Performance
Symptoms
Clothes take too long
to dry.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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. 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.
