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 CH90 / CH91, take a clear display photo. | Confirm the exact model pairing behind CH90 / CH91. |
| Capture the LG indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Check jumper caps, capacity settings, paired indoor/outdoor model compatibility, and recent board changes. |
| The manufacturer lists no customer reset procedure for this code. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Only quote parts after configuration and communication checks are ruled out. |

What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, listed-meaning, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows CH90 / CH91. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same CH90 / CH91 fault. | Prioritise the shared outdoor side, power path, and source-listed system branch. |
| The fault remains displayed or returns during operation. | Start with the checks the manufacturer lists for this code 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 Inverter Split, Multi-Split rows. | This meaning comes from the manufacturer's own diagnostic material. Match the code to your model's listing before parts are quoted. |

Configuration or parts decision
LG CH90 / CH91 can often be corrected by matching settings, model pairing, or board configuration. Parts should be quoted only after setup is confirmed.
Wrong capacity or pairing settings can mimic a hardware fault.
Recent installation, PCB replacement, or mixed-model work changes the first check.
Once configuration is confirmed, the diagnosis can move to wiring or board inputs.
