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
- 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 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
