LG range or oven oven will not heat or preheat

LG range or oven oven will not heat or preheat: mode, temperature, door state, power/gas supply and element/burner operation should be separated. Scoped to LREL6325F.

LG's LREL6325 troubleshooting begins with the simple causes of an oven that will not work: the plug is not fully in a live, grounded outlet, a fuse is blown or a breaker has tripped, the oven controls are set wrong, the oven is too hot to accept the mode (Self Clean locking temperature), a power outage, wiring incomplete after installation, or Sabbath mode is on (sb in the display and every function button dead). F-9 is the fault code LG lists for an oven that is not heating.

Differential

Likely causes of “LG range or oven oven will not heat or preheat”, and how to tell them apart

  1. 1

    The breaker is tripped or a fuse is blown

    What separates it The cooktop and oven display are both dead or the whole range shows nothing

    How to confirm Reset the two-pole range breaker in the panel and check that the display returns

  2. 2

    Sabbath mode is on

    What separates it The display shows sb and no function button responds when you press it

    How to confirm Press and hold Settings for three seconds until sb disappears

  3. 3

    The oven control is set for a mode that cannot start

    What separates it The display shows a temperature but the oven never heats after START

    How to confirm Press CLEAR/OFF, choose Bake, key a temperature between 170 and 550 °F and press START

  4. 4

    The bake element or sensor has failed

    What separates it The controls work but the oven stays cool and F-9 shows

    How to confirm Note the F-9 code, turn the oven off and contact LG or a service agent

Before you touch a setting

Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence

  • The exact code on the display, if any
  • Whether the cooktop elements heat while the oven does not
  • Whether the range display and clock are on

  1. Check power

    Reversible

    Make sure the range cord is fully seated in a live, grounded outlet and check the circuit breaker or fuse in your home; LG lists both as the first causes of a range that does not work.

  2. Check Sabbath and lock

    Reversible

    If sb appears, hold Settings for three seconds. If Loc or the lock icon shows, hold CLEAR/OFF for three seconds, because LG says Lock Out prevents most oven controls from starting.

  3. Set the oven again

    Reversible

    Press Bake, key the temperature on the number keypad (for example 3, 7, 5), press START and watch the display count up from 100 °F in 5-degree steps.

  4. Watch the preheat

    Reversible

    LG says the oven should reach set temperature in about 15 minutes with the convection fan running on this model during preheat.

  5. Record any F code

    Reversible

    If the display beeps and shows F-3 or F-9, turn the function off to clear it, reprogram, and call service with the code if it returns.

Model-specific

What is true of this model and not of its siblings

EasyClean
EasyClean loosens light soil with only water in a 10 minute low-temperature cycle: about 1 cup of water on the bottom and a quarter cup on the walls, with the oven below 150 °F, level, door shut and racks out. Distilled or filtered water avoids mineral marks, and Self Clean is still the option for heavy soil.

Stop boundary

When this stops being a self-service repair

  • !If F-9 returns after you clear the code and reprogram the oven, call LG service; this is the oven-not-heating fault code
  • !If the breaker trips again as soon as it is reset, stop using the range and call an electrician
