Cause matrix

Likely causes

Linear compressor failure

Internal piston or coil wear stops the compressor from pumping refrigerant, while the fan may still run.

Inverter board failure

A failed inverter board no longer drives the linear compressor, mimicking a compressor failure.

Start relay / PTC failure

On non-inverter models, a failed start relay prevents the compressor from starting.

Sealed-system overcharge or restriction

A capillary restriction or overcharge overloads the compressor and trips thermal protection.

How we isolate the fault

Diagnostic overview

We test the compressor electricals, the inverter or start-relay drive signal, and the sealed-system pressure. We confirm whether the compressor, the drive board, or a system restriction is the true cause before recommending replacement. For Centurion call-outs we complete this diagnostic on-site, so you receive an accurate fault confirmation and a written quote before any parts are fitted — whether you are near Centurion Mall or in a neighbouring Southern Pretoria suburb.

What the fix involves

Repair information

Where the compressor is confirmed failed, we recover the refrigerant, replace the compressor with a matched unit, replace the filter drier, evacuate the system, and weigh in the correct refrigerant charge to LG specification. All work carried out in Centurion is covered by our workmanship guarantee, and we only replace parts once the underlying fault has been confirmed.
