LG Dryer Lines and Features
How LG Dryers Are Built
Energy Saver is on by default for Cotton/Normal and air-dries without heat for much of the cycle, which lengthens run time and can look like a heating fault. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
Sensor cycles stop when the load reaches the selected dryness level read by humidity sensor bars in the drum, so small, bulky or mixed loads can come out damp. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
What LG Says to Check First
- Dryer has no power. See whether the drum light comes on, confirm the cord is secure at the dryer and the outlet, and reset the circuit breaker. Source: LG US - Why does my dryer have no power
- Clothes still damp after a sensor cycle. Clean the humidity sensor bars and use a manual or time dry cycle for small, bulky or mixed loads. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
