46 error codes currently available
9A5
The 9A5 display is spelling GAS and means the gas dryer is not receiving the proper gas supply.
Add
ADD or Add Water indicates a water-supply condition for the dryer steam function.
Add Water
Add Water indicates a water-supply condition for the dryer steam function.
AE
LG groups AE with a compressor-related dryer error; the compressor is the component that generates heat for drying.
bE
LG identifies bE as a drum drive belt problem that stops drum rotation.
CE1
CE1 indicates a compressor problem in the dryer heat-producing system.
CL
LG says CL is not an error code; it indicates that Child Lock is active.
Clean Filter
Check Filter is a maintenance reminder to clean the lint filter before each use, not a dryer fault.
Cooling / Drying
The Cooling/Drying light is a normal cycle-status indication.
d75
d75 indicates that the dryer exhaust duct is about 75% restricted.
d80
d80 usually indicates that the dryer exhaust duct is about 80% restricted; on some gas dryers it can also indicate insufficient gas supply.
d90
d90 indicates that the dryer exhaust duct is about 90% restricted.
d95
d95 indicates that the dryer exhaust duct is about 95% restricted.
dE
LG identifies dE as a door error: the dryer door is not completely closed.
dE4
dE4 indicates that the dryer door is not completely closed.
drn
drn indicates a drainage condition such as a full water container, a restricted drain hose, or air in the drain pump.
E00
E00 means the display PCB cannot read software from the main PCB.
E03
E03 means the dryer float switch detected water in the base of the dryer.
E05
E05 indicates a water-supply problem for the dryer steam cycle.
E1
LG says E1 applies to steam-function dryers and indicates an issue with the steam-generating component.
E13
On LG Hybrid Condensing Dryers, E13 indicates a drain restriction or frozen water in the sump.
E4
LG says E4 applies to steam-function dryers and indicates an issue with the steam-generating component.
EHE
EHE indicates that the dryer heater is drawing too much current and may trip the main fuse.
F0
LG says F0 / Insert Filter indicates that the lint filter is out of its housing.
F1
LG says F1 indicates a problem with the dryer cycle system and no heat is being generated in the heat exchanger.
FO
LG identifies FO / Insert Filter as a lint-filter installation problem.
GAS / 9A5
The GAS display means the dryer is not receiving the proper gas supply.
HS
LG identifies HS as a humidity-sensor error.
IF
LG's IF guidance indicates that the dryer is not detecting the lint filter correctly; the filter assembly or its interior-filter magnet may be out of place or missing.
LE1
LE1 indicates that the dryer drum is not rotating because of a drum-motor problem.
LE2
LE2 indicates a problem with the compressor that generates heat for drying.
LE3
LE3 indicates a problem with the motor that circulates air through the dryer.
nC
LG identifies NC as a faulty connection between the Display PCB and NFC PCB module.
nE
LG identifies NE as a connection issue between the control panel and the Wi-Fi module.
nF
LG identifies NF as a problem with the Wi-Fi module.
nP
LG says nP means no current is being detected at the heater and normally points to a home electrical-wiring or supply problem.
OE
LG groups drn/OE with a dryer drainage condition caused by a full water container, a kinked or pressed drain hose, or air in the drain pump.
PF
LG says PF commonly appears after a power outage.
PS
LG identifies PS as improper voltage at the dryer power cord; the article notes that reversed white and red terminal-block connections can be a cause.
tE1
tE1 indicates a dryer thermistor problem.
tE2
tE2 is a thermistor-related condition that can occur in very cold weather or when cold outside air enters through the exhaust vent during a steam cycle.
tE3
tE3 indicates a dryer thermistor problem.
tE4
tE4 indicates a dryer thermistor problem.
tE5
tE5 indicates a dryer thermistor problem.
tE6
tE6 indicates a dryer thermistor problem.
Wrinkle Care
Wrinkle Care is a normal option that periodically tumbles the load after drying to reduce wrinkles.
