Connecting the Water Inlet

Hose

To generate steam, the dryer must be connected

to the cold water tap using a new water supply

hose. Do not use old hoses.

WARNING

• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the

hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading

can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in

leaking and property damage.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses

when installing the appliance. Old hoses could

leak or burst causing flooding and property

damage. Contact an LG Customer Information

Center for assistance in buying hoses.

CAUTION

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,

and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.

• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and

make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or

kinked by other objects.

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi

and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply

pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure

reducing valve must be installed.

• Do not store or install the appliance in a location

subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the

water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of

the appliance can result. If the appliance was

exposed to freezing temperatures prior to

installation, allow it to stand at room

temperature for several hours before use and

check for leaks prior to operation.

• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto

shut off devices. The devices can be tripped

during fill and prevent the appliance from filling

properly.

28 INSTALLATION

How to Connect the Water Inlet

Hoses

1 Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the

threaded fitting on each hose and make sure

there is a rubber seal a in place in both ends

of each hose to prevent leaking.

2 Check the type of installation and connect the

hose to the faucet. Connect all water supply

hoses tightly by hand and then tighten

another 2/3 turn with pliers.

• Type 1 : WITHOUT WASHER (The dryer does

not share the faucet with the washing

machine.)

1) Connect the straight end of the long

hose

b to the cold water faucet.

• Type 2 : WITH WASHER (The dryer shares

the faucet with the washing machine.)

1) Shut off the cold water tap and remove

the washer inlet hose.

2) Connect the short hose

c to the Y-

connector d using one of the rubber

seals.

3) Connect the other end of the short hose

c to the cold water faucet.

4) Connect the long dryer hose b to one

side of the Y-connector d. Connect the

washer hose to the washer and the

other side of the Y-connector d.

NOTE

• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,

flush several gallons of water into a drain or

bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles

such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer

inlet valve.

3 Connect the long dryer hose b to the dryer

inlet valve tightly by hand and then tighten

another 2/3 turn with pliers.

4 Turn on the cold water faucet.

5 Check all hoses and Y-connectors (if used) for

leaks.

29INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

NOTE

• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,

remove the hose and check the condition of the

rubber seal.

Final Installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the

dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper

operation with the following tests.

Test Dryer Heating

Gas Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button

to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and

Start/Pause buttons to start the test. When the

dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main

burner.

NOTE

• If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas

igniter may turn off before the main burner

ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt

gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

Electric Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button

to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and

Start/Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust

air should be warm after the dryer has been

operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by

evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in

the exhaust duct can be measured with a

manometer, placed on the exhaust duct

approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static

pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6

inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while

the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the

dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front

to back and side to side, and that all four leveling

feet are in firm contact with the floor.

Test Exhaust System

Once you have completed the installation of the

appliance, use this test to make sure the condition

of the exhaust system is adequate for proper

operation of the appliance. This test should be

performed to alert you to any serious problems in

the exhaust system of your home.

• Your appliance features Flow Sense

, an

innovative sensing system that automatically

detects blockages and restrictions in dryer

ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint

buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to

dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

• The appliance should be cool before starting this

test. If the appliance was warmed up during

installation, run the Air Dry cycle for a few

minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

Activating the Installation Test

1 Remove the drying rack and literature, and

then close the door.

• Do not load anything in the drum for this

test, as it may affect the accuracy of the

results.

2 Press and hold the More Time and Damp Dry

Signal buttons and then press the Power

button.

• On models with a glass touch control panel,

press the Power button then IMMEDIATELY

press and hold the More Time and Damp

Dry Signal buttons.

30 INSTALLATION

• This button sequence activates the

installation test. The code 1Ns will display if

the activation is successful.

3 Press the Start/Pause button.

• The appliance will start the test, which will

last a few minutes. The heat will be turned

on and the temperatures in the drum will be

measured.

4 Check the display for results.

• During the test cycle, monitor the Flow

Sense

display on the control panel. If no

bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the

exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust

system is severely restricted, the display will

show four bars. Other problems may also

be shown with error codes. See the chart on

the next page for error code details and

solutions.

• If four bars indicates that the exhaust

system is severely restricted, have the

system checked immediately, as

performance will be poor.

5 End of cycle.

• At the end of the test cycle, ENd will display.

The test cycle will end and the appliance will

shut off automatically after a short delay.

Check the Duct Condition

If the Flow Sense

LED is turned on, check the

exhaust system for restrictions and damage.

Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

• When the appliance is first installed, this test

should be performed to alert you to any existing

problems with the exhaust duct in your home.

However, since the test performed during

normal operation provides more accurate

information on the condition of the exhaust duct

than the installation test, the results during the

two tests may not be the same.

• Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could

result in inaccurate results.

• Even if the LED doesn't light up during the test

cycle, some restrictions may still be present in

the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the

Dryer section of this manual for complete

exhaust system and venting requirements.

from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If

Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will

tumble briefly every few minutes to help

prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every

Load

Always make sure the lint filter a is clean before

starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will

increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter

straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your

33OPERATION

ENGLISH

fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.

See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure that the lint filter is properly

installed before running the dryer. Running the

dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage

the dryer and articles in the dryer.

Loading the Dryer

NOTE

• For the best drying performance and most

efficient energy usage, do not overload the

appliance.

General Tips

• Combine large and small items in the same load.

• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with

zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to

prevent them from catching on or tangling with

other clothes or damaging the lint fitter.

NOTE

• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not

overload the dryer; clothes require room to

tumble and dry properly.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best drying results, and to reduce the

possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into

loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements,

and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Woolen Items

• Always follow fabric care labels before drying

woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the

items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle.

Pull the items to their original shape if needed

and lay them flat to finish drying.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink,

depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent

press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce

wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

• Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or containing

rubber or plastics such as:

- Aprons, bibs and chair covers

- Curtains and tablecloths

- Bath mats

Fiberglass

• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass

particles left in the dryer could be picked up by

your clothes the next time you use the dryer and

irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,

size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer.

This will save energy and time and give the best

drying performance.

Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?

A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on and press and hold

the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.

Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?

A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or

clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required

to dry clothing will be greatly increased. For more tips, see the troubleshooting charts.

Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?

A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours

after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the

dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

Q: Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle?

A: When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments

for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the More Time or Less Time

buttons to adjust the load size setting for the number of garments you desire. For a large load or

single bulky item use the

6IQ (big) setting.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Flow Sense

indicator shows four

bars during the

drying cycle.

Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation instructions for details.

Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.

• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. The appliance can be used in this

condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.

The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.

• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense

system, the indicator will remain on

for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will

turn off the display.

The Flow Sense

indicator remains

active after clearing

the restriction in the

venting.

After clearing the restrictions, the Flow Sense

system requires multiple, consecutive

cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense

indicator is reset.

•If the Flow Sense

indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction

has been cleared, call for service.

The appliance will

not turn on.

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• Make sure that the power 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 qualified electrician.

52 TROUBLESHOOTING

The 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 qualified electrician.

Gas supply or service is turned off.

• Confirm that the hose gas shutoff and the shutoff valves of the dryer are both fully open.

Even if gas is not supplied to the appliance, it will run and no error codes will display. Verify

that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.

Energy Saver option is selected.

•If using Normal cycle, deselect the energy saver option that is selected by default. This

option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is

normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

Clothes take too long

to dry.

Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and

obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and are not

blocked, jammed, or damaged.

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 and heavy fabrics are loaded.

• 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.

Dryer 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 filter needs to be cleaned.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter 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 filter during

the cycle.

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 qualified electrician.

The appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.

The appliance is underloaded.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumble action. If

the load is small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control can not

properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use MANUAL DRY

cycles or add some extra wet clothes to the load.

Energy Saver option is selected. (on some models)

•If using Normal cycle, deselect the energy saver option that is selected by default. This

option reduces enery use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is

normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

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 size of the load, the type of fabrics,

the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in

the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to

dry.

ENGLISH

Performance

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use

a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of

moisture.

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

• Use the Wrinkle Care option. This option will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes

for up to 2 hours to help prevent wrinkling.

Greasy or dirty spots

on clothes.

Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Use your dryer 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 dryer.

• 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 washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating

prior to washing.

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 a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

Lint on clothes. Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up

to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions in

the MAINTENANCE section. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be

necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Laundry not 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).

Excess static in clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s

instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.

• Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.

The appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Excess static in

clothes after drying.

Fabric softener is not used or is used incorrectly.

• Use a fabric softener or the Reduce Static option, if available, to reduce static electricity.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clothes dried 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 MANUAL DRY cycles. Select a lower dry level setting on

SENSOR DRY cycles, if necessary.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a

lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings for MANUAL DRY cycles.

54 TROUBLESHOOTING

Steam Functions

Clothes have damp

spots after a SENSOR

DRY cycle.

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 cycle 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 CYCLE has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a MANUAL

DRY cycle to finish drying the item(s).

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Water drips from

nozzle when Steam

Cycle starts.

This is normal.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Garments still

wrinkled after Steam

Fresh

Too many or overly different types of garments in dryer.

• Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar types of

garments.

Creases or pleats are

gone from garments

after Steam Fresh

The function of this cycle is to remove wrinkles from fabric.

• Use an iron to replace creases and pleats in garments.

Garments have static

after using the

Reduce Static option.

This is normal.

• The amount of static experienced will depend on the individual moisture level in the skin.

Garments are too

damp or too dry

after using the

Reduce Static option.

Correct drying options not selected.

• Select the load weight manually before starting the Reduce Static option.

Steam does not

generate, but no

error code is shown.

Water level error.

• Unplug dryer and call for service.

Water drips from

door during Steam

Cycle.

This is normal.

• Condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door during steam operation.

Some condensation may drip out the bottom of the door.

Steam is not visible

during Steam Cycle.

This is normal.

• Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will

normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally.

Drum does not turn

during Steam Cycle.

This is normal.

• The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum. The drum will

normally turn for about 2 seconds once a minute.

Cannot see steam

vapor at the

beginning of cycle.

This is normal.

• Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option.

Odors remain in

clothing after Steam

Fresh

Steam Fresh™ did not remove odor completely.

• Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

55TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGLISH

Odors

Wi-Fi

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

The appliance has an

unpleasant odor.

Are you using the appliance for the first time?

• The odor is caused by the rubber material inside the appliance. The odor normal when the

appliance is new and disappears after you run several cycles.

Do you smell an odor during use?

• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent when washing

clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and cause odors.

• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to odors. Unload

clothing promptly when the cycle ends.

• If the odor is coming from the washer, follow the instructions in the product manual to

clean the washer tub/drum.

• Keep lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors. After cleaning the lint

filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Trouble connecting

appliance and

smartphone to Wi-Fi

network.

The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly.

• Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the connection process again.

Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.

• Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before connecting the appliance.

The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.

• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and

numbers. (Do not use special characters.)

The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.

• Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and

connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with

your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.

The appliance is too far from the router.

• If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may

not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and

install a Wi-Fi repeater.

During Wi-Fi setup, the app is requesting a password to connect to the product (on

certain phones).

• Locate the network name which starts with "LG" under Settings > Networks. Note the last

part of the network name.

- If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XX-XX-XX, enter lge12345.

- If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XXXX, enter XXXX twice as your password.

For example, if the network name appears as LGE_Appliance_8b92, then you would

enter 8b928b92 as your password. In this instance, the password is case sensitive and

the last 4 characters are unique to your appliance.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED

WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND

NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH

WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its

parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,

58 WARRANTY

predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include

any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,

regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or

relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify

LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG

Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.

You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The

notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of

the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to

resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during

the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us

only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute

between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or

entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you

and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of

arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court

action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written

demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association

(“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that

are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the

procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a

copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner

described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics,

USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a

conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will

govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on

the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,

except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the

arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this

provision.

Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any

disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable

federal law.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand

for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000

in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as

otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any

arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the

arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering

factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator

can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your

claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by

the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will

be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously

disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise

provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails

in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration

conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic

hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the

right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a

location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or

we agree to a telephonic arbitration.

59WARRANTY

Number”).

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail

or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any
