Is that annoying LG air conditioner timer driving you crazy? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many LG AC users find the timer function a bit tricky to navigate. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to disable that timer and reclaim control of your cooling comfort. We'll cover various LG air conditioner models and remote types to ensure you find the solution that works for you.
Locating the Timer Button on Your LG Air Conditioner Remote
The first step is to find the timer button on your LG air conditioner remote. It usually looks like a clock icon or has the word "Timer" written next to it. The exact location and appearance may vary depending on your specific model, but it's typically located amongst the other operational buttons.
Common Remote Timer Button Locations:
- Near the On/Off button: Often positioned directly next to or near the main power button.
- Amongst operational buttons: It may be grouped with other functions like Fan Speed, Mode, and Swing.
- Separate function button: Some remotes may have a dedicated button with the clear label "Timer."
Turning Off the Timer: A Step-by-Step Guide
Once you've located the timer button, follow these steps to deactivate the timer function on your LG air conditioner:
-
Press the Timer Button: Locate the timer button on your remote and press it. This should activate the timer setting display on the remote or air conditioner's unit display.
-
Cancel the Timer Setting: You'll need to use the button to clear or cancel the existing timer setting. This usually involves:
- Repeatedly pressing the timer button: Some models allow you to simply press the timer button multiple times to cancel the active timer.
- Using arrow buttons (up/down): Other remotes may require you to use arrow keys to navigate to the timer setting and then press a "Clear," "Cancel," or "Off" button. Refer to your remote’s manual if needed.
- Zeroing the Timer: On certain models, you can scroll the timer duration to '00' to disable the timer.
-
Verify Timer is Off: After following the steps above, double-check the remote or air conditioner display to make sure the timer symbol is no longer illuminated or the timer duration displays '00.' Your LG AC unit should now run continuously until you turn it off manually.
