How to fix LG Ranges oven control displaying “PF“ or “HS“ message?
- C
  carterabigailAug 13, 2025
  If your LG Ranges oven control displays a “PF“ or “HS“ message, ensure the cord is correctly plugged into the outlet and check the circuit breakers. The 'PF' message appears after a power interruption; press the CLEAR/OFF control pad and reset the clock. To clear the 'HS' message, press the ON/OFF pad. If these steps don't work, it could be due to incomplete service wiring or a power outage, requiring you to contact your appliance servicer or local electric company.

How to level my LG LSC5683WW Ranges?

  Jessica FordAug 17, 2025
  To level your LG Ranges, place an oven rack in the center and put a level on it. Adjust the leveling legs at the base until the rack is level. Ensure the floor is level, strong, and stable enough to support the range. If the floor is sagging, contact a carpenter. Also, check that kitchen cabinets are square and provide sufficient clearance.

  If your LG Ranges oven isn't working, first ensure the electrical plug is fully inserted into a live, properly grounded outlet. Check your home's fuse or circuit breaker, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. Also, verify that the oven controls are properly set.

What to do if my LG LSC5683WW is hard to move and the oven control beeps an F code?
- K
  Katie WallaceAug 26, 2025
  If you cannot easily move your LG Ranges, ensure cabinets aren't too tight; contact the builder or installer to make the appliance accessible, and ensure that carpet isn't interfering with the range. If the oven control beeps and displays an F code, the keypad may be shorted; press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display and stop the beeping. If the door locking system doesn’t operate, reprogram the oven; if the fault recurs, record the fault number, press CLEAR/OFF, and contact a service agent. Low voltage can also cause issues; cover the pan with a lid until the desired heat is obtained. Also, check the fuse or circuit breaker.

Why won't my LG LSC5683WW oven self-clean?
- M
  montoyawilliamAug 28, 2025
  If your LG Ranges oven will not self-clean, allow the range to cool and reset the controls. If the oven was heavily soiled, clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period of time.

How do I prevent scratches on my LG LSC5683WW cooktop surface?
- D
  Deborah BrownSep 1, 2025
  Scratches or abrasions on your LG Ranges cooktop surface can occur if you've used cookware with a rough bottom; switch to smooth, flat-bottomed cookware. Avoid scraping metal utensils on the surface and use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove marks. Ensure the cooktop and utensil bottoms are clean to avoid scratches from coarse particles like salt or sand. If you've used improper cleaning materials, consult the 'Cleaning the glass cooktop' section in the MAINTENANCE section.

Why does “CLEAN” flash on my LG LSC5683WW display?
- A
  Andrea HallSep 5, 2025
  If “CLEAN” flashes in the display of your LG Ranges, it means the self-clean cycle has been selected, but the door isn't closed; close the oven door. Alternatively, the oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven hasn't dropped below the locking temperature; press the CLEAR/OFF pad and allow the oven to cool.
