LG Dryer Control Panel Reset (procedure) error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 2–5m

A control panel reset is not an error code. It is a general troubleshooting step that can resolve many dryer issues including unresponsive buttons, frozen displays, and persistent error codes that do not clear on their own. The reset works by fully discharging any residual power from the control board while holding the START/PAUSE button. This is the recommended first step for any unexplained dryer behaviour before calling a technician.

Common causes
