On the covered LG range or oven, F62, F69 means a Sous Vide Temperature Sensor Error — LG's own wording. First, confirm the sous vide function was in use. Then: switch the unit's circuit breaker off, wait 30 seconds and switch it back on — LG's own sequence for this code; there is no CLEAR/OFF step for it.
Differential
Likely causes of “LG range or oven code F62, F69”, and how to tell them apart
- 1
A fault in the sous vide temperature sensor
What separates it F62 or F69 appears while a sous vide cook is running
How to confirm Note whether the cook had just started or was mid-way
- 2
A momentary control glitch
What separates it The code clears after the breaker sequence and does not return
How to confirm Run the breaker off and on once and try a plain bake
- 3
A failed sensor or harness
What separates it The code returns on every sous vide cook
How to confirm Only a technician can test the sensor and its connector
- 4
A probe or sensor seated badly after a cook
What separates it The code appears the next time you start sous vide
How to confirm Check that any probe or sensor plugged in for sous vide is seated and dry
Before you touch a setting
Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence
- Which cooking function was selected
- Whether normal bake and broil still work
- The exact code, F62 or F69
- The model number from the oven frame
- Whether a water bath or probe was in the oven when the code showed
- Whether the code appeared at the start or after a long cook

0 of 7 completedWhat to do first
ReversibleConfirm the sous vide function was in use.
Correct only the documented fault domain
ReversibleSwitch the unit's circuit breaker off, wait 30 seconds and switch it back on — LG's own sequence for this code; there is no CLEAR/OFF step for it.
Stop the sous vide function
ReversibleDo not repeat a sous vide cook while the code returns.
Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds
ReversibleLG's own sequence for this code is to switch the circuit breaker off, wait 30 seconds and switch it on. There is no clear step on the panel.
Test with normal bake
ReversibleRun a plain bake to confirm that the main oven heats.
Book service if it returns
ReversibleA sensor that keeps failing needs a technician.
Clean and dry the sous vide parts before the next cook
ReversibleRemove anything you placed in the cavity for sous vide, wipe it dry and reseat any plug before you run the function again.
Model-specific
What is true of this model and not of its siblings
- Shown as
- F62 or F69 on the display.
- Applies to
- LG ranges and ovens with a sous vide function.
- Reset
- Breaker off for 30 seconds, then on; there is no panel step for this code.
Stop boundary
When this stops being a self-service repair
- !Stop using sous vide while the code returns
- !Call LG service if the code returns after a breaker reset

Exact questions
Common questions
What does F62, F69 mean on a LG range or oven?+
a Sous Vide Temperature Sensor Error — LG's own wording.
Can I bake?+
Ordinary oven functions may still work.
Should the tray be full for sous vide?+
The manual gives the water level to use, and a low level can trigger the sensor codes, so check it before anything else.
Does it affect baking?+
The code concerns the sous vide function; regular cooking may still work.
Is the breaker reset safe?+
Yes, it is the sequence LG gives; keep the oven cool and clear of food while you do it.
Why does the code mention both F62 and F69?+
LG lists them together as a sous vide temperature sensor error, so the same checks apply to either.
Is it safe to bake while it shows?+
Run a short bake to see; if the oven heats normally the sous vide function is the only part affected, but report it to LG if the code returns.
Can sous vide cause the code if water spills?+
Spilled water can disturb a sensor connection, so wipe the cavity dry and let it air out before you try again.
