What Does CH21 Error Mean?❓

The CH21 error means that the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) has detected an abnormal DC voltage peak, indicating a fault in the compressor inverter system. This protects your AC by shutting it down to prevent damage.

air-conditioner - What Causes the CH21 Error?

  • Overcurrent in compressor phases (U, V, W)
  • Poor insulation or short circuit in compressor windings
  • Overload due to refrigerant overcharge or improper piping
  • Faulty inverter PCB or damaged IPM module
  • Loose or damaged wiring connections

air-conditioner - How to Fix CH21 Error❓

  • Power Cycle the AC

    1. Turn off the air conditioner and unplug it from power for at least 5 minutes.
    2. Restart the unit to reset the error.

  • Inspect Compressor

    1. Check for overheating, unusual noises, or visible damage.
    2. If damaged, replace the compressor.

  • Check Inverter PCB and IPM Module

    1. Look for burnt or damaged components on the PCB.
    2. Replace the IPM module if faulty.

  • Verify Refrigerant Levels

    1. Ensure refrigerant charge is within manufacturer specifications.
    2. Avoid overcharging or undercharging.

  • Inspect Wiring Connections

    1. Tighten any loose wires and repair damaged cables.

  • Consult Professional Technician

    1. If the error persists, contact an authorized service technician for advanced diagnostics and repairs.

air-conditioner - Helpful Tips to Prevent CH21 Error

  • Perform regular maintenance and inspection of inverter PCB and compressor.
  • Avoid refrigerant overcharge to prevent overload.
  • Ensure proper wiring and electrical connections.
  • Schedule annual servicing by qualified technicians.
  • Do not attempt repairs on electrical components without proper training.
