What Makes LG Dryer Repairs Different
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
What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
