What does CL error mean in LG washing machine operation?

Even in spite of the fact that any commercial, the seller and even common sense tell us that before using the washing machine it is necessary to carefully study the instructions for it, many people ignore this advice, which is why unpleasant situations arise. Just one of these - the error CL when the washing machine LG. What does this code mean, which introduces not one hostess into a stupor?

Code decryption

If the CL code appears on the display of washing equipment, do not panic and worry, because it means that the Child Protection feature has been turned on.This mode locks all buttons, except for turning off / on the power, so that children cannot accidentally change the washing program.

Very often this situation occurs when the owner of the machine forgets that during the last wash he activated this function and forgot to turn it off, or it was turned on by mistake by accident.

Anyway, do not worry if this code appears on the display, because it does not signal the presence of an error, but is a message informational.

Solution to the problem

1. Be sure to read the instructions that are provided with your model, where there will be information regarding the deactivation of the Child Protection feature (ChildLock).
2. If for some reason the instruction is missing, it can be downloaded directly on the Internet on the official website of the manufacturer.
3. Most models will automatically turn off the service if you hold the button with the image of "smile" for 3-5 seconds.

It is worth paying the next moment! If it is written in the instructions for use that activating this mode completely blocks all the buttons on the panel, but the on / off buttons remain working, this may indicate a failure of the control module.

Now you know what the CL error means in the LG washing machine, and what to do if it appears on your display during the wash.
