Bill Poster Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have had installed a new Samsung air conditioner unit in my bedroom. This is the first ever air conditioner unit I have owned. The air conditioner compressor unit has been installed high up on an outside house wall well away from my bedroom window . When I’m laying in bed while the air conditioner unit is running I can just about hear the fan and feel the cold air flow and a digital display shows the bedroom temperature . But also while laying in bed I don't know if the outside compressor unit is running or not , ( and I don't really want to hear it ) It would be interesting to be able to know if and when the outside compressor unit is actually running , may be via the digital display . Is there a way to see / know when the outside compressor unit is actually running . I have looked through the operating booklet that came with the Samsung air conditioner and cannot find any option to be able to see when the outside compressor unit is actually running. Any suggestions / advice / most welcome ???? https://www.samsung.com/th/air-conditioners/wall-mount/f-ar13tyhzcwkn/ ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It’s almost certainly an inverter so the outside fan will be running when the inside unit is on. But it’s speed will vary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 If it's blowing cool air it is working, if it's blowing warm air it is not working. That you can't hear it is a plus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the fan will do that. That the fan will always run when the compressor is running is another matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 The compressor is always on. That's how inverter air-conditioners work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
