What the E267 error code actually means

Your LG air conditioner is showing this error because a small temperature sensor on one of its compressors has slipped out of its clip or bracket. The system detected that the sensor is no longer reading accurately, so it shut down to protect the compressor from potential damage. The fix is usually as simple as pushing the sensor back into place and making sure the clip holding it is still intact.

Questions people ask about E267

What does E267 mean on a LG air_conditioner?
E267 indicates that the top temperature sensor on compressor 2 has become physically detached from its mounting holder. The control board cannot receive a valid temperature reading from that sensor, so the system flags the fault to prevent operating the compressor without proper thermal monitoring. This is a physical detachment issue, not typically a sensor failure.
Is it safe to keep running my LG air conditioner with an E267 error?
It is not recommended to continue running the unit with E267 active. Without a properly positioned temperature sensor, the control board cannot monitor the compressor top temperature accurately, which means it cannot protect the compressor from overheating. Continued operation under these conditions risks compressor damage, which is a much more costly repair.
How much does it cost to repair an E267 error on an LG air conditioner?
If the fix is simply re-seating the sensor, the cost may only involve a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150 depending on your area. If the sensor holder needs replacement, parts are generally inexpensive, keeping total repair costs relatively low. If the sensor itself is damaged and requires replacement, expect total costs in the range of $100 to $250 including parts and labor.
How do I fix error code E267 on my LG air conditioner?
Start by locating the top sensor on compressor 2 and re-inserting it firmly into its sensor holder. Check the holder itself for cracks or deformation that would prevent it from gripping the sensor. If the holder is damaged, replace it so the sensor stays in contact with the compressor surface. After reattaching the sensor, clear the error and monitor the system to confirm normal operation.
Will resetting my LG air conditioner clear the E267 error?
A power reset alone will not permanently clear E267 if the sensor is still detached. The error will return as soon as the system checks the sensor signal again. The sensor must be physically re-seated in its holder and the holder must be confirmed secure before the fault will stay cleared after a reset.
