On LG washer-dryer combo units, Cd is a status message, not an error. After the drying phase the unit runs a cool-down to lower the temperature inside the tub before unlocking the door. It clears on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually yes — CD is a low-severity normal notice that rarely stops the washing machine from working, but clearing the underlying cause prevents it from escalating.
