*It’s: Pretty. Quiet. **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Works wellLittle of hassle to install was TOTALLY worth it. I’m loving it so far. I recommend watching the installation video and taking it slow~*
Yeah, just way too much screwing and damaging everything and the window in these "(de|in)structions"! 🙀 🇩🇪💙🇷🇺
Maybe this is some kind of easter egg joke by LG?! Check 02:55 - nothing there fits at all, in their own instruction/promotion video! löööööl 😹💦
The according sides are a pain to screw in. What genius designed this
Look like you need to screw the AC directly on the window itself. The issue is you will have a bunch of screw holes all over your window frame :( if you don't need the AC anymore.
I just bought this AC (8,000 btu). Very good AC, but I highly suggest skipping all these little "support brackets" and going with a real, external AC unit bracket, that has the built in level and extends outside, with the bottom arm firmly pressed against the outside of the building. There is a great AC support bracket, called A/C Safe Air Conditioner Support (universal) that doesn't even require screws and will keep this at the proper angle. These little brackets are ridiculous especially for renters.
I repeat: this is a good a/c unit! But buy yourself a real support bracket arm with leveler.
Hi, where can I find the AC support bracket ?
I watched this because I couldn’t make a y sense of the instructions included with my new LG air conditioner. Unfortunately, these instructions don’t make any sense either, and don’t help me actually fit the air conditioner in my standard vinyl windows. I love the moment at 2:40 where you literally “secure” the type B screws by hanging them off the nubbins on the bottom edges of the curtain panels. I was so excited when my new AC arrived today. I started to install it, and had to run out for a piece of wood to fit in behind my window sill. Attempted install #2. But I can’t get the angle of the unit right, and can’t figure out where to secure those lower screws. Watched about a dozen other videos to finally figure out I actually need a piece of wood to fit in front of the vinyl window sill in order to raise the front of the unit, allow for proper drainage and have something to screw those bottom screws to. Hopefully install attempt #3 will be successful after I go back to the hardware store tomorrow.
What's with the instruction: "do not install in direct sunlight?"
Just about every window that I am aware of is in direct sunlight.
I need a photo or better description of where the window is placed relative to the top rail. Is it the window on top or behind the track. The two L brackets are also not clear, I probably wouldn’t use them any way because im trying to avoid screw holes in my window
I cannot figure out what those brackets are supposed to do. The whole "easy" install is a myth... heading to Lowes tomorrow to pick up stuff to cob the installation.
no direct sunlight? I need ac because my room's on the 2nd floor in direct sunlight.
moving on.
I live in a climate that can reach 35C in summer, and -35 in the winter. This unit would have to be removed at the end of every summer... with these instructions they provide here, we'd have to be screwing holes in the windows every year! Is there no better way to secure these units without having to physically screw them into the wall every time?
any suggestions for people who live in concert block house and marble window seals?
We just bought the LG dual cool window type aircon. Question, how can we change the temperature mode from Fahrenheit to celsius? Thanks
I remember using an after market remote from Amazon. It changed it from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
hey lg the drain cap at the bottom should be remove for dripping exces water or not required to remove for condesation
The verbal instructions don’t match what the actors are doing or any instruction manual and it’s confusing as hell. Super job!
They tried to make it easier dude chill
Sure wish I found this video and read the comments before I went and bought an LG AC... so far, not happy.
Yea,, they are a real pos..
Just bought the lg window air conditioner lw6017r. Purchased this because my previous unit was 8 years old and worried that it won't last another season. Two complaints. 1) Installing the curtain was a nightmare and took over an hour. So difficult getting those screws tightened. 2) although the remote works fine from across the room, I can't see the controls or temp. Not the best design but it is cooling nicely and smaller than my previous 6,000 BTU unit. If anyone has a secret for installing the curtain, please share.
I abandoned the curtain altogether. Supposedly it fits a 35” opening but it will NOT even span 34”. I stretched it to the point of almost flattening out the pleats. Ended up fabricating my own substitute curtains out of plywood.
Is it true that is quiet ? That is the description of it. Is there a big difference in noise ? Thank you.
No. The only way to get a quiet air conditioner is to get whole house with the unit outside, or in-wall with the motor outside. Once the compressor kicks all these window air conditioners make a brummm noise (like the sound of an electric toothbrush).
lmao "don't put in direct sunlight." It's a freaking window air conditioner. If this can't survive sunlight then it should say "Shaded window air conditioner." This is what happens when you let companies go unregulated marketing whatever they want to scam customers (unlimited plans but not if you actually use too much). If my window air conditioner doesn't last a few years, I am returning this product.
Lmao how TF you gonna return something after several years
I guess they are suggesting if given a choice locate out of the sun, it will cool better. Or make a shade over it.

use your head. if it’s in direct sunlight the unit will get overheated
I have this same exact unit. There is a soft black foam in the celing of the unit where the air comes out. Remove this because it collects moisture and will mold and mildew.
Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Window Air Conditioner. We truly appreciate your feedback.
You're right about the soft black foam in the unit's ceiling. Removing it can help prevent moisture buildup, essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment. We always recommend checking the owner's manual for specific maintenance tips, but your insight is invaluable for other users: www.lg.com/us/support/manuals-documents
If you have a concern/issue regarding your LG product, please get in touch with us on Facebook or x @LGUSSupport. Refer to this link for guides/basic troubleshooting: www.lg.com/us/support/help-library. ^Con
@LGUSA Any engineer would know the materials porosity would collect moisture and become hazardous to people over time. While being impossible to fully clean without damaging the unit. Its installment is intentional as other air conditioning manufactioners use an appropriate material as insulation. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I hope you guys start making an effort for damage control.
We appreciate your insights regarding this. Please know that we prioritize safety for all of our products. This will be considered for our future product developments. -Cazz
May I ask if the rubber cup need under the back of the aircon to remove for drainage?
Hi there, we thank you for your question. We suggest leaving the rubber drain plug in place, as it allows water to collect in the drain pan and get expelled through the vents, helping to cool the condenser coils and improve efficiency.
If you have further question and assistance please send us a private message here: www.lg.com/us/support/contact

@@LGUSA may I ask again how to enable the auto clean mode of this aircon?and how will I know if its working?
Hi, there. With the air conditioner running in COOL, DRY, ENERGY SAVER, or HEAT mode, press the AUTO CLEAN button (On the remote). “AUTO CLEAN” will be displayed on the LCD. Press the POWER button to turn the air conditioner off. However, please note that this function only applies to certain models. For further assistance regarding this matter, please send us a private message on Facebook or X at @LGUSSupport, and our social media team will be glad to assist you further with this. `Al
They need to make a video for installing a larger unit. This is seriously not helpful at all and the instruction manual is an absolute joke.
YEAH the owner manual is garbage and confusing
You got a manual?!
You need support legs off the outer wall, for 8k and above, in my opinion.
What is the purpose of the L brackets? It's not clear in the printed instructions either.
Do you know to take the front off to clean coil
I was thinking the same!
Where do I get the wood bracket to make my unit flush to my window sill? That's BS that they act like this is easy to obtain
Do you have an inner sill? The window in the video doesn’t have one. You can get a 2x3 or 2x4 and cut to fit, I used the inner sill, I didn’t want any weight on my window vinyl frame. So the wood runs across the entire sill and it’s screwed down into the sill and further. The channel under the ac sits behind it. If it’s bigger than 6k, i would have legs off the outer wall, no way the sash can take the forces essentially pulling it outward.
Not everyone has double hung windows. Many have sliding windows. Would be nice to have an easy way to make it compatible.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand the importance of having products that are compatible with various window types, including sliding windows. We will share your suggestion with our product development team to explore options for making our products more versatile and user-friendly for different window configurations.
Your input is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it with us. If there is anything else we can assist you with or if you have further suggestions, please let us know. You can send us a private message through @LGUSSupport on Facebook it X anytime. ^Danee
I did this and the damn thing fell out the same night , now i have to take meds for depression ...
Wow omg
lmao thats comedy
We have to screw brackets into the window sill? Not happy about that. Also, my A/C didn't come with the guide already installed at the top of the unit like in this video. There are no instructions for how to attach the guide to the unit. It don't know which screws to use. There are two screws with washers and the rest without, but there are no instructions for where the two screws with washers are supposed to go. II wish these companies spent a little more time and care creating instruction manuals that covered all the details so we wouldn't have to scour the Internet for hours looking for better instructions.
mine didnt come with a drain tube and theres no hole to put a drain tibe
You would think LG would address your comment... but unfortunately these days it is a pathetic shell of a company which relies on automation and it's brand name alone to survive these days. My new unit is like yours as well... unlike my 2017 model which have in another room that is whisper quiet and has the drain hole, my 2019 model that is loud as hell does not have the drain hole.
Same here. Just bought mine brand new and it comes with a drain tube but just like you I have no hole to put it in...
@@joakimix1 lmfao of course
well im still using it and it works.. lol i think as long as its tilted just right it still drains
the pan is rusting, supposedly the fan will swish the water away but it is slowly rusting away
Hello, I have an issue with a LG lw1216er. The unit is spattering condensation on the building facade I believe because of the blade that is designed to dip into the condensation and splash water onto the evaporator. It is also dripping out of various locations. I inspected the tray and it doesn't have any obvious failure points. The only solution I can think of is to build an outer shell with a slope to a drainage point to catch any dripping/spatter but would still allow airflow. Is this a common problem? Do you have any suggestions for other solutions?
Hi, Andrew! We would love to help you out. However, we do not have customer service on UA-cam. Please reach out to our support team on FB or Twitter (LGUSSUPPORT). Thanks! ^Emma
I have an older unit and now I observed that the light on the "'PLUG" no longer turns on when plugged in. Anyone know why?
How do you know if the vent is open or closed ?
i have the dual inverter window ac and the damn Guard Rail/Rod does not my fit my window i cant fully secure it
The energy saving was working for the first few days and now all of a sudden it just keeps staying on it’s not shutting off yet it’s on energy saver I’m not sure what I should do
Is the L Brsckets on the sill mandatory/required?
Is there a drain plug that was supposed to be removed? When I have it in Eco-mode, when it turns off, it sounds like water draining on the inside of the unit. The 1st part of this video talks about a drain plug being in the box, but doesn't talk about what to do with it.
@John John I read in the trouble shooting part that the water sounds I was hearing was normal. So hopefully I’m good. My unit didn’t have a plug but the video mentioned one at the beginning.
Does anyone know if the L-Brackets go inside or outside the window? The printed instructions say they go outside but this video makes it look like they go inside. Are they even necessary? They're pretty flimsy. Called LG support but they could not explain why their won instructions conflict.
I didn't get it either. When I put the AC on the window, the brackets just bent. Like they didn't fit. So I took them out and just put 1 L-Bracket in the center lip of the AC (the part that keeps it from falling out the window) to hold the window down. I didn't want to put holes in the vinyl windows.
Does this air conditioner can connect to LG ThinQ ??
Hey there. The model shown in the installation video does not have Wi-Fi connection capabilities. However, if you are looking for an AC unit that can connect to the LG ThinQ application, we have several options available. Check out our smart Wi-Fi-enabled AC units here: www.lg.com/us/window-air-conditioners?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo8js6fX7hgMViNjCBB2HXwkLEAAYASAAEgLYmfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds. Hope this helps. ^ Diego
No
Where is the drain hole located?!
Why do not install through the wall?
How much is for one hour power
I have the 8,000 BTU and it is old and I do it myself every time
I still don't know where the hell I am suppose to install those two L brackets. I know 7.5 inches from the center on either side, but how far back? The manual is garbage. And why is there a huge gap on the bottom of the AC? Oh gee thanks for giving me side panels and weather stripping for the window, but you didn't design your damn air condition to sit flat on the sill.

LOL 2:38 that screw just hangs there!
For LW8019ER *200BTU Ridiculous, they added a plastic guide to curtain for the bottom with no clear directions for the LW8019ER the two-holes it fits in is almost 2 inches behind the top curtain guide. Plus it gets in the way of mounting the cabinet,
I dont want to sound dumb, But. Can the 9,800 btu LG that says 115V be plugged into a typical 110 house outlet.
yes
Alguien me puede decir cómo se baja el deflector de aire vertical?? O este modelo solo se queda hacia arriba por qué no baja de manera manual??
Goddamn, the zipped through the making of this tutorial lol. Way too fast! I can’t even see wtf they’re doing before they jumped to next step!
Good thing it's a video: you can pause and rewind as much as you want.
What if you have vinly windows?
Seal under unit also
Why the aircon tilted slightly downwards? what is the porpose of that. Thanks
Water drainage from the unit.
Terrible guide. How about slow down and show more detail for the things you are showing
These people write instruction manuals, they don't know how to instruct people.
Help! You're missing the step showing how to attach the frame to the unit. Please advise!
I had this model before I actually still do an 8,000 btu unit
No one cares🥴
@@mrobvious5892 Who spit in your soda son?
Not everyone has this type of window.
Well then do not buy it.
Buy a wall aircon then

Is it available in India ?
See I hope you are ok
Per unit cost brother because we live in poor country
1. LG needs to include at least twice as much foam, or address the issue with the HUGE gap on the bottom. 2. The whole unit literally sits on top of the two screws meant to hold the bottom brackets, making it very prone to slipping forward and out of the correctly seated position. 3. There really is no way to screw in the bottom of the sliders, as they are placed too high and stick out too far. 4. The instructions at the end about taking screws out of the side and installing support brackets is a joke, because those screws sit about 3" above my inner window sill. Not happening guys.
There's a part about putting in a piece of wood in the space in the bottom window sill, I'm assuming that's why. This is more complicated than I ever thought it would be.
I put it in the back seat of my car and rigged it up electrically....keeps my car super cold inside
this lady i work with drives around with a propane heater inside her car when its cold, lol.
한국에도 출시해주세요!
Does it have automatic shut off
This 5,000 a/c does NOT, Repeat done Not fit a 35 inch wide window. It says it does, but it is a lie. The unit is only 17 1/2 wide, those slide panels will only stretch out 7 inches on both sides. so that is 14 inches and 17. 1/2 inches for a total 31 inches, lease a 4 inch gap. two inches on both sides.

Is there anyone that can install it for me like Home Depot?
Best buy
To: SimplyMe Godschild,
🔵 Either Home Depot or Lowe's will do it for around $130 or-so Per-unit.
Pueden poner vídeos en español por favor? Gracias
Just like my LG air conditioner
Why can't it be used as a "through the wall" unit?
It can, I have a small unit through a wall opening. Just tilt back properly so drains outside.
Um where the hole in these ac tho?
drain hole?
there isnt one, they use a slinger.
@@WalterKnox are you saying this thing does not have a drain hole and it relies solely on the fan to prevent water from overflowing?
@@DarthVader-1701 they have a plug in the back but it let's less than half of the water out, most modern units have no drain and the fan slings the water on the coil and compressor to keep it cool, you can put a drain hole in the bottom and it will work but it will not be as efficient and it will run hot which will cause it to not last as long.
@@WalterKnox is there a risk of mold building up? I live in a humid area and I dont like the idea of having standing water in my AC pan
Mine work the engine but is not working

The user guide litterally said dont use a drill and here they are using a drill...wtf????
I have a 6000btu unit it doesn't cool jack. Its only cool directly in front of it. I have a tiny apt and it can't even cool it at all.
To: Anne Summers,
🔵 It sounds to me like you're asking too much of a 6000 BTU unit, I don't know how many square feet your apartment is, but it sounds like you need upwards of a 10000 to 12000 BTU unit.
@@joshhayl7459 I have the 10 000 and it's actually less effective than our previous 5000 one from another "cheaper" brand. So far not impressed by the product..
🔵 That's a damned-shame!, I'd heard good things about LG air conditioners initially, I guess their quality has dropped considerably since!
@@joshhayl7459 Yeah I'm afraid so. We tried buying something that wasn't coming from China for this one; good luck with that!

The side panel screws are impossible to screw in, can't even fit a screw driver in there. Who carries a 6 foot long screw driver!? Also the screws just won't go in.
I had to muscle it, but using an electric drill made it much easier
Most houses have the other kind of window so this video does not help one bit

Good Job thank you
my screws won't go tf in hahaha

WHERE'S HOW YOU TAKE OFF COVER AND CLEAN IT! MAINTENANCE! SICK OF IT! Now I won't buy LG either. Your products are overpriced, disposable and you never value your oversees customers. I lived in Korea, I know how this works.
Exactly
I can't plug it into my outlet. Do I need a special adapter?
Alas, you must must must have a 3 prong grounded outlet. running it on anything but a dedicated circuit with proper ground is not good.
