LG Range Error Code F36 — Induction Transistor (IGBT) Error

Advanced Fix 30–60 minutes No tools needed

What this means

The F36 error code indicates a transistor error in the induction cooktop's power module (IGBT - Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). The IGBT is the component that generates the electromagnetic field for induction heating. Overheating, power surges, or component failure can trigger this error. The affected burner will be disabled.

Step-by-step fix

2 steps
1

Reset the range

Turn off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then restore power.

2

Allow cool-down

If the range was used heavily, allow it to cool completely before retrying. IGBT modules can overheat with extended high-power cooking.

When to call a professional

IGBT module replacement is a complex repair involving high-voltage components. Always use a qualified technician.
