Know Your LG Dryer
What Makes LG Dryer Repairs Different
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
Common LG Dryer Problems
- 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
- Dryer has no power. See whether the drum light comes on, confirm the cord is secure at the dryer and the outlet, and reset the circuit breaker. Source: LG US - Why does my dryer have no power
