LG Range (Electric) F59 error code

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

The F59 error means your LG range detected that the built-in griddle is not reaching or maintaining the correct temperature during operation. This is similar to the F56 error but represents a different griddle heating fault condition. It can be caused by a partially failed heating element or a control board issue affecting griddle temperature regulation. A circuit breaker reset clears it in some cases but if F59 keeps returning the griddle heating components will need to be inspected and replaced by a technician.

Common causes

  • Griddle heating element has malfunctioned or is not generating enough heat
  • Control board fault affecting griddle temperature regulation
  • Wiring to the griddle heating element is loose or damaged
  • Temporary electronic glitch causing a false heating error

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Turn off the circuit breaker for the range and wait 30 seconds

  2. 2

    Turn the circuit breaker back on and check if the error has cleared

  3. 3

    If F59 persists after resetting the griddle heating components need inspection and replacement by a qualified technician
