A guide to error codes and status messages on LG Washing Machines, with documented meanings, safe checks and when to call a technician. Codes vary by model and market.
- Codes can differ between models and markets; your model's manual is the primary reference.
- Some display messages are status notices or features (like child lock CL), not faults.
- On some displays the code is preceded by Er (e.g. Er FF on refrigerators).
- Restarting after unplugging for a minute may clear a code temporarily, but if it returns there's a cause to fix.

FAQ
Are LG codes identical across models?
No. A code's meaning or form can vary by model, market and appliance type.
What if my code isn't listed here?
Check your model's manual, or send a photo of the display and the model on WhatsApp.
Can I ignore a code that disappears after restarting?
If it doesn't return it may have been transient, but repeated codes mean a cause needs fixing.
