LG Range and Oven Error Codes: What They Mean and What to Do

On LG ranges and wall ovens, F1, F2, F4 and F5 are oven temperature sensor errors, F3 is a stuck keypad, F6 or F16 means the oven got too hot, F7 or F17 is a convection fan error, F9 or F19 means no heat, F10 or F20 is a door-lock failure, F11 is a communication error and F42 means house voltage is too high. Turn the breaker off for 5 minutes; codes that return need a technician.

Try this first

  1. Turn the range off and switch the breaker off for 5 minutes.
  2. For no-heat codes on gas models, make sure the gas supply valve is on.
  3. If you smell gas, leave the home and call Southwest Gas from outside.

Codes and their meaning can vary by model and production year, and the same code can have different causes. Where sources disagree we say so; in every case the exact cause is confirmed only by a technician's on-site diagnosis. Your owner's manual has the definitive list for your model.

Stay safe

Unplug the appliance (or switch off its breaker) before touching anything inside it, and never open a sealed refrigeration system, a gas valve or a microwave. If a code points to a part, the part has to be tested before it is replaced; we do that on the $75 diagnostic visit, credited toward the repair.

Frequently asked questions

What does F9 mean on an LG oven?

The oven didn't heat — on gas models often the igniter, on electric models an element or relay.

What does F10 mean?

The door lock failed during self-clean. Don't force the door.

How do I reset an LG range?

Switch off the breaker for 5 minutes and back on.
