How do I fix error code E CL on a LG refrigerators?

1. undefined: Use LG SVC App Step 1 to determine if issue is sealed system, compressor, or normal (customer emotional fault). 2. undefined: If no SVC App: use temperature gun to check evaporator temperature. 3. undefined: Check voltage to determine if PCB is faulty (change PCB if bad). 4. undefined: Check return time to equilibrium pressure. If more than 15 minutes: restriction is present. 5. undefined: Check equilibrium pressure. If above 20 psi: compressor is defective. If below 20 psi: refrigerant has leaked. 6. undefined: Perform leak test on low-pressure parts (evaporator, suction pipe) first. 7. undefined: If no low-pressure leak found: check high-pressure parts (condenser, drier). 8. undefined: If low-side leak found: replace parts AND both drier and compressor (moisture ingestion likely). 9. undefined: After repair, error code clears when freezer reaches 14°F or below. 10. undefined: If leak cannot be located: install UV drier for UV dye detection on next visit.

How to Fix

1
Use LG SVC App Step 1 to determine if issue is sealed system, compressor, or normal (customer emotional fault).
2
If no SVC App: use temperature gun to check evaporator temperature.
3
Check voltage to determine if PCB is faulty (change PCB if bad).
4
Check return time to equilibrium pressure. If more than 15 minutes: restriction is present.
5
Check equilibrium pressure. If above 20 psi: compressor is defective. If below 20 psi: refrigerant has leaked.
6
Perform leak test on low-pressure parts (evaporator, suction pipe) first.
7
If no low-pressure leak found: check high-pressure parts (condenser, drier).
8
If low-side leak found: replace parts AND both drier and compressor (moisture ingestion likely).
9
After repair, error code clears when freezer reaches 14°F or below.
10
If leak cannot be located: install UV drier for UV dye detection on next visit.
