LG KNSLB301A Single Zone Multi-Position Air Handler Indoor Unit with 30000 BTU Cooling Capacity and 34000 BTU Heating Capacity in Black

LG's devotion to providing efficient ductless solutions can be seen across their entire catalog. The multi-position air handler unit can be installed with nearly any pre-existing duct work. LG's air handlers are designed to provide powerful heating and cooling for the larger rooms in your home. Capable of managing high air speeds and volumes effortlessly, the air handler is an impressive solution to your home's heating and cooling needs.

Enhanced Connectivity

LG's new R-32 mini split units require a 5-conductor cable (Not Included) instead of the standard 4-conductor, improving communication reliability and enabling a new leak detection feature.

Quiet Design

The unit  can operate at volumes as low as 35 dB thanks to its advanced fan motor. The brushless direct current motor reduces electrical and mechanical sound while providing powerful air movement.

Automated Operation

Auto operation mode continually compares your zone's current and desired temperatures and uses that data to intelligently adjust the unit's fan speed and refrigerant flow to provide optimal comfort.

Sleep Mode

With the Sleep Mode and Timer functions, you can set this indoor unit to save energy at night. Sleep Mode will incrementally adjust temperature for an hour before the Timer function automatically deactivates the unit.

Dehumidify

LG's indoor units include a dehumidifying operation mode. In this mode, the unit's internal sensors monitor temperature and modify the set point and fan speed to remove moisture from the air.

Hot-Start

When the Hot-Start function is enabled, the unit's fan will not engage until the outdoor condenser has had the opportunity to warm the indoor coil. This prevents the unit from blowing cold air during heating operations.

Multi-Position

The air handler can be installed in either a vertical or a horizontal orientation, making it a versatile solution for all manners of duct systems.

• Timer Function: A built-in timer allows you to schedule operation times, helping reduce energy consumption by running the unit only when needed.
• Automatic Operation: By continuously monitoring your current and desired temperatures, the system automatically adjusts fan speed and refrigerant flow to maintain consistent comfort.
• Dehumidification Mode: Using internal sensors, the unit can adjust its operation to effectively remove moisture from the air, improving indoor air quality and comfort.

• Hot-Start Function: To prevent blasts of cold air, the fan remains off during heating until the indoor coil reaches the proper temperature, ensuring a warm start every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is my air handler not turning on?

A: There are several possible reasons:

• Check the circuit breaker — it may have tripped. If it trips again after resetting, a system issue likely requires professional attention.
• Verify the thermostat — make sure it’s working properly and set to the desired heating or cooling mode.
• Inspect the blower motor and capacitor — a failure in either component can prevent the unit from starting.

Q: Why is there low or no airflow from my air handler?

A: Common causes include:

• Clogged or dirty air filter — this restricts airflow and should be replaced regularly (every 1–3 months).
• Frozen evaporator coil — turn off the system and allow the coil to thaw. If the issue continues, call a technician.
• Blower motor or limit switch problems — either can reduce or stop airflow and may require repair or replacement.

Q: Why is my air handler making strange noises?

A: Unusual sounds can signal mechanical issues:

• Rattling, buzzing, or squealing may indicate a loose or failing component.
• Squealing or grinding often points to a worn blower motor bearing.
• Persistent or loud noises should be inspected by a professional.

Q: Why is my air handler freezing up or leaking water?

A: This could be due to:

• Dirty air filters, which reduce airflow and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze.
• Clogged condensate drain lines, leading to water backup. Try pouring a ¼ cup of bleach or vinegar down the line to clear minor clogs.
• If freezing or leaking continues, contact a professional for service.

Q: How often should I change the air filter?

A: Check the filter monthly and replace it at least every 3 months. If you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area, more frequent replacement may be necessary.

Q: Why is professional maintenance important for my air handler?

A: Regular maintenance helps to:

• Improve energy efficiency
• Prevent premature breakdowns
• Catch small issues before they become costly repairs
• Scheduling annual service with a qualified HVAC technician is highly recommended.
