Skip to main contentStart diagnosing E438 on your LG air conditioner→
What this code means
EVI (ESC) EEV leakage or internal leakage of intercooler or incorrect connector insertion of EVI EEV.
First step from the service manual
Check EVI EEV connector connection to PCB; check EEV coil installation; check for leakage.
Next steps: diagnose the root cause
1
Verify the error code is active
Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
