Frequently asked questions

How do I clear error codes after a reset?
After resetting your LG washing machine, some error codes may still appear. To clear them, turn off the washer, unplug it for 10 minutes, and restart it. If the error persists, check the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps. Common issues like drainage blockages or unbalanced loads can trigger error codes. Ensure that the drain hose is clear, the water supply is connected, and the load is evenly distributed before running another cycle.

How do I reset the child lock on my LG washing machine?
To reset the child lock on your LG washing machine, press and hold the Child Lock button (or Pre Wash + Rinse buttons on some models) for 3 to 5 seconds until the lock symbol disappears from the display. If the washer remains locked, turn it off, unplug it for a few minutes, and restart it. This should disable the child lock and restore normal operation.

When should I reset my LG washing machine?
You should reset your LG washing machine when it displays error codes, fails to start, stops mid-cycle, or has unresponsive controls. A reset can also fix minor software glitches and restore normal operation after a power outage. However, frequent resets may indicate an underlying issue, in which case checking the drain hose, water supply, and wiring is recommended.
