- Cool the dryer down and follow the above steps.
- Press the Start/Pause button.
Empty Water Container
Condensed water is collected in the water container.
Empty the water container after every use.
Not doing so will affect the drying performance. If the water container is full, the “Empty Water” lamp glows and the buzzer sounds while the dryer is operating. If this should occur, the water container needs to be emptied within the next hour.
1. Pull out the water container.
2. Empty water container in the sink.
3. Push it back into the dryer.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
Note A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase drying time as well as energy consumption.
WARNING Do not drink the condensed water.
CAUTION If the laundry is not spun at a high speed during washing, energy consumption and drying time will increase. In some instances, LCD window may display “Empty Water” and the dryer may stop because the water container is full.
Ventilation Grille and Cool Air Inlet Grille
Vacuum the front ventilation grille 3-4 times a year to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that may cause improper air flow.
Note
- Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grille.
- Adequate ventilation should be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from units burning other fuels, such as open fires.
Condensed Water Drain-out
Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the water container where water is collected until manually emptied. Water can also be drained out directly to a mains drain, especially when the dryer is stacked on top of a washing machine. With a connecting kit for the mains drain hose, simply change the water path and re-route to the drainage facility as below:
1. Take connecting kit out.
2. Separate water container hose from the kit.
3. Connect drain hose to the kit.
Moisture Sensor?
The 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 drum. (as illustrated)
Before cleaning the dryer's interior, unplug the power cord to avoid electric shock hazards.
- Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
The water inlet filter
- "
" icon will be displayed on the control panel when water does not enter the dryer. - If water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
 |
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Care fully remove the filter from inlet valve and clean the filter using a bristle brush.
4. Replace the filter and tighten up the inlet hose. |

Using SmartDiagnosis™
- Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center. The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call center.
- SmartDiagnosis™ cannot be activated if the dryer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SmartDiagnosis™. If you experience problems with your dryer, call to customer information center. Follow the call center agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:
- Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.
2. When instructed to do so by the call center, place the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "SmartDiagnosis™" icon and Power button.
3. Press and hold the “ More)” button for three seconds, while holding the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "SmartDiagnosis™" icon and Power button.
4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time.
- For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
- If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis at the call to customer information center.
Note “Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.”
