What are some common problems with LG stoves?

Some common problems with LG stoves and ranges reported by owners and service technicians include control board and electronic issues, heating inconsistencies, and knob safety concerns. The most reported issue is accidental burner activation on gas slide-in models with front control knobs, where children, pets, or leaning against the stove can turn knobs on without noticing, leading to a recall for free knob locks and improved detent knobs on models LSG4511 and LRG4115 manufactured 2015-2023. Second, control board failure after self-clean is common: the high heat of 800 to 900 degrees during self-clean can stress the main control board, display board, and thermal fuse, causing F9, F19, or no display errors, especially if self-clean is used monthly. Third, uneven baking and temperature inaccuracy where oven runs 25 to 50 degrees hot or cold due to sensor drift or ProBake element placement, requiring calibration via settings menu. Fourth, oven not heating or igniter failure in gas models after 5 to 8 years, where igniter glows but does not ignite gas or heating element burns out in electric models. Fifth, door lock failure where self-clean door will not unlock after cycle. Sixth, touch control sensitivity where controls activate accidentally or do not respond when hands are wet. Regular maintenance like not using foil on bottom, avoiding excessive self-clean, and using surge protectors reduces many issues.
