TROMM Washer "CL" Error Message

I have a TROMM DD-Inverter 7kg WP-87000 front loading washing machine. Mysteriously, because it wasn’t in use at the time, the washer started displaying the error message “CL.” Can anyone help diagnose this error message and its related problem? I have inherited the machine from the previous owners and don’t have the washer’s owners manual. Many thanks!

THE CL ERROR CODE IS CHILD LOCK, PRESS AND HOLD THE PREWASH BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS AND IT SHOULD TURN OFF........ BUT IF THERE ARE OTHER BUTTONS TO PRESS TRY IT OUT, THE OLDER LG'S HAD TWO BUTTONS TO PRESS, SO IF YOURS ARE THE OLDER ONES TRY IT OUT..... IF THIS HELPED OUT, PLS LEAVE A FEED BACK. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENTS FROM ANYONE ONLY FEED BACKS, IT MOTIVATES ME TO HELP OUT OTHERS WHO NEEDS HELP....................

Hey did you ever figure this out?? I, too, just got this message in my inherited, manual-less washer. Already cleaned out the lint thing in the bottom right corner, and found a bunch of bobby pins about about 600won. But the CL won't go away.

On this particular machine the CL child lock is disengaged by pressing the Prewash button for 3 seconds.

LG Tromm washer, what does error code ''CL'' mean?

Hello there and welcome to fixya
THE cl is not a error code at all
it SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE CHILD LOCK FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED
not to dismiss the feature simply press and hold the wash and rinse buttons for a minimum of 5 seconds and release Your machine may be different so you may have to press a different series of buttons like if theree are 2 buttons with the unlock or lock picture on them or shows a child or something like this but it should be 2 buttons that are neded to unlock ok
Hope this is very helpful
Best regards Mike

It showing cl on the screen

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. CL means child lock, it might have got locked. Try pressing "dry" & "spin" together for a 10 seconds or until the CL disappears. Also try pressing "end of cycle" for over 5 seconds.
If this doesn't work then try pressing "options & select" till the light goes off.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

Error Message CL in the front panel

Error message CL solved. CL means child lock. To deactivate press two linked buttons (on my machine the right options button and the temp button) together for a couple of seconds.
