What F16 (Oven Sensor Issue) Means
F16 indicates an oven sensor issue, per LG's range Help Library article - distinct from the F1/F2/F4/F5 thermistor-specific codes, suggesting a different sensor within the oven's control system.
Common Causes of F16 (Oven Sensor Issue)
- Oven sensor fault (unspecified beyond the thermistor codes)
- Sensor wiring issue
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Press the CLEAR/OFF key and try the original function again; if it reappears, cycle the circuit breaker for 30 seconds before trying once more.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- If a breaker cycle doesn't clear F16, the specific sensor at fault needs a technician's diagnostic equipment to identify, since LG's own documentation doesn't distinguish which sensor beyond naming the general fault.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
