How do you drain water from a LP1010snr air conditioner?

I plugged in my air conditioner and the code P2 keeps flashing and no air is coming out. I looked up P2 and it means it water detection and I'm suppose to drain out the water. How do I do that? Where is the water?

P2 means the water collection tank is full and needs to be drained. You have to pull the drain plug at the bottom of the unit and drain the water.
Drain the water (small amount actually) in the shower. Note: There is a cap towards the bottom of the unit that you will need to unscrew, then pull out the rubber plug. Fired up the unit after the water drain ... it worked fine.

Testimonial: "I did that and let it run for a few minutes and it did work. It's been cool out ever since so when I give a full days worth I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks. :)"

Leave it alone. DO NOT attempt to create a drain. As long as a window A/C unit is installed properly, (angled slightly down toward the rear) it will drain excess water over the rear lower lip of the unit should it get that high. Many models use some of the collected water/condensation. It gets lifted up by the fan blades to cool the coil.

If the drip line is raised too high, sometimes the level inside will exceed the trip-point for the pan-level.

Try lowering the drip line so the water runs 'downhill' the whole way. If it still occurs, the sensor in the pan may be stuck.

The P2 Code you're getting is for a system failure. More than likely a sensor has failed In which case, you should contact LG's Customer Interactive Center at 800-243-0000, as it "may" be covered under Warranty.

Super General Split Air Conditioner 2. How to fix Super General Inverter A/C with P2 error code please?

Question edited for clarity.

How do I fix P2 error in AC?
If the P2 or FL error code is displaying on the air conditioner, remove the drain port cap and tilt the air conditioner to the back so the water runs out of the drain outlet. If no water is draining out when the air conditioner is tilted to the back, the unit will require a repair service.

Hi I HAVE A DIMPLEX AIR-CON It was already here when I moved into this house but lately after it been for on about 5 mins it stops and it display a code of P2. I dont know how to get hold of a manual...

If your model is a portable AC unit, the P2 indicates that water needs to be drained from the tank.
Turn the unit OFF and unplug it, before draining the water from the lower tank into a shallow sided pan capable of holding at least 1 quart of water. Once it has completely drained, reinsert the drain plug, plug the unit in and turn it ON. The P2 Error Code should have disappeared. If not, press the ON/OFF button twice.

I hope this helped you.

We have the portable air condioner model LP1010snr and we have drained the tanks and still have the P2 warning. It will not start working. what can we do?

Turn the Master ON/Off Switch to OFF and unplug the unit for 15 minutes. Then plug the unit back in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Hopefully, during that 15 minute timeout, the electronics reset and reverted back to the original factory settings.

Hope this helped you solve the problem.

I purchased and LG Model# LP1010SNR on 8-3-10 at Home Depot. It was a floor model and did not come with an owners manual. It has a digital display screen. It is intended to run for several hours at a time...

What happens on this unit is it will suddenly stop followed by a series of chimes. You can reset the unit, but it will end with the same set of chimes. My unit display had a P2 code. As mentioned above, I drained the water (small amount actually) in the shower. Note: There is a cap towards tha bottom of the unit that you will need to unscrew, then pull out the rubber plug. Fired up the unit after the water drain ... it worked fine. If they can make a GI Joe talk ... why can this unit simply say ... "Please Drain". P2 is so intuitive.

The directions have the steps to take when a "P1" error is flashing.

1) Remove the plug (the upper black plug not the lower) and attach the included drain hose.
2) Put a bucket under the hose.
3) Press the TURBO button for MORE THAN THREE SECONDS. The WATER INDICATOR will begin flashing telling the user that the FORCED WATER DRAINAGE feature is activated. You will even hear a little whirring noise.
4) Wait until the WATER INDICATOR stops flashing and no more water is flowing out of the drainage tube.
5) After the water is finished flowing, make sure that you FASTEN the DRAIN PLUG. Of course, failure to do this will flood the area.
6) The unit should now work.

You can also move the unit somewhere that you can remove the plug and let the water flow freely (you do not need to have it plugged in for this method) and once the water is finished, replace the plug and fire it up. It should then work correctly. It's also mentioned that the water should be drained quite often to prevent corrosion. I do it every few months and of course when winter approaches.

I like this air conditioner and have had really nice luck with it. A little loud but who cares. That's why there are SUBTITLES on the television.

Hope this helped.
