What does the code mean FF?
FF means water in the washer or hoses has frozen. LG advises moving the washer away from direct cold and letting it thaw before restarting. It can happen on cold winter nights in high areas if the washer sits on an exposed balcony.
Code meanings can vary by model, market and appliance type. Always check your model's user manual. The same letters can mean something different on dishwashers or refrigerators.
