Know Your LG Dryer
What Makes LG Dryer Repairs Different
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
LG traces most no-heat and slow-dry complaints to restricted airflow from lint or blocked ducting rather than a failed part. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
Common LG Dryer Problems
- Dryer not heating. Check for restricted airflow first by cleaning the lint filter and inspecting the duct behind the dryer and the outside vent. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Turn off Energy Saver, clear lint and duct restrictions, and have the in-wall vent professionally inspected if the problem continues. Source: LG US - Why is my dryer not heating, not drying, or taking a long time drying
