lg | air-conditioner Error Codes: Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.
What Does CH65 Mean?❓
CH65 means that the air conditioner cannot accurately read the temperature of the heat sink due to a faulty thermistor (temperature sensor). This prevents proper regulation of inverter performance and could lead to overheating if not addressed.
air-conditioner - Causes of CH65 Error
- Faulty heat sink thermistor sensor
- Loose or disconnected sensor wires
- Corroded or damaged sensor terminals
- Malfunctioning main control or inverter board
- Overheating due to dust buildup on the heat sink
air-conditioner - How to Fix CH65 Error❓
Turn Off the System
- Shut off power to the AC from the breaker.
- Wait a few minutes before accessing components.
Inspect the Heat Sink Thermistor
- Open the outdoor unit and locate the heat sink.
- Check the sensor attached to it for visible damage or corrosion.
Reconnect or Replace Sensor
- Tighten any loose wires or connectors.
- If the sensor shows incorrect resistance, replace it.
Clean the Heat Sink
- Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust buildup.
- Ensure the heat sink has proper ventilation.
Consult a Technician
- If issue persists, the inverter or main PCB may need professional diagnosis.
air-conditioner - Helpful Tips
- Do not operate the unit when this error appears to avoid damage.
- Keep outdoor units clean and dust-free.
- Schedule preventive maintenance twice a year.
- Ensure proper airflow and no obstruction near the unit.
- Use surge protectors to avoid PCB-related failures.
Frequently Asked Questions❓
- Question: Is CH65 a serious error?
- Answer: Yes. It affects the system’s cooling regulation and can damage components if ignored.
- Question: Can I clean the sensor myself?
- Answer: You can clean around it, but replacement or rewiring should be done by a technician.
- Question: Will resetting the AC fix CH65?
- Answer: Sometimes. But if the sensor is faulty, it needs replacement.
