OK, this isn't a "repair" question, and I guess I don't *need* to know, but this crowd is better qualified to give me a meaningful answer than the LG support gang.

Like many models, my window AC has a "dry mode", which the literature claims will dehumidify, without cooling the room.

That's perfectly clear, and a fine concept. But HOW does it do this? All dehumidifiers and ACs blow the room's air across a cool evaporator coil. A dedicated dehumidifier ALSO blows the warm air (from the condenser coil) into the room. Right?

But my window AC can't change its basic configuration, can it?

So my question: just what does the "dry mode" ACTUALLY do differently, internally? (LG will only tell me what it *promises* to do.)

Thanks!

I just realized that I never thanked you for your answer, Sublime One. It really had bugged me, and (yes) I am amazed by the simplicity of the feature.

And also by the ironic fact that I had thought (and LG implies) that maybe the "dry" setting saved energy, as after I don't NEED to cool if I'm using that mode. But of course I'm both cooling AND heating. What a loss.

Thanks again!
