LG Washing Machine Error Code tCL

Not a fault

What this code means

tCL: Tub clean reminder (not an error)

tCL is the washer reminding you it is time to run the Tub Clean cycle. It appears periodically based on wash count and is not a fault.

Common causes

Tub clean interval reached
Reminder carried over because the clean cycle was skipped

What to check, in order

Run the Tub Clean cycle with an empty drum, with or without a tub cleaner product.
The reminder clears after the cycle completes.

Safety first. Switch the machine off and unplug it before cleaning filters or moving hoses. Expect water to come out when you open a pump filter; keep a tray and towel ready. If you are not comfortable with any step, stop and call a technician.
