Error codeF20
ApplianceRange
Your LG range is flagging a lower oven door that cannot lock properly: F20 is listed as a door locking system failure for the lower oven.
Recommended response
Press CLEAR/OFF, then go back to the operation you started.
A second F20 means the range should sit unpowered at its breaker for half a minute before you switch it on.
Service is the manual’s answer if this does not hold, or if you are unable to carry the steps out. Series are not distinguished; the entry is for ranges with ovens.
A call to (415) 223-7887 starts LG range and oven repair for San Francisco and Bay Area kitchens. Have F20 in mind, along with the model number and your reset attempts.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so F20 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
