LG Dryer CL error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 1m

CL is not an error code. It means the child lock feature has been activated on your LG dryer, which disables all buttons on the control panel to prevent accidental changes to a running cycle. This is commonly activated by accident. Pressing and holding the CHILD LOCK button for 3 seconds deactivates it immediately. The exact button may vary by model so check your owner's manual if the standard method does not work.

Common causes
