LG Range (Gas) F16 error code

Difficulty: Hard · Cost: $80–$200 · Duration: 5m

The F16 error means your LG range detected a problem with the oven sensor. The oven sensor monitors the temperature inside the oven cavity and communicates with the control board to regulate heat accurately during cooking. When it develops a fault the oven cannot control temperature correctly and stops the function. A reset clears it in some cases but if F16 keeps returning the oven sensor will need to be inspected and replaced by a technician.

Common causes

Oven sensor has malfunctioned or failed completely
Wiring connection to the oven sensor is loose or damaged
Oven sensor is giving incorrect temperature readings
Temporary electronic glitch causing a false sensor error
