Frequently Asked Questions - SP122CM LG

How often should I clean the air filter?
Clean the washable pre-filter every 2 weeks under normal usage. More frequently in dusty environments. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and may cause freezing. To clean, remove the filter and vacuum or rinse with water, then dry before reinstalling.
What does error code E1 mean on my LG SP122CM?
Error code E1 typically indicates a thermistor failure in the indoor unit. It may be caused by a faulty sensor or loose wiring. Turn off the unit and contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair. Do not attempt to fix electrical components yourself.
How do I set the timer on my LG air conditioner?
Press the Timer button on the remote control. Use the up/down arrows to set the desired time (e.g., 2 hours). Then press Set to confirm. The unit will turn on or off automatically after the set period. Refer to the manual for detailed timer operations.
Can I use an extension cord with my air conditioner?
No, do not use an extension cord. The SP122CM requires a dedicated power outlet with proper voltage and grounding. Extension cords can overheat and cause fire. Use a surge protector rated for the unit's amperage if needed, but direct connection to a wall outlet is safest.
Why is ice forming on the outdoor unit?
Ice on the outdoor coil during heating mode in cold weather is normal as the unit periodically defrosts. However, excessive ice in cooling mode may indicate low refrigerant, dirty filter, or blocked airflow. Check the filter and outdoor coil, and contact a technician if the problem persists.
How do I reset the remote control?
Remove the batteries from the remote control for 1-2 minutes, then reinsert them. Ensure they are correctly oriented. If the remote still does not respond, replace the batteries with new ones. Also check for any obstructions between the remote and the unit's sensor.
What room size is recommended for this air conditioner?
The LG SP122CM with 12,000 BTU/h is suitable for rooms up to 500-550 square feet (approx. 46-51 square meters). Factors like ceiling height, insulation, and sun exposure may affect actual cooling capacity. For larger rooms, consider a higher BTU model.
How do I switch between cooling and heating?
Press the Mode button on the remote control to cycle through Cool, Heat, Dry, and Fan. Select Cool for cooling and Heat for heating (heat pump models only). The unit will display the selected mode. Ensure the desired temperature is set appropriately.
Why is my air conditioner not cooling?
Possible causes: dirty air filter, blocked outdoor unit, low refrigerant, incorrect thermostat setting, or mode set to Fan. Start by cleaning the filter and checking that the unit is in Cool mode with a set temperature lower than room temperature. If still not cooling, contact a professional.
Is it safe to recharge refrigerant myself?
No, refrigerant recharge should only be performed by a certified HVAC technician. Handling R410A requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Improper charging can damage the system, cause safety hazards, and violate environmental regulations. Contact LG authorized service.

What spare parts should I order to replace the fan and the support of the outdoor unit of the LG SP122CM?
Frequently Asked Questions - 15 d
Response Notice-Facile

For your LG SP122CM air conditioner, the outdoor unit (the casing that is outside) contains the fan and its support (bracket). If these components are damaged, you will need to replace them.

Parts to order:

  • Outdoor unit fan (fan motor and blades) - this is the rotating part that distributes the cold air
  • Support / bracket - the metal structure that holds the fan in place
  • Electrical connectors - if the cables are also damaged

How to obtain the parts:

  • Note your exact model number: LG SP122CM - this is essential to order the correct parts
  • Contact an authorized LG spare parts dealer or a specialized platform (Spareka, Livraison-Pieces, etc.) providing the LG SP122CM model
  • You can also contact an LG after-sales service that can provide you with the official part references and order numbers

Important: Do not attempt to replace these parts yourself if you are not qualified - the outdoor unit contains pressurized refrigerant. Have a certified LG technician carry out this repair.

Electrical Safety

▲ WARNING

• This appliance must be properly grounded.
To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must alway plug into a grounded outlet.
- Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug.
- Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
- If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

Temporary Use of an Adapter

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a genuine adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

▲ WARNING

- Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

Temporary Use of an Extension Cord

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards.

▲ WARNING

This appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. This guide acts as a guide to help to explain product features.

Operation Tips!

Do not overcool the room.

This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.

Keep blinds or curtains closed.

Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.

Keep the room temperature uniform.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.

Make sure that the doors and windows are shut thight.

Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the room.

Clean the air filter regularly.

Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.

Ventilate the room occasionally.

Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and ten.

Use high fan speed for effective and fast cooling.

The unit gives its rated cooling capacity when the fan speed is high.
