What Does CH72 Mean?

CH72 indicates that the 4-way valve (also called a reversing valve) is unable to shift positions. This prevents the AC from changing between cooling and heating modes. It may be caused by a mechanical jam, solenoid coil failure, or electrical issue in the control signal.

air-conditioner - Causes of CH72 Error

  • Faulty 4-way valve solenoid coil
  • Debris or mechanical obstruction in the valve
  • Incorrect refrigerant pressure preventing valve shift
  • Defective control board not sending the switch signal
  • Poor contact or damaged wiring in solenoid circuit

air-conditioner - How to Fix CH72 Error

  • Reset the Unit

    1. Turn off the main power supply to the AC unit.
    2. Wait 10 minutes, then power it back on.
  • Inspect the 4-Way Valve

    1. Check if the valve is physically jammed.
    2. Clean around it if debris is visible.
  • Check the Solenoid Coil

    1. Use a multimeter to test continuity.
    2. Replace the coil if it’s open or shorted.
  • Inspect Control Board Signals

    1. Ensure the control board is sending the correct signal to switch modes.
    2. Replace the board if the output is faulty.
  • Verify Refrigerant Pressure

    1. Call a technician to check system pressures.
    2. Fix leaks or recharge refrigerant if needed.

air-conditioner - Helpful Tips

  • Avoid frequently switching between modes, especially in short intervals.
  • Keep outdoor unit clean to prevent dust build-up on mechanical parts.
  • Ensure proper voltage supply to prevent solenoid malfunction.
  • Have a technician check the refrigerant annually.
  • Use original replacement parts for solenoids or valve components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can I still use the AC if CH72 appears?
Answer: No. The unit may be stuck in one mode and fail to operate correctly.
Question: Is the 4-way valve expensive to replace?
Answer: It depends on your unit, but parts and labor can cost ₹2000–₹5000.
Question: What happens if I ignore CH72?
Answer: The AC may continue to run inefficiently or fail to switch modes, causing poor comfort and potential compressor strain.
