Cycle Guide

= default setting

= allowable option

* TurboSteam can only be selected if the Very or More dry level is selected.

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.

LowTemp Dry

This cycle can save energy over the Normal cycle, depending on the load size. It may be necessary to adjust the Dryness Level to achieve the desired amount of drying.

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 REMAINING 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 Loads

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.

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.

Dryer will not turn on	• Power cord is not properly plugged in.	• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’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.
Dryer 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 turned off (gas models only).	• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.
	• Energy Saver option selected	• If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option. The Energy Saver option 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.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes	• Fabric softener used incorrectly.	• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.
	• Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.	• 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.	• 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.
	• 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.	• See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.
	• Dryer is overloaded.	• Divide larger 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 not used or used incorrectly.	• 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.
	• 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 SENSOR DRY cycles.
	• Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.	• 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. Refer to pages 27-30 in this manual.
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.	• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.
	• 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.
	• Dryer controls are not set properly.	• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
	• Lint filter needs to be cleaned.	• 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.
	• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.	• 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.
	• 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.
	• Dryer is overloaded.	• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
	• Dryer is underloaded.	• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.
	• Energy Saver option selected	• If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle.
Clothes are wrinkled	• Clothes dried too long (overdried).	• 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.
	• Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.	• 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 the steam generator will not work. • The pump is not working.
