A LG dryer shares most of its parts with other dryers, but its controls, error codes and sensor-dry cycles are specific to the brand. The Knoxville list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Washer and Dryer Repair is independent and not affiliated with LG. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair LG dryers and other brands.
