LG Range (Electric) F17 error code

Difficulty: Hard · Cost: $80–$250 · Duration: 5m

The F17 error means your LG range detected a problem with the convection fan. The convection fan circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven cavity during convection cooking to ensure consistent results. When it cannot operate correctly the oven stops the convection function to prevent uneven cooking or overheating. A reset clears it in some cases but if F17 keeps returning the convection fan motor will need to be inspected and replaced by a technician.

Common causes

Convection fan motor has malfunctioned or failed
Fan blade is obstructed by debris or a foreign object
Wiring connection to the convection fan motor is loose or damaged
Temporary electronic glitch causing a false fan error

How to fix it

3
