[Solution]

Abnormal Conditions

● Some condensation may form on the outdoor unit's service valve.

Possible reasons for this include:

● High Humidity: During monsoon seasons or periods of increased rainfall, humidity levels tend to rise. When temperatures are low and humidity is high, water droplets may form on the service valve.

● Refrigerant Overcharge: If there is an excess of refrigerant in the system, it can lead to condensation on the service valve, causing small droplets to drip onto the ground.
