How LG Dryers Are Built
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
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
