•
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
create heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
•
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in
a tumble dryer they should rst be washed in hot water with extra
detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that
may cause improper air ow.
NOTE
•
Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation
grill.
•
Adequate ventilation should be provided to
avoid the back ow of gases into the room from
units burning other fuels, such as open res.
Wiping the Moisture Sensor
This device senses the moisture level of the
laundry during operation, which means it must be
cleaned regularly to remove any build up of lime
scale on the surface of the sensor.
Wipe the sensors inside the drum.
CAUTION
•
Do not wipe the moisture sensor with abrasive
materials. Always clean the sensor with a rough
sponge.
26
Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser is also a very important part for
efcient drying performance result, so it needs
special care from you. It is recommended that the
condenser be cleaned three or four times a year or
when the icon blinks.
1
Push the cap and open the condensing cover.
2
Open the seal by turning the locking lever.
3
Pull the condenser out by inserting a nger
into the tab at the front of the condenser. (Do
not force the condenser).

Clean the condenser thoroughly under a tap,
letting the water ow through.
5
Put everything back together by following the
instructions in reverse order.
CAUTION
•
The locking lever must be closed after cleaning
the condenser as illustrated above.
•
Operating when the condenser is clogged
with lint can damage the appliance. This also
increases energy consumption.
•
Do not use sharp objects to clean the heat
exchanger. This could cause damage and
leaking.
•
Never operate the appliance without the heat
exchanger.
27
The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at
an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following
before you call for service:
Diagnosing Problems
Symptoms Reason Solution
Appliance will not
turn on
Power cord is not properly
plugged in.
•
Make sure that the plug is securely
plugged into a grounded outlet
matching the appliance’s rating plate.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
•
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
Appliance does not
heat
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
•
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
Clothes take too
long to dry
Load is not properly sorted.
•
Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry. Light items in a load
with heavy items can fool the sensor
because the light items dry faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
•
Heavy fabrics take longer to dry
because they tend to retain more
moisture. To help reduce and maintain
more consistent drying times for large
and heavy fabrics, separate these
items into smaller loads of a consistent
size.
Appliance controls are not set
properly.
•
Use the appropriate control settings for
the type of load you are drying. Some
loads may require an adjustment of
the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint lter needs to be cleaned.
•
Remove the lint from the lint lter
before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint lter up to a
light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With
some loads that produce high amounts
of lint, such as new bath towels, it may
be necessary to pause the cycle and
clean the lter during the cycle.
TROUBLESHOOTING
28
Symptoms Reason Solution
Clothes take too
long to dry
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
•
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
•
Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for better drying performance
and efciency.
Appliance is underloaded.
•
If you are drying a very small load,
add a few extra items to ensure proper
tumbling action. If the load is very
small and you are using Sensor Dry
programmes, the electronic control
cannot properly sense the dryness of
the load and may shut off too soon.
Use Manual Dry programmes or add
some extra wet clothes to the load.
Drying time is not
consistent
Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
•
The drying time for a load will vary
depending on the type of heat used
(electric), the size of the load, the type
of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes,
and lint lter. Even an unbalanced
load in the appliance can cause poor
spinning, resulting in wetter clothes
which will take longer to dry.
Greasy or dirty
spots are left on
clothes
Fabric softener is used
incorrectly.
•
When washing laundry that is to
be dried in the appliance, use the
correct amount of fabric softener as
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are
being dried together.
•
Use the appliance to dry only clean
items. Soil from dirty clothes can
transfer to the clean clothes in the
same or later loads.
Clothes were not properly
cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
•
Stains on dried clothes could be
stains that were not removed during
the washing process. Make sure
that clothes are being completely
cleaned or rinsed according to the
instructions for your washing machine
and detergent. Some difcult soils may
require pre-treating prior to washing.
29
Symptoms Reason Solution
Clothes are
wrinkled
Clothes have dried too long
(overdried).
•
Over drying a load of laundry can
lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter
drying time.
Clothes have been left in the
appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
•
Use the
Anti crease
option.
Clothes are
shrinking
Garment care instructions are
not being followed.
•
To avoid shrinking your clothes,
always consult and follow fabric care
instructions. Some fabrics will naturally
shrink when washed. Other fabrics can
be washed but will shrink when dried
in the appliance. Use a low or no heat
setting.
Lint is left on
clothes
Lint lter has not been
cleaned properly.
•
Remove the lint from the lint lter
before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint lter up to a light
to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks
dirty, follow the cleaning instructions.
With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, it may be necessary to
clean the lint lter during the cycle.
Laundry has not been sorted
properly.
•
Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a
fuzzy white cotton towel) and should
be dried separately from clothes that
are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black
linen pants).
Appliance is overloaded.
•
Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been
left in pockets.
•
Check pockets thoroughly before
drying clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after drying
Clothes have dried for too
long (overdried).
•
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause
a buildup of static electricity. Adjust
settings and use a shorter drying time,
or use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
•
These fabrics are naturally more
prone to static buildup. Try using fabric
softener, or use shorter Manual Dry
time settings.
30
Symptoms Reason Solution
Water leaks
The water container hose
or the drain hose is not
connected correctly.
•
Connect the water container hose or
the drain hose correctly.
The door is closed while
laundry or foreign substance
is caught in the door.
•
Check if laundry or foreign substance
is caught in the door before using the
appliance. If water leaks continuously,
contact the LG Electronics Customer
Information Centre.
Clothes have
damp spots after
a Sensor Dry
programme
Very large load or very small
load. Single large item such
as a blanket or comforter.
•
If items are too tightly packed or too
sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load.
Use a Manual Dry programme for very
small loads.
•
Large, bulky items such as blankets
or comforters can sometimes wrap
themselves into a tight ball of fabric.
The outside layers will dry and register
on the sensors, while the inner core
remains damp. When drying a single
bulky item, it may help to pause the
cycle once or twice and rearrange the
item to unwrap and expose any damp
areas.
•
To dry a few remaining damp items
from a very large load or a few damp
spots on a large item after a Sensor
Dry programme has completed, empty
the lint trap, then set a Manual Dry
programme to nish drying the item(s).
