LG Air conditioner wall thermostat not working properly
If your LG air conditioner wall thermostat is not working properly, start with the thermostat itself. A failed wall thermostat can have power but still show a dead display, fail to switch modes, or stop sending the 24-volt signal needed to run the air conditioner. If your system uses a WiFi thermostat, that part is just as likely to cause an AC thermostat not working problem, especially if the display is blank or the thermostat is not controlling the air conditioner correctly. Next, check the wall thermostat batteries, since weak or dead batteries can make the thermostat display blank even when the rest of the system is fine. If the thermostat checks out, the LG air conditioner control board may not be supplying low-voltage power to the thermostat. Also confirm the unit has incoming power, the breaker is not tripped, and the air conditioner is plugged in. On some systems, a bad transformer can also prevent the 24-volt circuit from operating.

01 - LG Air Conditioner Wall Thermostat
The wall thermostat is responsible for controlling components and regulating the home's temperature. The thermostat can be powered with 24 volts from a control board on a separate unit, like a furnace or air handler, or from batteries in the thermostat itself. The thermostat also has terminals to receive and distribute low voltage 24 volt power to run different HVAC products such as a furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. If the wall thermostat is receiving power but the display is dead, or it will not send power out in the appropriate modes, the wall thermostat will need to be replaced.

02 - LG Air Conditioner Wifi Thermostat
The WiFi thermostat is responsible for controlling components and regulating the home's temperature. The thermostat is usually powered with 24 volts from a control board on a separate unit like a furnace or air handler. The thermostat also has terminals to receive and distribute low voltage 24 volt power to run different HVAC products such as a furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. If the WiFi thermostat is receiving power but the display is dead, or it will not send power out in the appropriate modes, the WiFi thermostat will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
03 - Wall Thermostat Batteries
Most wall thermostats are either powered by an enclosed battery or by the air conditioner's control board. If the thermostat display is dead, you can remove the thermostat cover and look for replaceable batteries. Replace the batteries if needed and check operation.
Common
04 - LG Air Conditioner Control Board
The control board regulates the power supply to all of the components in the system. If the control board fails, it might not send voltage to the thermostat, leaving the thermostat inoperable.
Less Common
05 - Incoming Power Problem
Check to see if there is power to the air conditioner. One or more indicator lights on the control board should be illuminated. If there is no power to the air conditioner, check to see if a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown. Confirm the unit is plugged in and has power.
Less Common
06 - LG Air Conditioner Transformer
On some air conditioning units the control board sends a low voltage signal of 24 volts to the thermostat. When the thermostat's contacts close, a 24 volt signal is sent to the appropriate unit and components. Some air conditioners may have a separate transformer for the 24 volt circuit. If the transformer has the proper input power but no 24 volt output to the thermostat, the transformer will need to be replaced.
Uncommon But Possible
