A:AnswerThank you for raising your concern regarding LG Air Conditioner (LP1419IVSM) model. No, I would not recommend storing the LG LP1419IVSM portable air conditioner on its side or upside down, as that could potentially damage the internal components. The unit should be stored in an upright position. If problem persist, please reach out to us on social media @LGUSSupport so we can help you further. ^Cris
A:AnswerHi there James! Thanks for reaching out. For the LG - Smart Portable Air Conditioner Model: P1419IVSM The window installation kit allows you to install the air conditioner in most vertical-sliding windows 23” to 60” wide, or horizontal-sliding windows from 23” to 60” high. For longer window openings, assemble and adjust the panels to fit the window opening. Use Mounting plate screws (included) to fix the panels together at the proper length. For best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible. However, shape the diffuser end of the vent hose into
an inverted U shape just inside the window to allow any rain or condensation to drain out the window. Has a 5" Diameter. `Jai.
A:AnswerHi there. Thanks for reaching out. During Cool or Fan Mode (in low humidity), there should be no need for drainage. The air conditioner is designed to operate with some moisture in the collection tank to help increase its efficiency. `Jai.

A:AnswerPortable ACs are sealed systems and don’t require refrigerant refills under normal conditions. However, if your unit is not cooling effectively, and it indicates a refrigerant leak after checking, you’ll need a licensed HVAC professional to recharge it.
While some portable air conditioners will have an option to be recharged, it is not advisable to do so.
You are not allowed to purchase a refrigerant as it is a controlled product – only certified technicians under section 608 can buy it.
The LG 14,000 BTU Smart Portable Air Conditioner - White, Model # LP1419IVSM, does not have a service valve for adding refrigerant.
In the United States, refrigerant leaks in portable ACs must be repaired if they are discovered. If the leak is not repaired, the portable AC must be retired from use. Portable ACs are hermetically sealed from the factory, which means that under normal operating conditions, they will not “use up” refrigerant.
The only time that an AC will lose refrigerant is if it has a leak.
If your AC has a refrigerant leak, then the leak will need to be repaired before recharging it.
Refrigerant leak repairs on portable ACs must be performed by a licensed technician.
The licensed technician will locate and repair the leak if it is small enough to patch...^Ivan.
A:AnswerWe do not make kits for vertical-sliding doors for the LG 14, 000 BTU Smart Portable Air Conditioner - White, Model # LP1419IVSM.
The standard height of sliding doors is 80 inches tall, and the window installation kit that consists of a window vent panel and extension panels for this unit can be adjusted to fit in in horizontal-sliding windows 60 inches high so you could purchase another 23" extension panel if you can secure it in your vertical-sliding door...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHi there, Aktrom. Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us. We understand your inquiry about your LG LP1419IVSM portable air conditioner’s condensate handling. This model features a self-evaporating design—most of the moisture the unit collects is sent back into the hot-air exhaust and discharged out the 6″ exhaust hose you’ve routed through your window. In typical cooling mode, you won’t need to empty any tray or receptacle.
However, if you’re operating in very high humidity or in “Dry” mode for extended periods, the internal condensate reservoir can fill up. In that case, simply:
Turn off and unplug the unit.
Locate the small drain plug on the back near the bottom.
Remove the plug and allow any collected water to flow into a shallow pan or bucket.
Replace the plug securely before restarting the AC.

A:AnswerThe LG 10,000 BTU (SACC) / 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) DUAL Inverter Smart Wi-Fi Portable Air Conditioner, Model # LP1419IVSM does not have an Energy Saver mode where the fan and the compressor turn off when the air conditioner reaches the set temperature and then have the fan turn on approximately every three minutes to allow a sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHello there. Thank you for sharing your inquiry about your LP1419IVSM portable air conditioner. We understand your situation and appreciate your interest in ensuring the optimal installation of your unit.
Yes, you can use a longer exhaust hose than the one it comes with, provided that the extended hose matches the necessary specifications to maintain effective performance. Typically, the exhaust hose is designed with a standard diameter—usually around 5 inches—to ensure proper airflow and efficient operation. For any replacement or extension, we recommend using a hose that has the same diameter as the original. Regarding the hose itself, it is designed to be user-friendly and easy to remove.
As a troubleshooting tip, if you decide to use a longer hose, please make sure that the hose is installed with minimal bends or kinks to avoid any restrictions in the airflow, which is crucial for maintaining the unit's cooling efficiency.

A:AnswerHello, BB.
The LG 10,000 BTU (SACC) / 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) DUAL Inverter Smart Wi-Fi Portable Air Conditioner, Model # LP1419IVSM must be plugged into a dedicated, standard 120V , 3-wire
grounding receptacle rated 15A / 120 VAC / 60 Hz, protected by a 15 A, time delay fuse or 15 A,
circuit breaker.
Common causes of a fuse for a portable air conditioner tripping or blowing include an overloaded circuit due to multiple appliances or devices being plugged into a socket that shares the same circuit as the socket you are plugging the portable air conditioner to.
When multiple appliances or devices are connected to the same circuit, the total power draw can exceed the circuit’s capacity. This can cause the circuit breaker or fuse to trip, cutting off power to the entire circuit.
A dedicated circuit is an electrical circuit designed to transmit an electrical current to one major appliance. It is different from a shared circuit, which splits electrical currents into multiple loads. A dedicated circuit is set aside with a specific purpose and has its own circuit breaker in your electrical box. It is intended for use with a single appliance or outlet. Dedicated circuits ensure proper electrical demands are met and prevent safety hazards.
If the fuses in your circuit are too small, they will blow prematurely even when the air conditioner is operating normally.
Damaged or loose wiring can create a short circuit, which can trip the fuses and can create electrical resistance, leading to excessive heat buildup. This can cause the fuse to blow as a safety measure to prevent electrical fires...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHello, Carri.
The LG 10,000 BTU (SACC) / 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) DUAL Inverter Smart Wi-Fi Portable Air Conditioner, Model # LP1419IVSM has to be vented to the outside to cool the room it is installed in so it requires a window.
Portable air conditioners efficiently cool down specific rooms by extracting heat and moisture from the air, thus necessitating the expulsion of that hot air to maintain optimal functioning. This is why venting through a window is crucial for these units.
Venting hot air outside not only enhances the cooling performance but also significantly improves energy efficiency. Without a proper venting system, the air conditioner will merely circulate warm air back into the room, leading to increased energy consumption and potential discomfort.
A flexible exhaust hose and a window installation kit are included accessories with the air conditioner.
The length of the exhaust hose is built to the product's specifications and cannot be extended, modified or replaced with your own longer hose.
After installation, the Hose length is approximately 35.5" or less for best performance. It should not be extended beyond this length as it can cause back pressure resulting in stress to the compressor. This could cause a loss in efficiency, and possibly compressor failure...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHi there, Carri. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your LG LP1419IVSM portable air conditioner. We understand your situation and are here to help. Based on our official LG resources, this model is designed solely for cooling and dehumidification and does not include a heating function. As a troubleshooting step, please double-check that your unit is set to the proper cooling mode on your remote control to ensure it’s operating as expected.

A:AnswerThere is a cap that you unscrew on the back/bottom of the unit that lets the condensate drain out, though it sounds like it doesn't need to be drained often.
