midea | air-conditioner Error Codes: Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.
What Does CH37 Mean?❓
CH37 means that the compressor is working under extreme pressure conditions — either due to blockage in the refrigerant cycle, overcharging, or sensor failure. This causes an unsafe compression ratio, triggering a safety shutdown to prevent damage.
air-conditioner - Causes of CH37 Error
- Refrigerant overcharge or incorrect type used
- Clogged expansion valve or capillary tube
- Blocked refrigerant filter or pipes
- Faulty high or low pressure sensor
- Restricted airflow over indoor or outdoor coils
air-conditioner - How to Fix CH37 Error❓
Check Refrigerant Levels
- Use proper gauges to check refrigerant pressure.
- Recover or recharge refrigerant as per manufacturer specs.
Inspect for Blockages
- Check expansion valves, filters, and pipes for clogs.
- Clean or replace components as needed.
Verify Pressure Sensors
- Use multimeter or diagnostic tools to test pressure sensors.
- Replace any faulty sensors.
Improve Airflow
- Clean coils, filters, and ensure proper fan operation.
- Clear any obstructions around outdoor unit.
Test Post-Repair
- Monitor system after fix to ensure pressure levels are normal.
air-conditioner - Helpful Tips
- Do not continue using the AC with this error—it may harm the compressor.
- Always get refrigerant handled by certified technicians.
- Clean filters and coils regularly to reduce strain.
- Avoid setting temperatures extremely low in very hot weather.
- Schedule preventive maintenance before peak seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions❓
- Question: Can I fix CH37 error by restarting the AC?
- Answer: Temporarily, maybe. But the root issue must be diagnosed and fixed.
- Question: Does CH37 damage the AC?
- Answer: If ignored, it can cause compressor failure or refrigerant system damage.
- Question: Is this a common error in LG inverter ACs?
- Answer: It’s not common, but can occur due to refrigerant handling issues or airflow blockages.
