| 1501 | master outdoor unit: Compressor discharge superheat is not satisfied | Use the complete 1501 display for the master outdoor unit source row. |
| 1502 | slave 1 outdoor unit: Compressor discharge superheat is not satisfied | Use the complete 1502 display for the slave 1 outdoor unit source row. |
| 1503 | slave 2 outdoor unit: Compressor discharge superheat is not satisfied | Use the complete 1503 display for the slave 2 outdoor unit source row. |
What to do now
Use these steps before customer action, gas work, a pressure check, or parts quote.

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 |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic note | Record 1501 and confirm that the master outdoor unit reported it. Avoid repeated resets and arrange pressure, airflow, valve, sensor, refrigerant-circuit, and compressor checks before approving a repair. |
| Diagnostic note | Record 1502 and confirm that the slave 1 outdoor unit reported it. Avoid repeated resets and arrange pressure, airflow, valve, sensor, refrigerant-circuit, and compressor checks before approving a repair. |
| Diagnostic note | Record 1503 and confirm that the slave 2 outdoor unit reported it. Avoid repeated resets and arrange pressure, airflow, valve, sensor, refrigerant-circuit, and compressor checks before approving a repair. |
| 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 taking any system action on CH150, take a clear display photo. | Match CH150 to low-pressure, high-pressure, leak, or refrigerant-cycle protection. |
| Capture the LG Multi V 5 commercial VRF indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Measure operating pressures, coil temperatures, airflow, and outdoor fan condition. |
| The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Leak-check or pressure-test before recommending another refrigerant top-up. |
Pressure, leak, or airflow decision
LG Multi V 5 commercial VRF CH150 needs measured pressure, airflow, and leak evidence before gas work is approved. Replacement only becomes serious when the leak, compressor, or coil repair is uneconomical.
A top-up alone is poor value if the leak source is not found.
High-pressure faults often come from airflow, condenser, fan, or overcharge conditions.
Coil leaks or compressor-related findings can shift older systems toward replacement.
