Full Error Code List

LG dryer error codes

Use this page when you already know the display code or want to compare LG dryer meanings quickly by severity.

How to use this list

Use the table to confirm the exact code, then open the detail guide for the safest first checks, model notes, and next-step options.

What the list is best for

  • Matching the exact display code before you act.
  • Comparing severity and meaning side by side.
  • Spotting closely related warnings that users often confuse.

What happens on the detail page

  • Quick answer and severity guidance.
  • Symptom-based first checks where the content supports it.
  • Model and display notes plus trust and source context.

CL
The child safety lock is engaged. All control panel buttons are disabled to prevent accidental operation by children. This is not a fault — it is an intentional safety mode that is straightforward to deactivate.
low severity
D80
LG dryer error D80 usually means the exhaust duct is heavily restricted and airflow is no longer safe or efficient.
medium severity
dE
The dryer cannot confirm that the door is properly closed and latched. The cycle will not start or has paused because the door switch is not detecting a closed door.
low severity
E13
On LG hybrid heat pump dryers (ventless condensing dryers with a drain hose), E13 indicates that water collected during the drying cycle cannot drain correctly. This code only appears on hybrid/ventless dryer models with a drain connection — it does not apply to standard vented dryers.
medium severity
F0
The dryer has detected that the lint filter is missing or not properly seated. The cycle will not start until the lint filter is correctly installed. Running without a lint filter allows lint to enter the exhaust duct, creating a fire hazard.
low severity
GAS
The dryer has detected an issue with the gas supply. Either the gas is not flowing when the igniter calls for it, or the gas valve solenoids have failed. This code appears on LG gas dryers only.
high severity
HS
The dryer's humidity sensor has returned an abnormal reading or has stopped responding. Auto-dry cycles use this sensor to detect when clothes are dry and stop the cycle — a fault here can cause over-drying, under-drying, or a stopped cycle.
medium severity
nP
The dryer is running but the heating element is receiving no power. Clothes will tumble but will not dry — the air is not being heated. This code indicates an electrical supply problem rather than a failed element.
medium severity
PF
The dryer detected a power interruption during an active cycle. This is an informational status code — it tells you the cycle did not complete normally due to lost power. The dryer has paused and is waiting for your input.
low severity
PS
The dryer has detected that the incoming power supply voltage is outside its acceptable operating range. The voltage is either too high, too low, or fluctuating in a way that could damage the electronics or heating system.
medium severity
tE1
The dryer has detected a fault in one of its thermistors (temperature sensors). tE1 typically indicates the exhaust thermistor, tE2 the inlet thermistor, and tE3 a secondary thermistor — all three variants indicate the same class of problem at different sensor locations. The dryer has stopped to prevent overheating.
high severity

Common symptom shortcuts

These clusters give users another way into the list when they know the symptom but not the code.

Drain and standing water problems

  • D80 - LG dryer error D80 usually means the exhaust duct is heavily restricted and airflow is no longer safe or efficient.
  • E13 - On LG hybrid heat pump dryers (ventless condensing dryers with a drain hose), E13 indicates that water collected during the drying cycle cannot drain correctly. This code only appears on hybrid/ventless dryer models with a drain connection — it does not apply to standard vented dryers.
  • F0 - The dryer has detected that the lint filter is missing or not properly seated. The cycle will not start until the lint filter is correctly installed. Running without a lint filter allows lint to enter the exhaust duct, creating a fire hazard.

Leaks, fill, and water-path issues

  • E13 - On LG hybrid heat pump dryers (ventless condensing dryers with a drain hose), E13 indicates that water collected during the drying cycle cannot drain correctly. This code only appears on hybrid/ventless dryer models with a drain connection — it does not apply to standard vented dryers.

Door, latch, and lock warnings

  • dE - The dryer cannot confirm that the door is properly closed and latched. The cycle will not start or has paused because the door switch is not detecting a closed door.
