    Squelching/bubbling noise in outdoor unit in heating mode



    My LG unit in heating mode seems to be making squelching bubbling sounds at the outdoor unit?

    Is this normal, attached is a video link where I have recorded the sound you can hear it along with the compressor, which ramps up towards the end, compressor sounds fine but this noise is making me wonder as not sure if made it last year but it was probably short on refrigerant. My biggest scare is if moisture gets into the system because most of the cowboys that attended have messed around with it so much.

    The unit was happily plodding along and not working very hard it seems to make this noise all the time in heating, not so much in cooling.

    Would you say is normal?

    Have you checked to see if the defrost water is collecting in the bottom of the casing and getting 'sloshed' around by the fan.

    No water in the bottom, happily draining out the hole and not collecting.

    The noise is definatly from the refrigeration side?

    Is it not normal to make this noise then?

    Back 2 Space, you need to rip out that LG system of yours, sell it on ebay then get out a bit more. Pubs are quite good, gyms are great, I even met a girl once when I went out.
    I'm beginning to think your life revolves around your air con system.
