In the next five minutes
Safe first steps, before the call. Nothing here needs a tool.
If you smell gas: don’t touch any switch or plug, leave, then call the gas company or 911 from outside.
No gas smell? Turn off any burner that is on and switch off the range’s breaker.
Take a photo of the range and any code on the display, without opening anything.
Everything else about this problem
Is it an emergency?
Is an LG range that isn't working an emergency?
Rarely an emergency. Check power first: the plug, the breaker and any GFCI outlet. Stop and call a pro if it smells like burning, trips the breaker again, or runs on gas and you smell gas.
Symptoms & causes
The LG range displays no power, no lights, no heat from burners or oven, and the control panel is completely blank. This usually indicates a complete loss of electrical power to the unit, often due to a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty power cord, or a problem with the main terminal block. Less commonly, a complete failure of the main control board or a short circuit within the appliance could also manifest as a total power outage.
Tools & parts
You will need a multimeter to test for voltage and continuity, and a screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead) for accessing panels. A new range power cord or a replacement terminal block may be needed. If the main control board is the culprit, it may need replacing, depending on the specific LG model.
Safety first
Always disconnect the range from its power source by unplugging it or shutting off the dedicated circuit breaker at your home's electrical panel before beginning any inspection or repair. Electrical shock is a significant hazard, so never work on a live appliance, and be mindful of sharp edges and heavy components when moving the unit. Ensure the area is well-lit and clear of obstructions to prevent trips and falls, especially when pulling the heavy range away from the wall.
When to call a pro
If the issue persists after verifying power supply and checking the terminal block, a professional technician should be called to track down potential internal wiring shorts or complex control board failures. Tracking down and replacing a main control board often requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure proper calibration and functionality, which is best left to an expert. Any signs of burnt wiring, melted components, or persistent tripping of the main circuit breaker indicate a serious electrical fault that demands immediate professional attention to prevent fire hazards.
Questions people ask
What's the first thing I should check if my LG range has no power?
First, check your home's electrical panel for a tripped circuit breaker dedicated to the range; it will likely be a double-pole 240V breaker. If tripped, reset it firmly, pushing it completely off before turning it back on.
My circuit breaker isn't tripped, what's next?
Next, carefully pull the range away from the wall and inspect the power cord for any visible damage, such as cuts, pinches, or burn marks. Also, ensure the cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
Could a faulty outlet be the problem?
Yes, it's possible the 240V outlet itself is not supplying power, especially if other high-draw appliances on the same circuit are also not working. You can test the outlet with a multimeter, but only if you are comfortable and knowledgeable about electrical testing.
