What Hi Means

Hi is not an error - LG's dedicated Hi/Lo article explains this is a message indicating indoor temperature, shown when the indoor temperature is 36°C (96.8°F) or higher, an abbreviation of "High."

Common Causes of Hi

  • Indoor room temperature has genuinely risen to 36°C (96.8°F) or higher

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

There's no repair step - this simply reflects a genuinely hot room; if the space feels unusually hot for reasons unrelated to weather, check for something blocking airflow to that room, but the display itself isn't reporting a malfunction.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • No troubleshooting is needed for the display itself - it's accurately reporting room temperature, not describing a unit fault.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Hi FAQ

No - it's simply telling you the room is very warm; the air conditioner should continue working to bring the temperature down from there.

No - Hi is just a room-temperature readout; CH61 is a separate heat-exchanger protection fault with its own distinct cause and fix.
