    Hi.
    Are you sure it was from the condensate drain?
    Maybe some oil accumulated in the evaporator and the evaporation of the refrigerant caused this sound?
    The explanation is this: the refrigerant migrates from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit because the outside temperature is lower and therefore the pressure is lower.

    Added after 1 [minute]:

    Next time, switch to heating mode, let it work a little and see if it quiets down.
    Regards

    I had a problem when the client himself was drilling holes outside for installations. He did it "uphill", i.e. there was no big drop outside. The condensate drain was gravity, but due to the incorrect drop, when I tried to pour the tray from the bottle, a gurgling sound could be heard. It just became a little siphon. There was no problem when the air conditioning was on cooling mode and the condensate slowly drained away on its own and it did not leak even once throughout the summer. Maybe you had too much moisture because of the party. Try pouring more water into the tray. If there is bubbling, you have a condensation problem.

    The air conditioning turns on defrosting, among other things, based on the temperature of the internal unit exchanger. If it detects a significant drop in temperature, it forces a defrost cycle.
    The vaporizer does not need to be heavily killed.
    On humid days and lower temperatures, the cycles are activated more often.

    And a different question: why, for example, if I turn on the heating function and set 25 degrees, the air conditioning does not even reach that much (I check the actual temperature on the remote control) and every now and then it goes into the drying/defrosting mode and after a while it heats up again and so on, and so on. the external unit, its radiator is not frozen to the touch so that it has to defrost every now and then


    If the device is operational, it is defrosted every 45 minutes, unless the temperature in the yard is higher (+7) and the unit does not get iced up at all.

    Or maybe there is simply a temperature difference in the room, the indoor unit is probably under the ceiling, i.e. slightly higher than the remote control. LG Standard on the remote control shows the temperature read by the sensor located in the remote control, so it depends on where the remote control is located. In the heating mode, after reaching the set temperature, the LG reduces the air flow to a minimum, closes the air flap, and the defrost icon appears on the display and waits for the temperature in the room to drop.
    If you want, do a test, set the heating on the remote control to a temperature equal to or lower than the one currently in the room and turn on the device, it will work for about 5 minutes and what I am writing about above will happen.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the gurgling noise emitted by an LG Standard Split air conditioner when turned off. The user experienced this issue after a party, leading to concerns about condensate drainage. Responses suggest potential causes, including refrigerant migration due to temperature differences and improper condensate drainage slope. One user noted that excessive moisture from the party could have contributed to the bubbling sound. Additionally, the conversation touches on the air conditioner's heating function, with users discussing defrost cycles and temperature readings affected by the remote control's location. Recommendations include checking the condensate system and observing the unit's behavior in different modes.
