LG Mini Split H93 Error Code
Check your model first
- During test run / after install or relocation
- Models released after 2021
- During normal use
Match the model on your equipment label to the linked manufacturer documentation. The same code can mean different things across model families.
Quick answer
CH93 means a communication problem between the LG indoor and outdoor units - often during the test run, and on post-2021 models also when the outdoor unit is not receiving power. Check the outdoor unit's power cord/breaker, power-cycle once, then request service if CH93 persists.
Severity: medium · DIY difficulty: easy
Safety
Stop at the breaker power-cycle and any plug-accessible checks (filters, remote settings, visible wiring). The outdoor unit's capacitor holds a lethal charge and the refrigerant circuit is both pressurized and (on R-32 units) flammable — opening panels or servicing the sealed system is licensed-technician work (EPA 608).
What H93 means
CH93 indicates a communication problem between the indoor and outdoor units. LG notes it typically occurs during the test run when communication between the units is not stable, and that for models released after 2021 it can also appear if the outdoor unit is not receiving power - those models use a changed communication-line configuration with separate power cords for indoor and outdoor, and both units must be connected to power. It may also occur temporarily from unstable power or other electrical factors. SplitAtlas summarizes CH93 the same way.
Code meaning varies by series
- During test run / after install or relocation: Unstable communication between indoor and outdoor units at commissioning
- Models released after 2021: Can appear when the outdoor unit is not receiving power (separate power cords required)
- During normal use: Temporary communication fault from unstable power or electrical factors
First checks before service
1. One-time fault event (power disturbance or transient sensor reading) common DIY
Check: Power-cycle at the breaker/disconnect (or unplug for CPAP), restore, and run the system while watching for the code.
Fix: If the code does not return after a full run cycle, the fault was transient — monitor, no repair needed.
2. Fault persists after a clean reset occasional pro only
Check: If the code returns immediately or every session, note the conditions (startup, heating, after rain).
Fix: A persisting code points at the component the manual assigns to this code — that repair is technician territory.
