A LG dryer shares most of its parts with other dryers, but its controls, error codes and sensor-dry cycles are specific to the brand. The Colonial Heights list starts with companies that name LG, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Independent listings only: Washer and Dryer Repair is not affiliated with or endorsed by LG. If your dryer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact LG directly.
