LWHD2500ER (AWYAUSH) LG Air Conditioner - Instructions

Pull the unit out of cabinet. Remove the brace between the blower housing and the condenser frame. Remove the screws securing the the condenser coil to the base and carefully lift and angle it just enough for the broken fan to clear ( be very careful with the refrigerant lines ). Slide the new fan back on the shaft and secure with the spring clamp. I used a pair of vice grips to compress the clamp, but be very careful because the clamp can exit the pliers, if the jaws are not perpendicular to the clamp. If you live in a area with high humidity remove the rubber plug at the back of the unit or the condensation will break your new fan. This fan needs some changes in design because the condensation puts too much stress on the plastic that contacts the motor shaft - some metal between shaft and the blades would help.

Part of the fan blade broke on my AC unit and was causing a vibration. This made the AC unusable. The ordered Fan was a perfect OE replacement. I simply removed the outside over and then the fan shroud inside the unit. I carefully repositioned the condenser unit being careful not to damage the fins. Using a pair of pliers, I removed the retainer clip and removed the old fan. The new fan slid right over the shaft. I replaced the retaining clip and then repositioned the shroud. Then I placed the condenser and fins back into place and then placed the cover back over the unit. Worked perfect. No issues. Take your time. Excellent replacement fan!

Took front cover off air conditioner and pulled it a little forward out of the outdoor housing. I then flipped the LED display section out to the left and exposed the patch panel. The next step was to remove the panel with a small screwdriver and disconnect the old thermistor plug. I then plugged in the new one, remove the old one from the grid bracket and placed the new one in. I then replaced everything else in reverse order. I have two LG air conditioners and they both have the same connection setup.

Replaced it

Remove the front cover. Slide the unit forward a few inches from the case. Remove 1 screw from the top on the control box. Unsnap the old thermister leads going into the circuit board. Snap in the new thermister and place the end in the plastic holder in front of the coils. Install front cover.

I hotwired the compressor and fan directly to 110 volts and it all functioned so I knew it was electronics. Ordered two circuit boards and after putting the first one in it fired right up. Returned the second one. The one that was bad had all the relays on it--the one with the digital readout and switches was good, which was great because the old remote continued to work. Not sure if a new board would work with the old remote or if the remote needed to be replaced also...
