What Makes LG Dryer Repairs Different
LG's heat pump WashTower dryer is ventless and uses a direct drive motor and a self-cleaning condenser that flushes lint automatically. Source: LG US - WashTower with heat pump dryer WKHC252HBA
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
What LG Says to Check First
- Noisy dryer. Remove coins, keys and other loose items and fasten zippers, noting that some drum-roller thumping with uneven loads is normal. Source: LG US - Noise from the dryer
- 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
