I decided to phoned LG customer service directly. They informed me that my dehumidifier comes with a 5 year warranty. They gave me a ph# to call of a dealer located in my area that will fix my problem at no charge. They were very helpful.

There is a float switch somewhere to measure the level of water in the bucket. That switch is out of position or broken. This can happen if you are not careful removing and re-installing the bucket. Look at the area around the bucket and you should be able to find and fix the switch. Make sure the power is off when you are doing this.
If this is the same as the original part then you can follow the wiring through the casing, sometimes you can tie a piece of thin cord to the cables as you pull them through and then use this to pull the new cables back.
Do you have the bucket, as lots of these sensors need to be plugged into the bucket to operate properly. Even if you are using the drain hose.
Another thing worth noting is that often when the sensor reads a fault it can be just dirt or slime on the sensor, a good clean with an old toothbrush and warm soapy water can often acheive excellent results.
I don't know what CHO1 is either! My husband and I had the same problem a couple years ago. We just ended up buying a new one.

I have a LG model LHD65EBL that first started icing up along the top edge during humid days. After several months of this, it finally stopped working and displayed CH01 with the bucket full indicator flashing.
I took apart the dehumidifier, removed the temperature sensor from the coil and rubbed it between my fingers. I then plugged in the unit and it started right up, confirming either a sensor or other circuit problem related to that sensor. For my model unit, I ordered sensor assembly #6877A30013L from RepairClinic.com for $21.75 + shipping.
When I received the assembly, I measured the new and old sensor with an ohm meter: new sensor = 5.5KOhms, old, defective sensor = 5.34KOhms. I installed the new sensor assembly and the unit is working fine.
Just because the bucket full indicator is flashing along with an error code does not mean there is a problem with the bucket full switch.
'ERROR CHOI IS SHOWN AND BUCKET FULL LITE BLINKS'
Bucket is empty and cho1 error code shows with the Bucket Full light blinking.
