What it means

CH 66 is an inverter-model protection that LG says can detect communication trouble and piping-connection abnormalities between the indoor and outdoor units. It is especially important after new installation or relocation.

Urgency

advisory

If this appears right after installation, call the installer. During normal use, try only one safe reset.

Likely causes

  1. Communication line connection issue between indoor and outdoor units
  2. Piping connection issue between indoor and outdoor units
  3. Miswiring or loose communication-line connection after installation
  4. Temporary fault from unstable power or other electrical factors

Homeowner fix

If CH 66 appeared right after installation or relocation, do not keep trying to run the system; call the installer. During normal use, power cycle once at the breaker if you can do that safely.

When to call a pro

Call a licensed HVAC technician if CH 66 returns or appears after installation. Tell them LG identifies CH 66 as communication-line or piping-connection abnormality.

Repair vs replace

Installation and communication faults are usually repairable. Replacement is only worth comparing if diagnosis finds major board or sealed-system damage on older equipment.
