Terminal block, connector, or junction fault on the indoor or outdoor side.
Indoor or outdoor PCB communication circuit fault after wiring is proven sound.
What to do now
Use these steps before another reset, signal-wire check, or PCB quote.
Treat it as a fault signal
If 204C + HR unit number returns or cooling is still abnormal, stop treating it as a simple reset issue.
Reset 204C + HR unit number once
Capture the 204C + HR unit number display first, then power-cycle once only and note whether the same fault returns.

Source-specific guidance
These diagnostic-reference notes help match the code to the exact model. Electrical, refrigerant, wiring, resistance, and component checks are technician work, not DIY steps.
| Source detail | What it says |
|---|---|
| Source repair action | Record 204C + HR unit number and confirm that the heat-recovery unit reported it. Have the technician trace the applicable communication wiring, plugs, addressing, and board communication path before replacing PCBs. |
| Singapore / model note | LG Singapore lists Multi V 5, but the installed unit nameplate and matching service manual control. Do not apply this row to Multi V i or another LG family. |
What to check before repair
Use this split to separate safe evidence capture from the tests a technician should prove before quoting parts.
| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before resetting 204C + HR unit number, take a clear display photo. | Match 204C + HR unit number against the exact model-family source row before quoting parts. |
| Capture the LG Multi V 5 commercial VRF indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Test communication terminals, cable continuity, polarity, and outdoor power. |
| Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected, plus whether it returns after one reset. | Read indoor and outdoor PCB indicators only after the signal path is proven sound. |
What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, source-table, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows 204C + HR unit number. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same 204C + HR unit number fault. | The shared outdoor side, power path, communication trunk, or refrigerant circuit needs priority checking. |
| The fault returns immediately after one reset. | Start with the source-row diagnostic branch before approving parts. |
| The model family is different from the row you found online. | Use the model or series filter first; same-looking codes can still belong to different diagnostic tables. |
| The model belongs to VRF, Cassette, Ducted rows such as LG Multi V 5 commercial VRF. | The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Use the matching source row before quoting parts. |
Wiring or PCB decision
LG Multi V 5 commercial VRF 204C + HR unit number should start with terminal, signal-cable, and power checks. PCB replacement only makes sense after the communication path is proven sound.
A loose terminal or bad junction is a targeted repair once the path is confirmed.
Signal-wire replacement depends mostly on access through trunking, ceiling, or concealed routes.
PCB cost should be weighed against age only after wiring and power checks pass.
