No — this code is not a fault. If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.

— LG USA, LG Front Load Washer - Error Code List(New). Codes vary by model: check your washer’s own manual.
In plain words, tCL is about a motor or fan — it did not turn, turned the wrong speed, or the load is unbalanced.
LG gives 3 other motor, fan and spin codes for this washer: UE (it means your laundry is unbalanced), LE (displayed when the tub fails to spin), CE (over-current in the electrical circuit of the motor).
Next to tCL in LG’s table: LE (displayed when the tub fails to spin) and dE1 (the door is not closed properly).
Safety: If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.
At least WHENEVER. This code is a mode, a reminder or a status message rather than a fault. It does not need a repair on its own. This is fixRAgent’s reading, not the manufacturer’s. A photo can raise it — water near wiring, scorch marks, a gas smell — but a code never lowers what the photo shows.
Appliance repair. Have the model and serial numbers from the label ready — a photo of the label works.
Check whether your model is under a safety recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s site: cpsc.gov/Recalls. Your owner’s manual is on LG’s support site; search it with the model number from the label.
