Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always turn off the main breaker before removing covers or touching wiring.
Steps:
- Check breaker: Locate the dedicated breaker for the air conditioner and reset it if tripped. If it trips again immediately, leave it off and call a technician.
- Verify outlet or supply: For window or portable LG units, test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm power.
- Inspect indoor unit wiring: Remove the indoor front cover and access the terminal block. Look for loose screws, burned insulation, or disconnected wires. Tighten loose terminals with power OFF.
- Check internal fuse: Many LG indoor PCBs have a small glass or cartridge fuse. If visibly blown, replace with the exact same rating. If it blows again, stop and call a technician.
Technician recommended: If power is present at the terminal block but the unit remains dead, the indoor PCB or power supply module likely needs replacement.
