LG Therma V fault CH60

Outdoor EEPROM error

Heat pump

What it means

EEPROM access error and Check SUM error on the outdoor unit. Indicates the EEPROM on the Main PCB (Outdoor Inv) or Inv PCB (Outdoor) cannot be read correctly or data integrity check has failed.

Likely causes

  1. Bad EEPROM contact / wrong insertion
  2. EEPROM version is different
  3. Outdoor unit PCB failure
  4. Fan locked
  5. Obstruction/shield around the heat exchanger
  6. Insufficient distance between product and wall
  7. Piping condition issues such as pipe bending
  8. EEV operation/connection status fault
  9. Abnormal refrigerant pressure
  10. Compressor restraint
  11. Compressor wiring reverse phase loss
  12. Short circuit or opening of internal connection line in compressor
  13. Compressor winding resistance out of spec
  14. Compressor insulation resistance failure
  15. Inverter PCB assembly or connector connection fault
  16. IGBTM failure

Where to start

  1. Check if EEPROM is inserted. If not inserted, check connection status and reinsert.
  2. If EEPROM is inserted, check if EEPROM status is normal. If not normal, replace EEPROM.
  3. If EEPROM status is normal, check if EEPROM insertion direction is normal (insert the socket hole and EEPROM hole in the same direction). If not normal, change EEPROM direction.

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.
