LG Dryer Lines and Features
What a LG Dryer Technician Deals With
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
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
- 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
- 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
