LG GAS — a new gas laundry hookup not getting supply
LG's own help library explains that the display message that looks like 9A5 is actually spelling the word GAS, and it means the machine is not getting the proper gas supply, most often because the valve is not fully open or the supply line is kinked on a fresh hookup.

What to do when GAS shows on the applianceKind of codeGas and first light
A new gas appliance that clicks and retries, or shows an ignition message, on its first light is often only clearing air from a fresh gas line, and the manual allows for a few tries before the flame catches. When it goes on well beyond that, or the flame is lifting, yellow and sooty, the usual cause is a fuel mismatch: a unit set up for natural gas fed from propane, or the other way round, without the conversion kit the maker specifies. Smell gas at any point and it stops being a setup message: leave and call from outside.

A new gas appliance joined to your shutoff with a new connector, every joint leak-tested, flames read.
Shows up asGas Smell After a Hookup: Leave the House, Then Call
A gas smell after a hookup is the rotten-egg odor that turns up behind a newly connected cooking appliance or laundry machine, at the connector, the valve or the burners.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG's own guidance for GAS on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Locate the gas valve and confirm it is fully open.
Check that the gas supply line is connected to the unit and is not kinked or bent.
If this is a newly installed unit and opening the valve does not resolve it, contact the installer rather than attempting the gas connection yourself.
Never attempt to open or adjust a gas fitting personally — book a visit for anything beyond confirming the valve position.
Still there?
It usually turns into gas hookup and leak check. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
GAS does not mean the burner assembly or the ignition module has failed. LG's own instruction treats it as a supply problem to check at the valve and the line first, which is exactly what a new hookup can get wrong.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
