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.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with LG, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

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
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
- Dryer has no power. See whether the drum light comes on, confirm the cord is secure at the dryer and the outlet, and reset the circuit breaker. Source: LG US - Why does my dryer have no power
