Aircon Error Codes · Singapore · Updated June 2026

LG Aircon Error Codes

LG air conditioners show fault codes on the indoor unit display or on the wired/wireless remote, almost always as “CH” codes (e.g. CH 05) that pinpoint the specific fault. Some older or RAC models show the same code in a short form such as C5 or just the number.

LG error codes explained

What each code means, the likely cause, and what to do — with the fix and typical cost.

CH 01Indoor return-air (room) temperature sensor fault — open or short circuit.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty or disconnected indoor room-temperature thermistor, or a damaged sensor wire.

What to do: Check the sensor plug is seated; otherwise a technician should test and replace the sensor.

CH 02Indoor pipe (coil) sensor or outdoor sensor fault — open or short circuit.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty or disconnected pipe/outdoor thermistor or its wiring.

What to do: Needs a technician to measure the sensor resistance and replace if out of spec.

CH 03Communication error between the wired remote and the indoor unit.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Loose/incorrect remote wiring or a wrong controller (single vs group) setting.

What to do: Power-cycle the unit; if it persists a technician should check the remote wiring and settings.

CH 04Drain-pump float switch tripped (commercial) or heat-sink sensor fault (RAC models).

Chemical wash from $110

Likely cause: High condensate level from a blocked/dirty drain, or a faulty float switch/heat-sink sensor.

What to do: Check for blocked drainage and standing water in the tray; clearing usually needs a service visit.

CH 05Communication error between the indoor and outdoor units.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty interconnecting control wiring, loose terminals, or a control PCB fault.

What to do: Turn power off and on at the isolator; if it returns a technician must check the wiring and boards.

CH 06Indoor unit coil (evaporator pipe) sensor fault.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty or disconnected indoor coil thermistor or its wiring.

What to do: Needs a technician to test and replace the coil sensor.

CH 07Single split: compressor over-current. Multi-split: an indoor unit set to a different mode from the master.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Compressor overload, or mismatched cooling/heating modes across indoor units on a multi-split.

What to do: On a multi-split, set all indoor units to the same mode; compressor over-current needs a technician.

CH 08Indoor BLDC fan motor problem — typically the indoor fan locked or not turning.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Seized or faulty indoor fan motor, an obstruction, or a control PCB fault.

What to do: Check nothing is jamming the fan; a locked or non-running fan motor needs a technician.

CH 09Outdoor unit fan problem (or, on Multi V, an indoor PCB failure).

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Seized or faulty outdoor fan motor, loose connection, or a faulty PCB.

What to do: Requires a technician to test the outdoor fan motor and PCB.

CH 10Compressor discharge temperature sensor fault.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty or disconnected compressor discharge thermistor.

What to do: Needs a technician to test and replace the discharge sensor.

CH 21Inverter compressor run current too high (DC peak / over-current).

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty compressor windings, an inverter PCB/IPM fault, or abnormal load on the compressor.

What to do: Requires a technician to test the compressor and inverter board.

CH 22Inverter compressor over-current (high run current).

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Compressor electrical fault, inverter PCB fault, or abnormal operating conditions.

What to do: Requires a technician to test the compressor windings, insulation, and run current.

CH 23Inverter DC link voltage too low.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Low/unstable supply voltage, failed capacitors, or an inverter PCB fault.

What to do: Requires a technician to check the supply voltage and inverter board.

CH 24High- or low-pressure trip (low around 1 bar, high around 35 bar).

Gas top-up from $80

Likely cause: Low/leaking refrigerant, blocked airflow or dirty coils raising pressure, or closed service valves.

What to do: A technician must check system pressures; a low-pressure trip usually means low or leaking refrigerant.

CH 26Inverter compressor seized / start failure.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Mechanically seized compressor or a compressor/inverter electrical fault.

What to do: Requires a technician to test the compressor windings, insulation, and inverter outputs.

CH 27Inverter current irregularity (PSC/reactor circuit fault).

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Faulty inverter PCB or reactor.

What to do: Requires a technician to inspect the inverter PCB and reactor.

CH 28Inverter DC link voltage too high.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: High/unstable supply voltage, failed capacitors, or an inverter PCB fault.

What to do: Requires a technician to check the supply voltage and inverter board.

CH 32Inverter compressor discharge temperature too high (over ~105°C).

Gas top-up from $80

Likely cause: Low refrigerant charge, restricted airflow, or an overworked compressor.

What to do: A technician should check the refrigerant charge and airflow; often indicates low refrigerant.

CH 60Outdoor unit PCB EEPROM failure.

Aircon repair from $50

Likely cause: Corrupted or faulty EEPROM/main control board.

What to do: Requires a technician to reseat or replace the outdoor PCB.

CH 61Condenser coil overheating (outdoor coil over ~65°C).

Chemical wash from $110

Likely cause: Dirty/blocked outdoor coil or filters, poor airflow, or non-condensables in the system.

What to do: Check the outdoor coil is clean and unobstructed; a wash and pressure check usually needs a technician.
