Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
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.
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.
Water leaks. The water container hose or the optional drain hose is not connected
correctly.
• Connect the water container hose or the optional drain hose correctly.
The door is closed while clothes or foreign substance is caught in the
door.
• Check if clothes or foreign substance is caught in the door before using the
appliance. If water leaks continuously, contact the LG Electronics
Customer Information Centre.
Appliance runs and
pauses by itself after
the drying cycle
finishes.
This is how the Anti Crease option works.
• Make sure that the
Anti Crease
option has been set. The option is
designed to prevent creases that are formed when the clothes are not
unloaded promptly after the drying cycle. When the option is set, the
appliance runs for 10 seconds and pauses for 5 minutes. The option is
works for up to 2 hours.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Clothes take too long
to dry.
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 filter needs to be cleaned.
• The appliance displays a filter cleaning message before and after the cycle
operation. “Clean the filter to start the cycle”, “Clean inner and outer filters
to start cycle”
• Remove the lint from the lint filter before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint 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.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance
and efficiency.
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 Timed Drying 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 filter. 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 clothes that are 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.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution

TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Greasy or dirty spots
are left on clothes.
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 difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of clothes 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 filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the lint removed,
hold the lint filter 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 filter during the cycle.
Clothes have 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 clothes 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 Timed Drying time settings.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution

TROUBLESHOOTING
Odours
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
Timed 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 filter, then set a
Timed Dry
programme to finish drying the item(s).
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
The appliance has an
odour.
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
• The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to the appliance
inside. This kind of smell is a rubber's own smell and disappears
automatically after using the appliance several times.
Do you smell an odour during use?
• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent
when washing clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and
cause odours.
• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to
odors. Unload clothing promptly when the cycle ends.
• 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.
• For ventless models, leave the dryer door open after drying, or use the
magnetic door stop (on some models) to keep the door slightly ajar.
• If the odor is coming from the washer, follow the instructions in the
product manual to clean the washer tub/drum.
• Periodically run the Drum Care and Condenser Care cycles following the
instructions in the
MAINTENANCE
section.
