Know Your LG Dryer
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
What LG Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
