LG Dishwasher Error Code CL: Child / control lock
Applies to LG dishwashers that show CL on the display.
Not an error — the child or control lock is on, so the panel will not respond.
What this code means
CL is a status display. The panel stays unresponsive until the lock is released the same way it was set.
The manufacturer's checks, in order
