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 Kettering list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with LG, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
