How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: CL is not a fault but a feature. Disable it to restore normal operation.

  • 1. Disable child lock:
    • Press and hold the designated Child Lock buttons (often Temp + Option or similar) for 3–5 seconds until CL disappears. Refer to your LG manual for the exact combination.
  • 2. Check for stuck buttons:
    • If CL will not toggle, press each button firmly to ensure none are stuck.
    • Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth to remove residue.
  • 3. UI board issues:
    • If the lock indicator will not clear and buttons are unresponsive, the user interface PCB may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.
