LG Therma V fault CH54

RST reverse phase detection error

Heat pump

What it means

Wiring fault occurred due to reverse phase detection (only applicable to 3-phase models). This protection prevents phase unbalance and reverse rotation of the constant-rate compressor.

Likely causes

  1. Reverse phase wiring
  2. Phase unbalance
  3. N-phase fault
  4. Power phase loss
  5. Open phase condition
  6. Fuse damage (R and S phases)

Where to start

  1. Check installation wiring.
  2. Check N-phase (refer to section 3.17.1).
  3. Check for power phase loss (refer to section 3.17.2).

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.

From the LG manual for the Therma V. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
