What the 14C2 error code actually means

The 14C2 error means the hot and cold water hoses connected to the upper washer are plugged into the wrong ports. Your washer detected that water is coming in through the wrong connections and stopped the cycle to prevent a problem.

Questions people ask about 14C2

What does 14C2 mean on a LG washer?
The 14C2 code on an LG washer means there is a water supply error on the upper washer compartment caused by the cold and warm water supply hoses being connected to the wrong inlets. The washer detects that water temperature assignments do not match the expected configuration and stops operation. This is a connection issue, not a component failure, and does not indicate any damaged parts.
Is it safe to use my LG washer while the 14C2 error is showing?
You should not attempt to run a wash cycle while this error is active, as the machine will halt operation and the water supply configuration is incorrect. Running cycles with reversed hoses could result in items being washed at unintended temperatures. Correct the hose connections before resuming use.
How much does it cost to fix a 14C2 error on an LG washer?
Because the 14C2 error is caused by incorrectly connected hoses rather than a failed part, there is typically no parts cost involved. If you are comfortable working with appliance connections, you can fix this yourself at no cost. If you prefer to have a technician visit to correct the hose connections, expect to pay a standard service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150 depending on your location.
How do I fix the 14C2 error on my LG washer?
Turn off the water supply valves, then disconnect both water supply hoses from the back of the upper washer section. Identify the cold and warm inlet ports using the labels on the rear panel, then reconnect each hose to its correct port. Turn the water supply back on, check for leaks at the connections, and restart the machine to clear the error.
Will resetting my LG washer clear the 14C2 error?
A basic reset will not permanently clear the 14C2 error if the hoses are still connected incorrectly. The fault will return as soon as the washer attempts to use the water supply again. The error will only clear once the cold and warm hoses are properly connected to their correct inlet ports.
