    Hi,

    First let me apologize if this is the wrong place for my question but didn’t know who else to ask & some of you are expert on hardware so that you might know. Tried to google but no definitive answer.

    I just bought LG Dual Inverter 1.5 Ton A/C & Outdoor unit fan stops after set temp is reached. It also does not start for 10 to 15 minutes or sometimes not at all if indoor temp goes 2 or 3 degrees above set temp.

    Also at night many times it keeps running beyond set temp bringing the temp so low that I shiver & wake up.

    Before purchasing Several Sales people told me that neither Fan nor Compressor completely stop even when set tem is reached. They only slow down.

    So what is the truth ? Does outdoor unit fan stop when desired temp is reached ? The compressor certainly does not so what happens then ? & is there something wrong with my A/C.

    Again please forgive me if this is not the right forum.

    Thank You

    Have you read the owner's manual?

    usually as long as there is a temp difference the fan will continue to run until the temp of the cooling or heating element is the same as room temp. think of it as coasting down a hill....

    Some vital info is missing.
    We don't know if you are somewhere in the hot and dry Sahara Desert or
    Death Valley, the US or whatever.

    So I will fill the gap.

    The outdoor unit fan stops after the set temp is reached. <<< This sounds reasonable

    It also does not start for 10 to 15 minutes or sometimes not at all if
    the indoor temp goes 2 or 3 degrees higher than the set temp of say 24 degrees C and the outdoor temp of around 35 degrees C <<<< Something is wrong.
    Your indoor temperature is not getting lower


    Also at night many times, it keeps running beyond the set temp bringing the temp so low that I shiver & wake up. <<<<Something is wrong.
    Your Indoor temperature is getting lower and lower and lower


    Before purchasing Several Salespeople told me that neither the Fan nor Compressor completely stop even when the set time is reached. They only slow down <<<< not true. The fan will run or completely stop running.


    So what is the truth? Does the outdoor unit fan stop when the desired temp is reached? <<<< True.

    The compressor certainly does not so what happens then? & is there something wrong with my A/C.

    Your A/C system is designed by a freak engineer.
    It is probably the only piece in the world.

    Or the technician who installed it (or did you install it yourself?)
    did not connect the
    wiring/piping correctly.
