You have loaded the laundry into the machine, selected the program, and pressed the Start button. But instead of the usual bubbling of water, you hear silence, and on the display of the LG washing machine the error code CL lights up. Error description On the display of the LG washing machine, the CL code means that the function of the child lock is activated (Child Lock). This mode is designed to lock all buttons except the POWER key from accidental pressing and changing the washing program by children. You may have forgotten that you activated this function in the last wash. It is possible that the child lock was activated by other household members. Or the function was activated by accident. In any case, do not worry, the CL code is not an error. It is an information message. How to clear CL error in LG washing machine To do this, press and hold simultaneously for 3-4 seconds the two buttons marked with the icon “pacifier” or baby face with a lock. Depending on the model of your machine, these may be the buttons Super Rinse and Prewash Intensive wash and Extra rinse Temperature and one of the options buttons and others. For LG models with touch controls, you must hold down one of the basic function keys for 3-4 seconds, under which there is an asterisk labeled “Child Lock” to release the lock.
