LG Washer – Error Code ccl

LG – Error Code ccl

Is your LG washing machine displaying error code ccl on the screen?

What is a LG Error Code ccl?

A LG error code ccl indicates that the washer needs to run the tub clean cycle.

Recommended solution/fix steps

• Empty the tub, insert bleach into the detergent dispenser, and select the tub clean cycle.
• To skip the tub clean cycle, turn the cycle selector knob, or push the option buttons to select the desired cycle.
• The reminder message reappears for a few wash cycles and then disappears until the next scheduled tub clean cycle.

LG Troubleshooting to try

• Check the power to your house
• Check your washer circuit breaker
• If your washer motor has overheated, it will work again when it gets back to a normal operating temperature. Try unplugging your machine, waiting fifteen minutes then trying again
• Is the washer door/lid fully closed? If the door/lid isn’t pushing on the closed switch, the machine won’t work
• Have you accidentally started a delayed start timer? Follow the reset directions to reset your machine and cancel the timer
• Is your machine full of suds? You might have used too much detergent and the machine is unable to drain
• Is the drain hose kinked or clogged?
• Are the water taps still turned on?
• Check for a clogged filter

How to clean your LG washer filter

Your LG Front load washing machine is equipped with a drain pump filter that makes lost buttons or loose change a thing of the past. LG recommends cleaning out the drain pump filter of any lost items and lint buildup on a monthly basis.

LG Filter Washing Steps

• Make sure the unit is empty, turned off, and drained of any visible water in the tub.
• Locate the access panel in the lower front of your front-load washer.
• Next, grab a shallow pan and have it ready by placing it near the access panel to collect the water.
• Open and remove the access panel by pulling the tab downward and out, revealing the drain hose and drain pump filter.
• Pull the drain hose carefully into the pan and remove the plug from the hose, allowing the water to drain completely. Be careful not to pull the hose too far out, as this can cause the hose to kink preventing the water from draining properly.
• Once the water is drained, plug the drain hose and reinsert it back into place.
• Next, remove the pump filter by turning the filter counter-clockwise. Have a rag handy, because a little bit of water will run out when the filter is removed.
• Remove lost items and any lint and debris from the pump filter.
• To clear any buildup, wash thoroughly by hand.
• When finished, reverse the process.
• Insert the pump filter back into its slot, and turn clockwise until it stops.
• And finally, reinsert the access panel and close it.

Note: Please check your drain pump filter periodically, especially if you notice a slow drain or the display shows an OE Error Code.
