Outdoor unit not powered or not responding. What it means, which models show it, and how to clear it, easiest fix first.

LGAll LG air conditioner codes

CH93
Moderate DIY

The indoor and outdoor units are not communicating, often during the first test run after installation. LG notes that on some newer models (it says those made after 2021) each unit has its own power supply, so the code can simply mean the outdoor unit isn't getting power.

Compatible models

LG doesn't publish a model list for this code; it appears on LG air conditioners with a digital display. Check your owner's manual.

Also shown as

LG lists CH237 and CH247 as related codes meaning the outdoor unit isn't receiving power. CH66, CH90, CH91 and CH92 are separate installation and test-run codes that point to wiring or refrigerant-flow problems from installation and should go back to the installer. LG says its error-code guide covers all models, so the exact code and its meaning can differ on yours; check your owner's manual.

Difficulty

Start with the safe checks below; a worn part may need replacing.

Safety first: unplug the air conditioner (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix LG CH93

  1. Check the outdoor unit's breaker

    Make sure the breaker for the outdoor unit is on. If it trips again right away, leave it off and don't keep resetting it.

  2. Check plug-in models

    If your outdoor unit has a power cord, make sure it's pushed fully into a wall outlet. Don't run it from a power strip or share the outlet with other high-draw appliances.

  3. Reset the power at the breaker

    Switch off the breaker that feeds the air conditioner (some systems have separate breakers for the indoor and outdoor units, so switch off both). Wait about five minutes, switch the power back on and restart the unit to see if the code clears.

When to call a technician

If a breaker keeps tripping, or the code persists with power confirmed at both units, book a technician. If the system is newly installed, call the installer first.
