Troubleshooting and Manuals.
If there is a fault on any LG Universal Unit, a two digit number will appear on the remote controllers led display. If the unit does not have a remote controller the fault will be displayed using the LED’s on the front of the indoor unit.
The “Units” digit of the fault code is shown by the power led which has the following symbol by it. This is usually Red, but on a few models it is Green.
The “Tens” digit will be displayed by one other led, usually the “Sleep” or “Filter” lamp.
Error Indicator:
The function provides self-diagnosis and displays an error code if there is any trouble.
Error codes are displayed on the Indoor unit’s Wired Remote as CH**, and/or Fascia Display. In addition, the code is indicated via LED’s on the outdoor unit control board.
If more than two troubles occur simultaneously, the lower number of error code is displayed first.
After an error occurs, if error is released, error LED is also released simultaneously.

LG Portable AC Cleaning The Air Filter
LG Portable AC Emptying The Water Collection Tank (FL Error Solution)
When the internal water collection tank is full, FL will appear in the display and the air conditioner will turn off untill the tank is emptied.
LG AC Troubleshooting
The air conditioner may be operating abnormally when:
Problem: Air conditioner does not start
Possible Causes:
The air conditioner is unplugged.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.
Power failure.
High voltage.
What To Do:
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to OFF. When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload.
If the voltage is unusually very high or low the circuit Breaker will trip.
Problem: Air conditioner does not cool as it should
Possible Causes:
Airflow is restricted.
The air filter is dirty.
The room may have been hot.
Cold air is escaping.
Check the temperature settings.
There might be any heating source in the room.
What To Do:
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. See the Maintenance and Service section.
When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
Make sure they are correct.
Check and remove such source or turn it off while using the air conditioner.
Call the service immediately in the following situations
Anything abnormal such as burning smell, loud noise etc. happen. Stop the unit and turn the breaker off. Never try to repair by yourself or restart the system in such cases.
Main power cord is too hot or damaged.
Error code is generated by self diagnosis.
Water leaks from indoor unit even if the humidity is low.
Any switch, breaker (safety, earth) or fuse fails to work properly
