LG AC Spare Parts Kenya —
Compressors, Motors & Parts from Dubai
LG is the most widely installed AC brand across Kenya’s residential and light commercial market. Al Faisal supplies LG compressors, fan motors, PCB boards, capacitors and spare parts wholesale from Dubai — exported weekly to Mombasa.
LG has been the dominant residential AC brand in Kenya for well over a decade. Walk through any apartment block in Kilimani, Westlands, South B or Parklands in Nairobi and LG outdoor units are what you see on the balconies and rooftops. Drive through Mombasa’s residential neighbourhoods and the pattern repeats. LG’s market position means that any Kenyan HVAC workshop servicing residential AC will encounter LG systems constantly — and will need LG parts consistently.
The challenge is that LG’s parts range is wide. LG makes its own compressors, its own fan motors and its own PCBs — components that are not interchangeable with generic alternatives for inverter and Dual Inverter models. Sourcing the correct LG part locally in Nairobi is inconsistent at best. Al Faisal supplies LG spare parts wholesale from Dubai, where the full range of LG components for the models sold in Kenya is available and stocked for regular export.
💡 LG Dual Inverter parts are model-specific — always confirm the outdoor unit model number before ordering. LG’s Dual Inverter range uses twin rotary BLDC compressors and inverter PCBs that are tuned to specific motor parameters. The model number on the outdoor unit nameplate is the essential reference for any Dual Inverter compressor or PCB order. WhatsApp us the full outdoor unit model number and we identify the correct parts for that specific system.
LG AC in Kenya — The Installed Base That Drives Service Demand
LG’s dominance in Kenya’s residential market reflects both competitive pricing and strong distribution through Nairobi’s electronics retail network. LG split AC units have been sold through Hotpoint, Jumia, game stores and independent dealers across Kenya for over fifteen years — building an installed base that spans multiple product generations, from older fixed-speed R22 units through the current R410A and R32 Dual Inverter range.
For HVAC workshops, this breadth of installed base means a constant and varied stream of LG service work. The older fixed-speed LG units in Nairobi’s established residential areas need compressor replacements and refrigerant top-up. The mid-generation R410A standard inverter units need PCB replacements after voltage events. The current Dual Inverter units need the specific twin rotary compressors and inverter boards that only LG manufactures. All of these service scenarios require the correct LG parts — and all of them are available from Al Faisal in Dubai.

LG Compressors — Standard & Dual Inverter
LG manufactures its own rotary compressors for standard fixed-speed units and its proprietary twin rotary BLDC compressor for the Dual Inverter range. Standard LG rotary compressors — used in fixed-speed LG split AC across the 1-ton to 2.5-ton range — can in many cases be substituted with GMCC equivalents of the correct capacity and refrigerant type. LG Dual Inverter compressors are LG-specific: the twin rotary design with BLDC motor requires a matched replacement for the inverter PCB to operate correctly. Al Faisal stocks LG compressors across the capacity range most commonly found in Kenya’s LG installed base, in both R22 and R410A variants, with T3-rated units for Mombasa coastal installations.
LG Fan Motors — Indoor & Outdoor
LG split AC uses a cross-flow blower motor in the indoor unit and an axial fan motor on the outdoor condenser unit. Both fail over time — the indoor blower from dust accumulation and bearing wear, the outdoor motor from heat, vibration and in coastal Mombasa installations, salt air corrosion. Fan motor replacement requires matching the original on shaft diameter and direction, motor wattage, supply voltage, and capacitor rating. LG fan motors are available in the wattage and voltage specifications used across the LG residential models most common in Kenya.
LG PCB Control Boards
LG PCB boards — both indoor and outdoor unit control boards — are among the most commonly replaced parts in LG systems across Kenya, primarily because of voltage instability in Kenya’s power supply. LG outdoor unit PCBs on inverter and Dual Inverter models are the more sensitive component — inverter drive boards managing BLDC compressor speed are exposed to the full supply voltage and are vulnerable to spikes on reconnection after power cuts. PCB replacement is model and revision specific — the board revision number printed on the PCB itself must be matched to confirm the correct replacement. WhatsApp us the PCB number and outdoor unit model and we confirm the correct board.
LG Capacitors
Run capacitors for LG compressors and fan motors fail regularly in Kenya’s climate — heat-accelerated degradation reduces capacitor life from the rated specification to 3–5 years in high-ambient outdoor unit installations. LG uses specific microfarad values for the compressor run capacitor and separate values for the fan motor capacitor — both must be replaced to the correct rating. Capacitors that measure significantly below rated capacitance cause hard-starting, excessive current draw and accelerated motor and compressor wear before visible failure occurs. Always test capacitors before condemning the motor or compressor.
LG Thermistors & Sensors
LG systems use multiple thermistors — room temperature, indoor coil, outdoor coil and discharge pipe sensors — each with a specific resistance characteristic matched to the control PCB’s calibration. A failed thermistor causes error codes on the indoor unit display that clearly identify which sensor has failed. The most common LG error codes related to thermistor failure are CH21 (indoor pipe sensor), CH22 (outdoor coil sensor) and CH38 (discharge pipe sensor). Thermistors are inexpensive parts that resolve these error codes immediately — confirm the code, order the correct sensor for the specific LG model, and the fault clears on replacement.
LG Outdoor Unit Parts
Beyond the major components, LG outdoor units require service parts including: contactors and relays for fixed-speed units, reactor coils for inverter units, service valves, and fan blade assemblies for outdoor units where the fan blade has cracked or become unbalanced from vibration. In coastal Mombasa installations, fan blades on outdoor units degrade faster from salt air exposure — an unbalanced or cracked fan blade causes vibration that accelerates bearing wear in the fan motor. Enquire with the outdoor unit model number and the specific part needed.
LG Dual Inverter — Service Notes for Kenyan Workshops
LG’s Dual Inverter technology is the product line that generates the most service complexity for Kenyan workshops — and the most consequential parts ordering decisions. Understanding how the Dual Inverter system works is essential for correct diagnosis and correct parts selection.
How It Works
The LG Dual Inverter uses a twin rotary compressor driven by a BLDC (brushless DC) motor — two compression chambers operating in phase opposition to reduce vibration — controlled by a variable-frequency inverter drive on the outdoor PCB. The inverter modulates compressor speed from approximately 15 Hz to 120 Hz depending on cooling demand. This continuous speed variation is what produces LG’s efficiency and comfort claims — and is also what makes the Dual Inverter more sensitive to refrigerant charge accuracy and PCB health than a fixed-speed unit.
Refrigerant Charge — Weight Critical
LG Dual Inverter units are more sensitive to refrigerant charge accuracy than fixed-speed units. Because the compressor operates across a wide speed range, operating pressures shift substantially with speed — making pressure-based charge assessment particularly unreliable. Always use the weight specified on the outdoor unit nameplate, charged by electronic scale. An overcharged Dual Inverter unit runs high head pressure at low speed and may trip the high-pressure protection. An undercharged unit runs poor efficiency and eventually trips low-pressure protection at high demand.
PCB Faults vs Compressor Faults
LG Dual Inverter systems display specific error codes distinguishing PCB faults from compressor faults. CH05 indicates an inverter compressor fault — this can mean a failed compressor or a failed drive board. Before ordering either component, confirm supply voltage is stable, check that the compressor winding resistances are balanced and within specification, and verify the DC bus voltage on the inverter board. A compressor with correct winding resistance but drive board faults points to the PCB. A compressor with open or shorted windings points to the compressor regardless of the PCB condition.
Voltage Protection — Essential for Kenya
LG Dual Inverter outdoor PCBs are more sensitive to voltage instability than fixed-speed unit PCBs — the inverter drive electronics operate at higher internal DC voltages and are exposed to mains supply quality issues that damage the drive module. For any LG Dual Inverter installation in Kenya — particularly in Nairobi residential areas with known voltage instability — a voltage stabiliser upstream of the AC disconnect is strongly recommended. This is especially important for Mombasa installations where power supply quality can be variable in coastal areas away from the CBD.
⚠️ Do not substitute a standard rotary compressor for a Dual Inverter twin rotary
This is the most consequential parts substitution mistake in LG service in Kenya. A Kenyan workshop that cannot source an LG Dual Inverter twin rotary compressor locally may be tempted to fit a standard GMCC or Highly rotary compressor of the same capacity. The result is immediate: the LG inverter PCB communicates with the motor through feedback signals that a standard rotary compressor does not generate. The PCB cannot confirm correct motor operation, throws a compressor fault code, and either refuses to run or runs at a fixed low speed with degraded efficiency and constant fault logging. The correct part for an LG Dual Inverter compressor replacement is an LG twin rotary BLDC compressor matched to the outdoor unit model. Al Faisal stocks these — WhatsApp us the outdoor unit model number and we confirm the correct compressor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common LG AC faults in Kenya and their causes?
The most frequent LG faults seen in Kenyan workshops are: compressor failure from blocked condensers in dusty Nairobi environments — the condenser fills with dust and restricts heat rejection, driving up head pressure and compressor temperature progressively until failure; PCB failure from voltage spikes on Kenya’s power supply, particularly on reconnection after load shedding events; fan motor failure from bearing wear accelerated by dust accumulation on the motor and in coastal installations by salt air; and capacitor degradation from heat and voltage stress. Of these, condenser blockage is the most preventable — regular condenser cleaning every 3–6 months in Nairobi eliminates the most common route to compressor failure in LG units.
Which LG error codes indicate parts that need replacing from Dubai?
Several LG error codes directly indicate specific component failures that require parts sourcing. CH05 indicates a compressor fault — confirm compressor winding integrity before ordering. CH21 and CH22 indicate indoor and outdoor pipe thermistor failure respectively — inexpensive sensors that clear the fault immediately on replacement. CH38 indicates discharge pipe thermistor failure. CH67 and CH68 indicate outdoor fan motor fault. CH10 and CH12 indicate communication errors between indoor and outdoor units — often the outdoor PCB. For any LG error code not listed here, WhatsApp us the code and the outdoor unit model number and we advise on the likely component and parts availability from Dubai.
Can I use a generic Chinese capacitor to replace an LG capacitor?
Yes — capacitors are interchangeable by specification, not by brand. A replacement capacitor must match the original on microfarad value and voltage rating. For LG compressor run capacitors typically in the 30–45 µF range at 450V AC, and fan motor capacitors typically 1.5–5 µF at 450V AC, any capacitor from a reputable brand — Skycap, Pilkor, Ducati — meeting the specification is a correct replacement. What matters is that the capacitance value and voltage rating match the original, and that the replacement is from a manufacturer with quality control standards — not the cheapest possible part from an unknown source. Failed capacitors from low-quality replacements are a consistent frustration in Kenyan workshops and not a problem worth introducing to save a small amount on each repair.
Does Al Faisal supply LG systems as well as LG spare parts?
Al Faisal’s primary Kenya supply is spare parts, compressors and refrigerant — not full AC systems, which are better sourced through established Kenyan distributors and dealers. Where Al Faisal adds value for Kenyan workshops is in the parts and components that local supply chains do not carry consistently — LG Dual Inverter compressors, specific PCB revisions, fan motors for older LG models that are no longer stocked locally. If you need a complete LG system, your Nairobi dealer is the correct source. If you need the compressor, PCB or fan motor to repair the LG system your customer already has, Al Faisal Dubai is where to order from.
