Cycle guide

Sensor dry cycles

Sensor dry cycles utilize LG’s unique dual sensor system to detect and compare the moisture level in clothes and in the air and adjust the drying time as needed to ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dryness level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown in the display.

NOTE: To protect your garments not every dryness level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.

Manual dry cycles

Use manual dry cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a manual dry cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remainng display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing More Time or Less Time.

CERTIFIED BY NSF/P154

NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation Foundation), certifies that the Anti Bacterial cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria on laundry, and none of the bacteria will carry over onto the next laundry load.

• The default settings for the Anti Bacterial cycle are High temperature and Very Dry. These default settings cannot be changed.
• Do NOT use this cycle with delicate items or fabrics.

Sorting load

Fabric care labels

Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.

Grouping similar items

For best results, 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.

Loading the dryer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

NOTE: Loading tips

• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

Check the lint filter before every load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.

To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular cleaning for more information.

Always ensure 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before Calling for Service

Your dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.

Problem	Possible Causes	Solutions
Dryer will not turn on	Power cord is not properly plugged in. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.	Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate. 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.
Dryer does not heat	House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).	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. Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes	Fabric softener used incorrectly. Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.	Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads. Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error code tE1 or tE2	Thermistor is malfunctioning.	Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothes	Lint filter not cleaned properly. Laundry not sorted properly. Excess static in clothes. Dryer is overloaded. Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.	Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. 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). See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below. Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Excess static in clothes after drying	Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly. Clothes dried too long (overdried). Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.	Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 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. These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.
Display shows error code PS	Power cord connection is incorrect.	Check the connection of power cord to the terminal block.
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 heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.
Clothes take too long to dry	Load is not properly sorted. Large load of heavy fabrics. Dryer controls are not set properly. Lint filter needs to be cleaned. Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. Dryer is overloaded. Dryer is underloaded.	Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. 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. Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged. 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. Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.
Clothes are wrinkled	Clothes dried too long (overdried). Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.	Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the Wrinkle Care option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.
Clothes are shrinking	Garment care instructions are not being followed.	To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because 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.
indicator light is on during the drying cycle	Water supply error.	Check steam feeder drawer: (1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to MAX line. (2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer is fully closed. (3) Turn the dryer off then restart the Steam cycle. Do not use distilled water; the water level sensor in steam generator will not work. Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call for service.
Water drips from nozzle when Steam Cycle starts	This is normal.	This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
Check Filter (Display)	POWER button was activated	Press START to begin a dry cycle and the display will disappear.
Steam does not generate but no error code is shown	•Water level error.	Unplug dryer and call for service.
Garments still wrinkled after Steam Fresh™	Too many or too different types of garments in dryer.	Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
There are no creases left on garment after Steam Fresh™	The function of this cycle is to remove wrinkles from fabric.	Use an iron to make creases.
Garments have static after Reduce Static	This is normal.	Depends on individual moisture level in skin.
Garments are too damp or too dry after Reduce Static	Correct drying options not selected.	Select load weight manually before starting Reduce Static option.
Garments are not uniformly damp after Easy Iron	Number of garments or load size not properly selected at the beginning of the cycle.	Select the correct number or garments or load size before starting the cycle.
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.
The display shows	MORE TIME button pressed.	This display indicates that the steam option has been set for a “ ” item such as a comforter. Press the LESS TIME button to reduce the indicated load size.
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.
Check Filter Light turns on before the cycle starts.	This light is a reminder that the lint filter must be cleaned before each load.	Make it a habit to clean the lint filter after removing laundry at the end of each load. The light will go out when the cycle starts.
Flow SenseTM indicator shows four bars during the drying cycle or the display shows “d80” after drying.	Ductwork is too long or has too many turns/restrictions. Significant blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or debris. The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.	Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions. Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times may be longer. If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow SenseTM system, the indicator will remain on for two hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the POWER button will turn off the display.
The display shows “d90”, “d95”	The duct work is about 90%- 95% blocked.(“d90” or “d95” error code displayed 2 hours only) House exhaust system blocked.	Do not use the dryer until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted. Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.
