Blinking Nature Indicator Light

My wall-unit air conditioner will run fine and then shut off. When it does this the nature indicator light on the unit begins flashing (the blinking baby as I refer to it). If I attempt to turn it back on the fan revs up and then shuts off 15seconds later. I'm not sure what it's trying to convey with the blinking light but when the AC shuts off in the middle of the night causing my room to get over 80, it's a problem.

E4 Error Code

Could be overheating and a sensor is triggering the machine to turn off or it could be short of gas. Check all pipework connections for tightness and especially look for oily residue on any of them. This would indicate a leak. Unfortunately, if there is a leak, you would require a licensed air con Tech to repair the leak and regas it.

We have 2.0 HP inverter wall mounted LG aircon, when we turn on the ac, the indoor unit only is running and shut down after 3 mins. What is the solution?

Hi Marie, does the green indicator light on the front panel flash after it shuts down? If it does...count how many times it flashes this will refer to a fault code diagnostic.

Keith.

The air conditioner cools the room but it shuts of. The power light doesn't come on while unit is on. Can I replace the plug?

"The air conditioner cools the room but it shuts of." -- Temperature reached, but does not turn back on automatically? Stops short of reaching temperature? Shuts off for a period, but will come back on only to shut off again later?
Most importantly, how do you get it to turn on again?
"The power light doesn't come on while unit is on." -- If the unit is on and the power light is not, then the power light must not be operating (is burnt out).
Actual answer: "Can I replace the plug?" -- Of course you can.
What is causing you to feel that the plug needs replaced?
:o).
