Many people feel anxious when their LG washer displays the CD error, especially new users. So, what exactly is the CD error? What are the causes and how can you fix this issue? All will be detailed by Mytour Supermarket in the following article.
Troubleshooting LG Washer CD Error - Causes and Solutions
1. What does LG Washer CD Error mean?
CD is an abbreviation for Cool Down. In fact, CD is not an error code on LG washing machines but rather a reminder for users that the drying process has ended. When the CD symbol appears on the screen, users should quickly remove the clothes from the washing drum.
LG washing machines currently display symbols on the screen that are not error codes
This symbol is specifically set by the manufacturer on LG washing and drying machines. Therefore, conventional top-loading or front-loading LG washing machines typically will not display this code.
2. Causes of LG Washing Machine CD Error
Unlike other error codes that appear to indicate a problem with the washing machine, the CD code displayed on the screen is to notify that the clothes have been completely dried. The manufacturer sets this symbol for users to recognize and promptly remove clothes from the washing drum to avoid wrinkles.
Typically, during the drying process, clothes under high temperatures will reduce the wrinkles formed during the washing process. When the drying cycle ends, if you leave the clothes in the machine for a period of time, the temperature will gradually decrease and cause the wrinkles to return. At this point, you will have to put in more effort to iron the clothes flat.
3. Troubleshooting LG Washing Machine CD Error
Because CD is not an error code, you can rest assured when you see this symbol appear on the screen of your LG washing machine. After seeing the CD code, you just need to open the washing machine and take all the clothes out.
Remove clothes from the washing machine as soon as the CD sign appears on the screen
Alternatively, you can press the Start/Pause button on the control panel to ensure the washer stops completely before opening the door and taking out the laundry. Once pressed, the CD code will no longer be displayed on the screen. However, after pressing the Start/Pause button, it's advisable not to leave the clothes in the washer for too long.
However, in rare cases, even after pressing the Start/Pause button, the CD sign may still appear on the washer's screen. At this point, the control circuit board may have encountered an issue. You should contact the manufacturer's warranty center to have a technician come and assist in diagnosing and resolving the problem. Do not attempt to open the washer and troubleshoot the issue yourself, as this could potentially cause further damage. In such cases, not only may the warranty be voided, but you may also incur additional expenses for repairing the equipment.
4. Things to Consider When Using an LG Washer Dryer
For efficient use of the LG washer dryer, consider the following:
- Ensure stable water and power supply to the washer before operation. If water pressure is insufficient, consider installing an additional pump, and for unstable power supply, use a voltage stabilizer.
- Check the drainage pipes to remove any potential blockages.
- Sort the laundry from the beginning to ensure effective washing and drying. Overloading the washer with too many clothes will significantly reduce drying efficiency.
- Each washer dryer model has a specified maximum load capacity for washing and drying. Adhering to these specifications ensures efficient cleaning and drying of clothes, while also saving electricity and prolonging the lifespan of the appliance.
- Select the appropriate spin speed and drying temperature based on the type of fabric you need to clean to maintain fabric quality.
- Regularly clean the washer to ensure optimal performance of the appliance.
