LG Dryer Features Technicians Work On
What a LG Dryer Technician Deals With
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
LG traces most no-heat and slow-dry complaints to restricted airflow from lint or blocked ducting rather than a failed part. 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
- 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
