LG Range Error Code E-0A

The E-0A code means the oven detected a temperature at or above 650 degrees Fahrenheit (343 degrees Celsius) during a standard cooking function such as baking or broiling. This is a safety shutoff that cuts power to the heating elements to prevent damage. It does not apply during the self-clean cycle, which is designed to operate at much higher temperatures. The most common cause is a defective oven temperature sensor.

No, you should not continue using the oven while this error is active. The E-0A code indicates a potential overheating condition that could damage internal components or pose a fire risk. Disconnect power to the range until the fault is diagnosed and repaired. The cooktop surface burners may still function, but the oven should remain off.

Repair costs depend on the failed component. An oven temperature sensor is generally an inexpensive part, with replacement costs including labor typically ranging from around 75 to 200 dollars. If the control board is responsible, parts and labor costs can range from approximately 200 to 450 dollars or more depending on the model and service rates in your area.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by disconnecting power to the range, removing the upper rear cover panel, and testing the oven temperature sensor resistance with a multimeter. The sensor should read approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature. If it reads outside that range, replacing the sensor is a straightforward repair. If the sensor tests correctly, diagnosing the wiring harness or control board typically requires more advanced electrical knowledge.

Disconnecting power briefly may temporarily clear the code and allow the oven to operate again, but if the underlying cause such as a bad temperature sensor or faulty wiring is not corrected, the error will return once the oven reaches operating temperature. A reset is useful for confirming the fault is persistent, but it is not a repair solution.
