LG Corporation, also known as LG Group is a Korean-based multinational corporation that came into being under the name Lucky Goldstar. The company first took off in 1983 and got a complete revamp in 1995, changing its name to LG Corporation. Based in South Korea the corporation was founded by Koo Inhwoi, and managed by his generations to come. What started as a family business now provides energy solutions for more than 80 countries.
Today, LG offers a wide range of air conditioners that are designed keeping top-of-the-line technology and fashion-forward style in mind. Offering you everyday comfort with a simple yet powerful tool in your home or office space. With its wide range of ACs, you are sure to find one that matches your current requirements.
LG ACs are a great choice, but there are times when you may face a minor or major error code in the system. While there is no way of knowing an error may occur, all you can do is handle it in a way that works best for you. Start by noting down the error code, and match it using the list below. Once you have the error code you can easily work your way to the fix. To help you out we have listed down some of the most common error codes for LG ACs.

PTAC AC
| Error | Solution |
|---|---|
| CH 01 | Indoor Air Thermistor Error. Indoor air temperature sensor fault is occurred by indoor air temperature ≤ -35℃ or the indoor air temperature ≥ 100°C |
| CH 02 | Indoor Coil Thermistor Error. Indoor pipe temperature sensor fault is occurred by indoor pipe temperature ≤ -35℃ or the indoor pipe temperature ≥ 100°C |
| CH 07 | Themostat Wiring Error. During operating Remote mode, if PTAC receives control commands that can not be drive from Themostat, Themostat error occurred. |
| CH 09 | EEPROM Check Sum Error. EEPROM Check Sum Error is occurred by unmatching between the original checksum and the calculated checksum. |
| CH 10 | Indoor Fan Error. Indoor fan lock error is occurred by no feedback signal from Hall sensor located BLDC Motor in 50 seconds delay time or feedback signal lower than 50RPM. (Applied in model using BLDC Motor) |
| CH 34 | High Pressure Switch Error. If opening high pressure switch for 65 miliseconds is generated more than 10 times in 1 hour, High Pressure Switch Error occurred. |
| CH 44 | Outdoor Air Thermistor Error (PTHP Only). Outdoor air temperature sensor fault is occurred by outdoor air temperature ≤ -35℃ or the indoor air temperature ≥ 100°C |
| CH 45 | Outdoor Coil Thermistor Error (PTHP Only). Outdoor pipe temperature sensor fault is occurred by outdoor pipe temperature ≤ -35℃ or the outdoor pipe temperature ≥ 100°C |
| CH 67 | Outdoor Fan Error. Outdoor fan lock error is occurred by no feedback signal from Hall sensor located BLDC Motor in 50 seconds delay time or feedback signal lower than 50RPM. (Applied in model using BLDC Motor) |
Portable AC Codes
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of a defect in workmanship or materials.
- FL: The water collection tank is full : Empty the water collection tank. See the care and Cleaning section.
- E1: Short or open circuit in the indoor air thermostat : Unplug the air conditioner and contact your authorized LG service center.
- E2: Short or open circuit in the indoor pipe thermostat : Unplug the air conditioner and contact your authorized LG service center.

i have an LG split type wall mounted inverter unit after switching on the unit the flap will open indoor motor doesnt work and the indicator light (skin care) will light.
Thank you.
Getting a 38 error on Inverter V .
Can you tell me what this means?
What is CH error?
ch error; a reminder to clean the air conditioner’s filter.
Single zone inverter Model LS120HSV4 with fault code CH 38.
What is the problem?
Hi, You’re wellcome, thanks for asking. CH 38 error mean on LG Aircon; Gas level of the appliance is low.
