LG Washer Code Cd — Cool Down Cycle Complete
What this means
The Cd code on LG combo washer-dryer units (such as the WashCombo series) is not an error code — it is a status indicator that means 'Cool Down.' It appears when the drying cycle has completed and the drum is running a cool-down tumble to reduce the temperature of the clothes before the cycle fully ends. This prevents wrinkles from setting into hot fabric and reduces the risk of burns when removing clothes. The Cd indicator may stay on the display for 10–15 minutes while the cool-down tumble runs. On some models, intermittent tumbling continues for up to 4 hours after the cycle ends (wrinkle care feature) until the door is opened.
Alternate codes: CD
Step-by-step fix
2 stepsWait for cool-down to finish
The Cd code means the drying cycle has ended and the machine is cooling down. Wait for the Cd indicator to turn off, which typically takes 10–15 minutes. The drum may tumble intermittently during this time.
If you need your clothes immediately, you can open the door during cool-down. The cycle will stop and clothes may be slightly warm.
Remove clothes promptly
Once cool-down is complete or you open the door, remove your clothes promptly to prevent wrinkles. On models with the wrinkle care feature, the drum continues to tumble periodically until you open the door.
The longer clothes sit in the drum after cool-down, the more wrinkles will set. Remove within 30 minutes for best results.
When to call a professional
Not necessary. Cd is a normal operational status indicator, not a malfunction.
