What that error code means — and what you can safely check

LG oven F21 error code

F21 means door lock error. The door lock did not engage when a program was started, so the oven will not begin..

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Re-close the door firmly and clear anything blocking the latch.
  2. Clean around the latch — grease and debris stop engagement.
  3. Power-cycle and retry.

Call a professional when…

If F21 persists with a clean closed door, the lock or its switch is replaced. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
