[LG Air Conditioner Power] Power not turned on

Troubleshooting

Causes and Symptoms

  • The power cord is loosely plugged in.
  • A power strip is being used.
  • It is necessary to check the remote control of the air conditioner.

Air conditioners are electrical appliances that consume a lot of power.
Use an exclusive circuit breaker for the air conditioner and connect the product to a dedicated wall outlet.
If a power strip must be used due to the installation environment, use a 16 or higher amps power strip with a cable thickness between 2~2.5mm. (0.07~0.1 in) The air conditioner must be used alone.

Try this

If the power cord is loosely plugged in, the power cord may overheat or the power may be turned off.

➔ Unplug the power cord, and cool heat for approximately 30 minutes. Then, correctly plug the code in to start the product again.

Remove the cord, cool it for about 30 minutes, plug it in correctly and work again.

If your product is a model with the hidden power cord, check the dedicated circuit breaker for the air conditioner.

The dedicated circuit breaker for an air conditioner is adjacent to the shoe chest on the front door of your house, and the circuit breaker is marked with Air Conditioner, or A/C.
Trip the circuit breaker, and then reset it.

It is preferable that a power strip is not used and that the air conditioner is connected to an exclusive power outlet on the wall.

Connect to a wall outlet without using a socket

If a power strip must be used due to the installation environment, use a 16 or higher amps power strip with a cable thickness between 2~2.5mm(0.07~0.1 in). The air conditioner must be used alone.

Warning!

A multi strip cannot be used for stand type air conditioners.
There is a risk of fire even if it is used alone due to the maximum current drawn by the single stand type air conditioner.

How to check capacity of power strip

Maximum capacity: 16A x 250V = 4000W
Optimum capacity: 80% of maximum capacity or lower [16A x 250V x 0.8 = 3200W or lower]
※ Recommended maximum current of air conditioner of capacity of 16A [250V]
The recommended maximum current of air conditioner of capacity is between 16A and 20A depending on floor size when using power strip. Power may be turned off when plugging other electric apparatus in the same power strip, or outdoor unit overheats due to intense heat.
Note
Separating and storing batteries separately when you do not use the remote control for a long period of time can prevent the batteries from discharging and causing a remote control failure.
* If the remote control is not used for a long period of time with the batteries inserted, battery fluid may leak and cause a remote control failure.
Remove battery from remote control
