LG Capacitor - Room not cold
Hi all,
I ain't a contract of air conditioning but i am located in singapore. Recently i had problems with my LG air con..
I am using the LG split unit system in my home, one indoor unit is in my parents room and the other in my room.
When both air con is switched on...both had warm air coming out, only the occasional cold air...then parents room air con was switched off , then my air con is v cold.
contractor told me its due to a capacitor and he somehow is not able to get the exact LG capacitor used in the compressor.....
any of u knows the brand/model of it so i could look it up over here on my side
thanks a million!

Re: LG Capacitor - Room not cold
Capacitors are totaly inter-changable as long as you use the correct rating. On the side of the capacitor you will see a number with uF at the side of it. eg 30 uF that means 30 micro farrad.
Your particular cappacitor should be some thing like 30/1.5uF +/-5%. It is just two capacitors in the same body.
The make will be Nuintek in korea but any patten part will do.
Just a quick question though. Why does your guysay the capacitor is faulty because the symptons you explain don't imediatly sound like a capacitor fault to me.
Cheers taz.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: LG Capacitor - Room not cold
Some LG twin head multi units have two compressors.
Is it possible the interconnecting wires are wrong?

Re: LG Capacitor - Room not cold
The two evap controls are crossed over. The one bedroom evap calls for cooling but it brings in the other comp. Therefore the evap that is calling for cooling does not get any and the one that did not want it does.

Oh by the way the last post was not a definative answer to your problem just a possibility and confirming what Temprite stated.
