LG Air Conditioner Error Code
In some cases, the error code may not be displayed on the indoor unit or remote control. The optimal way to check for errors is the outdoor unit’s LED. Make sure to inspect the following as basic items for service checks:
- Circuit Breaker: Ensure the circuit breaker is in the correct position and not tripped.
- Power Line: Check the power line for any damage or loose connections.
- Power Supply: Verify the power supply is within the acceptable voltage range.
- Single-phase products should have a 220 volt ±10% voltage when the LN phase is measured.
- Three-phase products should have a 380 volt ±10% voltage when two phases are measured, excluding the end phase, or a 220 volt ±10% voltage when an R phase is measured with the end phase.
If the troubleshooting steps for your LG remote or air conditioner do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact LG’s customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance.
