Troubleshooting Guide for LG TV Error Codes
To deal with various error codes on your TV, you must try out different troubleshooting methods as a fix. Let’s see how to fix the above-listed LG TV error codes with the best counter fix.
Restart Your LG TV
Many users found that restarting the LG TV resolved the error codes on their TVs. Since restarting removes unwanted memory, bugs, and glitches that cause the error code, this is an effective fix for your problem.
Simply turn off and remove the power plug of your LG TV, then restart it. Once restarted, open any app you want and check for issues.
Reboot Your WIFI Router
As internet connection plays an important fundamental in this issue, try fixing the internet router of your TV as the first step. By restarting your WIFI router, you can easily get rid of slow internet and gain access to a faster network from your WIFI.
Once the restart is complete, connect your LG TV to a WIFI network and check whether the error code is showing on your TV.
With this fix, you can most probably fix multiple error codes like 7, 105, 137, and 234 on your LG TV.
LG TV Tip! To get seamless internet on your LG TV, I recommend you opt for wired internet (ethernet cable) for your TV.
Change the Date and Time on LG TV
When your internet is at its prime speed, but you still see an error code on an app saying “Unable to Load“? Then there is a chance that your LG TV’s server certificate might be outdated.
This issue occurs if the date, time, or location of the LG TV is compromised. To fix this, just change the date, time, and location on your TV. If you don’t know how to do it, here are the steps.
To Change the Date and Time on LG TV:
- webOS 6.0: Open All Settings > General > System > Time & Timer.
- Now, either click on Set Automatically or manually change the time and date on the TV.
- webOS 5.0: Go to All Settings > General > Time.
- Now choose Set automatically or manually change the time.
To Change the Location on LG TV:
- webOS 6.0: Press Settings on remote > open All Settings > Click General > System > Location > Then Choose Broadcast Country or LG Services Country > Change the location.
- webOS 5.0: Hit Settings on remote > go to All Settings > tap on General > Location > LG Services Country > Pick a Country > Done.
After updating these two things, go to the same app you opened before and check if you see the LG TV 201 error code.
Try Using a Different DNS Address
If your LG TV’s DNS address is not proper, it can’t communicate with servers and will fail to perform any functions. This might cause error codes on your LG TV. To correct this, change the DNS address on your LG TV.
To change the DNS address, go through the steps below.
webOS 6.0:
- With your LG TV turned on, press the Settings button on your remote.
- Go to All Settings on your TV and choose the General tab on the left.
- From the list, choose Network and click on Wired Connection/Wi-Fi Connection.
- Click on Edit in Wired Connection or Other Network > Advanced Wi-Fi Settings in Wi-Fi Connection.
- If you see the Edit option on the screen, tap on it and change the DNS address.
webOS 5.0:
- Open All Settings on your LG TV and go to the Network/Connection tab on the left.
- Choose the Wi-Fi Connection or Wired Connection option.
- Then open Advanced Wi-Fi Settings > Edit under Wi-Fi Connection.
- If you have chosen Wired connection, then simply tap on the Edit option.
- Change the DNS address and hit Connect to save changes.
Once doing this, check for any error codes on your TV. Also, check if the internet speed of your LG TV remains the same or improved.
In the end, even after fine-tuning the internet and DNS, if you still see error codes on your TV, contact LG TV customer service for help.
