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. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions LG and fill in with nearby dryer repair companies so you always have options.
Washer and Dryer Repair is independent and not affiliated with LG. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair LG dryers and other brands.
