Cleaning the Cool Air Inlet
Grill
Vacuum the Cool Air Inlet grill 3 – 4 times a year
to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt
that may cause improper air ow.
NOTE
• Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation
grill.
• Adequate ventilation should be provided to
avoid the back ow of gases into the room from
units burning other fuels, such as open res.
Wiping the Moisture Sensor
This 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 the drum.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems
at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the
following before you call for service:
EN
Diagnosing Problems
Symptoms Reason Solution
• Make sure that the plug is securely
plugged into a grounded outlet
matching the appliance’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 qualied electrician.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
• 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.
• 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. Some
loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level setting for proper drying.
• Remove the lint from the lint lter
before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint lter 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 lter during the cycle.
Appliance will not
turn on.
Appliance does not
heat.
Clothes take too long
to dry.
Power cord is not properly
plugged in.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Appliance controls are not set
properly.
Lint lter needs to be cleaned.
28
Symptoms Reason Solution
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for better drying performance
and efciency.
• 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.
• 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 lter. Even an unbalanced
load in the appliance can cause poor
spinning, resulting in wetter clothes
which will take longer to dry.
• When washing laundry that is to
be dried in the appliance, use the
correct amount of fabric softener as
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean
items. Soil from dirty clothes can
transfer to the clean clothes in the
same or later loads.
• 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 difcult soils may
require pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes take too long
to dry.
Drying time is not
consistent.
Greasy or dirty spots
are left on clothes.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Appliance is overloaded.
Appliance is underloaded.
Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
Fabric softener is used
incorrectly.
Clean and dirty clothes are
being dried together.
Clothes were not properly
cleaned or rinsed before
being placed in the appliance.
EN
29
Symptoms Reason Solution
• Over drying a load of laundry can lead
to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time.
• Use the Anti crease option.
• 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.
• Remove the lint from the lint lter
before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint lter 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 lter 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).
• Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before
drying clothes.
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause
a buildup of static electricity. Adjust
settings and use a shorter drying time,
or use Sensor Dry programmes.
• These fabrics are naturally more
prone to static buildup. Try using fabric
softener, or use shorter Timed Drying
time settings.
Clothes are wrinkled.
Clothes are shrinking.
Lint is left on clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after drying.
Clothes have dried too long
(overdried).
Clothes have been left in the
appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
Garment care instructions are
not being followed.
Lint lter has not been
cleaned properly.
Laundry has not been sorted
properly.
Appliance is overloaded.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been
left in pockets.
Clothes have dried for too
long (overdried).
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
EN

Symptoms Reason Solution
Water leaks.
Clothes have damp
spots after a Sensor
Dry programme.
The water container hose
or the drain hose is not
connected correctly.
The door is closed while
laundry or foreign substance
is caught in the door.
Very large load or very small
load. Single large item such
as a blanket or comforter.
• Connect the water container hose or
the drain hose correctly.
• Check if laundry or foreign substance
is caught in the door before using the
appliance. If water leaks continuously,
contact the LG Electronics Customer
Information Centre.
• If items are too tightly packed or too
sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load.
Use a Timed Drying 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 trap, then set a Timed Drying
programme to nish drying the item(s).
