Hi @crbc
Turn on the power to the machine and then press and hold the Rinse + Spin buttons (both together) for 3 seconds to either activate or deactivate the Control Lock feature.

@Arlene Jackson
What is the model number of the washer?
This didn't work for me... have a 14kg top loader.... thanks for the suggestion though.

On my top loading super inverter LG washer I just had to press the child lock button for three seconds. I didn't notice but it actually says "Child lock" in very small letters.

Hi @Barb Wandsnider
Press and hold the soil level button for 3 seconds during the wash cycle to disable the child lock.
Here's the section from the user manual that explains how to enable and disable the feature.

I held down the rinse & spin button for 3 seconds. It released the control lock.
My question: why does the manual not describe how to deal with this error code nor even list it in the error message section??? Thank goodness for Google. Press and hold the water plus/child lock button worked for me.
P.S. I bought this machine 8 years ago. NO other service issues đ
The CL code is NOT an error code.
It is usually described in the user manual under the features i.e. Control Lock or Child Lock and is there to inform whether the lock has been enabled or disabled, usually done by the user of the machine
My panel shows child lock and CL. I tried pressing rinse and spin for more then 3 seconds it does not work. Please advise.

Not every washer uses the same button sequence to enable/disable the Child lock feature.

None of the above worked, probably because my panel is different. Then I noticed on my LG the Half Load and Energy Saver had an note below them: Control Lock.
I pressed both simultaneously and the frustrating CL was cleared.

This worked on my LG model, which has a similar control panel to yours:
For front-loading washer dryer combo âInverter Direct Drive True Balanceâ LG model #WM3499H*A:
1) Once LG machine is powered ON:
2) Go to the right touch-screen panel, press and hold âPre-wash + Delay washâ buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds. This will turn OFF the CL (control lock/child lock). Youâll hear a little jingle when the function is processed.
3) Similarly, pressing this combo simultaneously again for 3-5seconds will turn back ON the CL .
Hope this helps!

Hi @shuxiantan,
What is the model number of your washer?
Not all LG models use the same lock/unlock control buttons.
If your machine does require the spin + rinse buttons to be operated, then if the rinse button is faulty it will have to be replaced or somehow bypassed to disable the CL code

Not all LG washers use the same set of buttons for the CL function.
To activate/deactivate the Child Lock (CL) feature in your model, press and hold the Beeper button and the Rinse button (both together) for 3 seconds.
