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

  • Control panel became unresponsive or frozen
  • An error code is persisting after the underlying issue was fixed
  • Power surge or outage caused the control board to behave unexpectedly

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Turn the dryer off and unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker

  2. 2

    With the power off hold START/PAUSE for about five seconds

  3. 3

    Turn the circuit breaker back on or plug the dryer back in

  4. 4

    Power on the dryer and check if the issue has cleared

  5. 5

    If the problem persists after resetting contact a technician for further diagnosis
