LG cooktops,
specifically.

LG sells gas, radiant electric and induction cooktops in the US, under the LG, LG Studio and LG Signature names. Its cooktop manuals group the display codes into one line instead of explaining each, so a visit starts with the model and the exact letters on the glass.

What is particular
to LG.

LG's US lineup has 24-, 30- and 36-inch gas cooktops, radiant electric cooktops, and induction models from the CBIH series to the Studio CBIS and Signature cooktops. The induction manuals differ on which codes they list, so the model matters before the code.

One line for a whole block of codes

On the CBIH induction models, LG lists sixteen codes from F0 to FE in a single row with one meaning: the electronic control found a problem. Writing down the exact code still matters, because the manual gives no other clue.

A gas flame that goes out keeps flowing

LG's gas cooktop manual warns that gas keeps flowing to a burner whose flame has gone out until the knob is turned to OFF. A burner that will not stay lit is treated as a gas safety problem, not a nuisance.

Pans below a minimum size are ignored

LG's Studio induction manual sets a minimum base of about 5 13/16 inches, with a larger minimum for the flexible zone. A small pan that will not heat is behaving as designed.

Some noises are part of induction

LG lists humming, whistling, crackling and clicking as normal on its induction cooktops, and says the cooling fan runs whenever an element is on. A grinding fan or a zone that cuts out is what needs a look.

Parts

Induction boards and touch panels are matched to the model and its revision suffix. Gas parts such as burner heads, caps and igniters are simpler to source.

Repair or replace

A burner, igniter or fan problem on an LG cooktop is normally repaired. A power board failure on an older induction unit, especially with worn glass, is where comparing a replacement makes sense.

Questions about
LG cooktops.

What does an F code on my LG induction cooktop mean?
LG's manuals list the F codes as a group meaning the electronic control found a problem. Turn the cooktop off and on; if the code comes back, book a visit and note the exact letters.
Why is my LG induction cooktop humming?
LG says the magnetic field that heats the pan causes a hum, loudest at high settings. It drops when you lower the power.
My LG gas burner went out. What should I do first?
Turn the knob to OFF right away, because gas keeps flowing until you do. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
How long should an LG gas burner take to light?
LG's manual says a burner should light within about 4 seconds once air has been purged from the line.
