually have a company policy that excludes all LG home appliances from their scope of services. In other words, I can't pay anyone to come fix this thing. Even if I offered my money instead of a guarantee. This is the first…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to say

So far it seems to be very good. For example, we built it into the wall.

Updated on 08/18/2018 (after 2 years of flawless work). It was an amazingly reliable and efficient air conditioner. It cools perfectly in warm weather and works well in winter by providing the necessary heat. We are more than satisfied. -------- Previous Comments: We built it into the wall about 30cm off the floor. Didn't really get a chance to use part of the air conditioning, but the heating mechanism works as advertised. I'm in Dallas and we haven't really had weather under 40 anywhere I've…

  • A lot of positive emotions

LG Air Conditioner Repair Service Doesn't Exist

Purchased LG window air conditioner, model #LW1216hr, 05/07/21. I installed the air conditioning at the end of May. On 09/06/21 the air conditioning had to be switched off because of escaping smoke. Submit a repair request to LG through the repair requirements. No air conditioning. The LG repair service near me didn't accept my repair ticket, so LG informed me. I have since made 3 more repair requests through the LG website and all I get is they expedite my repair request! I called LG support…

This device needs to be recalled due to the fan.

Don't buy I never leave a bad review, but today I will. I bought the device on 7/24/2020, it worked great, but in March 2021 all the fan blades broke. I went to the LG website and several people had the exact same issue. LG needs to recall this part/device, sales reps gave me a discount because I wasn't the only one calling with the same issue. Don't waste your time and Def is not your money. TO UPDATE. NOW MY UNIT DOES NOT BLAST COLD AIR AT ALL BECAUSE THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT TURN ON. HE STILL

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • I have doubts

LG Window Air Conditioner 12,000 BTU 230V with Heating Function 11,200 BTU

The instructions state that all 4 screws on the sides and back of this unit must be removed and then the support frame separated. When pulling the heavy main unit out of the frame, it got stuck because both parts were glued between the black seals. Because of this, it took a lot of effort and energy to separate the two and it took a very long time. I initially assumed that the slide rails were damaged and the device wasn't popping out properly. Some of the small details of the external assembly

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Upgradeable
