This clears the temporary communication glitch in about 8 out of 10 cases….
If you see CL on your LG refrigerator display, it stands for “Child Lock.” It’s a safety feature, not a mechanical failure—the control panel buttons are locked so kids or accidental presses can’t change settings.

Error code 5D means your Whirlpool washer has detected too many suds in the drum and stopped mid-cycle to protect the pump and motor.
